A population of 11 faint, collimated jets has been discovered in the northern part of the L1641 cloud in the region of HH 1/2, HH 34, and the L1641-N cluster. These jets were missed in previous imaging surveys on account of their weak emission, and they were discovered only on deep exposures with the Subaru 8 m telescope. With these new faint jets, the number of HH flows within the area surveyed has doubled. This suggests that collimated jets from young stars may be more common than previously assumed. It is noteworthy that all of the jets are associated with optically visible stars with r magnitudes ranging from 13.8 to 22.0. The driving sources of jets in regions flooded by ultraviolet radiation from nearby OB stars are known to be excavated by photoionization, and in three cases remnant Hα emission envelopes are found associated with the sources, although the more benign environment in the region observed here, about 10 pc distant from the Orion Nebula Cluster, makes the optical visibility of all these sources rather surprising. Such faint jets from visible stars represent either the final vestiges of the outflow phenomenon, or they are triggered by disturbances of the remnant disks, possibly initiated by the orbital evolution of binaries that spiral in to form close binaries. Among the known Hα emission stars within the region surveyed, 8% are found to be associated with jets.
