Molecular Hydrogen Outflows in W51

Abstract

We present the results of a deep search for the molecular hydrogen shock fronts associated with young stellar outflows in the giant molecular cloud and massive star forming region W51. A total of 14 outflows were identified, and a few of these were studied in detail with high-resolution imaging and spectroscopy.
