Abstract

The first detection of thermal H2O emission from an Herbig-Haro flow was made with the LWS (Long Wavelength Spectrometer) aboard ISO (Infrared Space Observatory). In addition to H2O, rotational lines of CO and OH as well as lines from [O I] and [C II] were also recorded from HH 54. These observations are consistent with the concept of interstellar shock waves, but a quantitative unifying shock model, capable of explaining all observations, has yet to be developed.
