Abstract:
We present a catalogue of Molecular Hydrogen emission-line Objects
(MHOs) in outflows from young stars, most of which are deeply
embedded. All objects are identified in the near-infrared lines
of molecular hydrogen, all reside in the Milky Way, and all are
associated with jets or molecular outflows. Objects in both low
and high-mass star forming regions are included. This catalogue
complements the existing database of Herbig-Haro objects; indeed,
for completeness, HH objects that are detected in H2 emission
are included in the MHO catalogue.
Description:
The catalogue contains almost 1000 objects and covers regions on the
sky loosely based on the constellations and associated Giant Molecular
Clouds (Perseus, Orion A, Orion B, Taurus, etc.); full details are
given in the paper. Note also that this catalogue is being maintained
(and updated) at a dedicated, search-able website:
