Results are presented of a spectrophotometric study of a young stellar object, GL 2591, at wavelengths covering 2.10 to 2.27 microns, employing the KPNO long-slit cryogenic spectrometer. H2 emission was discovered in this source. A map of the v = 1-0 S(1) emission line shows a bipolar structure extending over 0.9 d (d/2 kpc) pc in an east-west direction roughly centered around GL 2591 IRS, with four bright knotty peaks. Br-gamma emission was detected in this source. A map of the Br-gamma emission line delineates a monopolar jetlike structure emanating over 0.2 d (d/2 kpc)pc from NIRS 1 to the southwest. The map of 2-micron continuum emission shows a multilooplike structure extending predominantly to the west. The dust distribution derived from this continuum map reveals a monopolar shell structure composed of several clumps. The spatial distribution of the H2, Br-gamma and 2-micron continuum emission is consistently explained by an outflow and dust disk model around GL 2591, if this emission is interpreted as shocked gas, ionized, gas, and swept-up dust, respectively, associated with the outflow from GL 2591.
