Abstract Accurate astrometry and infrared photometry are presented for 16 objects that are believed to represent the exciting stars for Herbig-Haro (HH) objects in their vicinities. These identifications are made on the bases of steeply rising energy distributions, proper motions of HH objects, alignment of sources with HH objects, or far-infrared emission. Exciting stars for the following HH objects are newly discovered or recognized: HH 17; HH 31; HH 32; HH 33 and 40; HH 34; HH 38 and 43; HH group 14 in NGC 2264; RNO 40; RNO 43; and GGD 33a, 33b, and 35. Geometrical alignments of some sources with HH objects support the view that young stars are capable of channeling kinetic energy into small solid angles, as does the fact that some sources are slightly displaced from the apices of fan nebulae (HH 17, R Mon, Haro 6-10). These exciting stars span a wide range of bolometric luminosity, although all are likely to be very young.
