Scientific paper

We have discovered an extended, highly-collimated, bipolar jet in He2-90, an object long classified as a planetary nebula (PN). The discovery images (obtained with WFPC2/HST) show that the morphology of He2-90 does not look like that of any known PN, but resembles that of a classical young stellar object (YSO). This appears to be a unique object. We propose to map the jet near the central source using the long-slit, medium resolution mode of STIS. We also propose Chandra X-ray observations (with ACIS-I) to check the association of an EGRET >~mma-ray source which lies in the direction of He2-90.
