HST/STIS observations of the RW Aurigae bipolar jet: mapping the physical parameters close to the source

Stanislav Melnikov, Jochen Eislöffel, Francesca Bacciotti +2

We present the results of new spectral diagnostic investigations applied to high-resolution long-slit spectra of the RW Aur bipolar jet obtained with HST/STIS. The spectra include…

A HST study of the environment of the Herbig Ae/Be star LkHa 233 and its bipolar jet

Stanislav Yu. Melnikov, Jens Woitas, Jochen Eislöffel +3

We present the results of HST/STIS and WFPC2 observations of LkHa 233 and its environment. LkHa233 is a Herbig Ae/Be star with a collimated bipolar jet. We investigate optical forb…

Further Indications of Jet Rotation in New Ultraviolet and Optical HST/STIS Spectra

Deirdre Coffey, Francesca Bacciotti, Thomas P. Ray +2

We present survey results which suggest rotation signatures at the base of T-Tauri jets. Observations were conducted with the Hubble Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph at optical…

The young, active binary star EK Draconis

B. König, E. W. Guenther, J. Woitas +1

EK Dra (HD 129333) is a young, active, nearby star that is orbited by a low mass companion. By combining new speckle observations with old and new radial velocity measurements we f…

Jet rotation: launching region, angular momentum balance and magnetic properties in the bipolar outflow from RW Aur

Jens Woitas, Francesca Bacciotti, Thomas P. Ray +3

Using STIS on board the HST we have obtained a spectroscopic map of the bipolar jet from RW Aur. We find signatures of rotation within the first 300 AU of the jet (1.''5 from RW Au…

Rotation of Jets from Young Stars: New Clues from the Hubble Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph

Deirdre Coffey, Francesca Bacciotti, Jens Woitas +2

We report findings from the first set of data in a current survey to establish conclusively whether jets from young stars rotate. We observed the bi-polar jets from the T Tauri sta…
