Scientific paper

We present high spatial resolution (4"), fully sampled images of the CO J = 1-0 emission from the outflows in the NGC 2024 FIR 5 and FIR 6 regions, obtained by combining observations made with the BIMA interferometer and the NRAO 12 m telescope. We find a rather complex spatial distribution of molecular outflow emission in this region and argue that at least three separate sources are driving jetlike molecular outflows. Furthermore, from the positions and orientations of the outflow lobes, it seems unlikely that the outflows are driven by the FIR objects, as had been previously thought. Instead, we propose that the outflows are driven by jets from faint, as yet undetected, low-mass stars that are located in molecular cores adjacent to the FIR objects.
