Abstract

Aims.We aim at characterising the morphology and the physical parameters governing the shock physics of the Herbig-Haro object HH99B. We obtained SINFONI-SPIFFI IFU spectroscopy (R ~ 2000-4000) between 1.10 and 2.45 μm detecting more than 170 emission lines, that, to a large extent, have never observed before in a Herbig-Haro object. Most of them come from ro-vibrational transitions of molecular hydrogen (vup ≤ 7, Eup 38 000 K) and [] (Eup 30 000 K). In addition, we observed several hydrogen and helium recombination lines, along with fine-structure lines of ionic species. All the brightest lines appear resolved in velocity.
