Abstract

Fabry-Perot images of the v=1-0 S(1) (λ=2.122 μm) line of molecular hydrogen (H 2 ) in the core region of the energetic bipolar outflow source associated with NGC 2071 are presented. Using a Fabry-Perot with a FWHM of 100 km/s, we have fully sampled the velocity range −167 to +167 km/s from the wavelength of peak flux, obtaining a velocity cube of 11 images; each image covers an area of ∼ 36 × 36 arcsec 2 at a spatial resolution of 0.62 arcsec per pixel. From these data, the small (spatial) scale intensity structure of the line emission, the gross velocity characteristics of the region and the ratio of line-to-continuum emission over the source were studied
