Discovery of a molecular outflow,
near-infrared jet and HH objects towards
IRAS 06047-1117

Abstract.
We report discovery of a new young stellar object driving a
point-symmetric, near-infrared jet and molecular outflow.
The YSO is associated with IRAS 06047-1117 and is embedded in a dense
molecular cloud core located southeast of Orion A.
The jet is seen in the H2 v=1-0 line at 2.12 micron
and extends over a total length of about ~0.4 pc. The driving source is
optically invisible and has near-infrared colors and a spectral energy
distribution consistent with a Class I source with an estimated
luminosity of 6 L_sun.
Two Herbig-Haro objects are seen in H alpha images located close to the
positions of maximum H2 emission.
