Up: Outflow sources in the region


2 Observations

Between November 18-26, 1988 we used the 15-m SEST to observe 12CO(1-0), 13CO(1-0), C18O(1-0) and CS(2-1) towards seven sources. Towards one source we observed only 12CO(1-0) and 13CO(1-0) and towards one other source only CS(2-1) was observed.

We used a Schottky receiver in combination with a high-resolution AOS (channel width 43.3 kHz). We used frequency switching with an offset of 15 or 20 MHz, depending on the line width. Maps in 12CO covering the outflow region were made on a raster with spacing of 20 $^{\prime \prime }$ near the IRAS source, and 40 $^{\prime \prime }$ in the outer parts of the map. Due to time constraints we have 13CO data at only nine positions on a 40 $^{\prime \prime }$ raster for each source, centered on the IRAS PSC position. C18O and CS were traced on a 20 $^{\prime \prime }$ raster until the emission vanished in the noise. A low-order polynomial baseline was subtracted from the spectra before folding. The pointing was regularly checked on SiO masers; its rms uncertainty is 7 $^{\prime \prime }$. The observed sources are listed in Table 1. It gives the source name in Col. 1; the position in equatorial and galactic coordinates in Cols. 2-5. The velocity of the main component is in Col. 6. In Cols. 7 and 8 are the kinematic distance (except for two sources for which a photometric distance is known) and bolometric luminosity (from WB89). Associated sources are shown in Col. 9. The observed transitions and frequencies are given in Cols. 1 and 2 of Table 2. The beam size of the SEST (Col. 3) is between 46 $^{\prime \prime }$ at 115 GHz and 54 $^{\prime \prime }$ at 98 GHz. In Col. 4 we give the rms noise level in the spectra. All intensities in this paper are on the $T_{\rm {A}}^*$ scale. When deriving cloud masses and outflow parameters, we corrected for the main beam efficiency of the SEST (0.70 at all frequencies observed here).
