Description

Herbig-Haro (HH) objects are collision excited nebulae produced by supersonic outflows ejected by young stellar objects (YSOs). Since they are produced during the first few hundred thousand years of the life of a YSO, HH objects mark the approximate location of recent star formation. Outflows from YSOs may inject sufficient kinetic energy into the surrounding gas to alter the properties of the host cloud, perhaps even stopping further star formation and disrupting the cloud.

In 1996  the discovery of over 20 groups of new Herbig-Haro (HH) objects in the NGC 1333 region of the Perseus molecular cloud, including some highly collimated jets, was reported.
