Abstract:
L988 is a large (∼0.5°x0.7°) dark cloud complex at about 600pc
that contains several bright pre-main-sequence objects (such as
V1331 Cyg and LkHα 321), but this paper deals in detail only
with a small region on its eastern edge, near the HAeBe star
LkHα 324. That star and its distant companion LkHα 324SE
lie at the apex of a V-shaped area apparently excavated from the edge
of L988, and are the brightest members of a small cluster containing
about 50 Hα-emission stars.
Description:
Optical VRCIC images of the L988 cloud were obtained in 1999
October and 2003 November at the f/10 focus of the University of
Hawaii (UH) 2.2m telescope on Mauna Kea. The Hα emission survey
of the L988 cloud was carried out in 2001 July, 2003 August, and 2003
October with the Wide Field Grism Spectrograph (WFGS) at the same
telescope.
