Scientific paper

CO maps of Orion B made with the FCRAO 14 m telescope have revealed a bipolar molecular jet centered within the region of maximum molecular column density approximately 0arcmin.5 south of the ionization front. The driving source has not yet been discovered, but the jet evidently marks a new area of star formation activity that is younger than the more evolved area to the north. The jet is the most highly collimated one known, and its energy suggests that the source is at least as luminous as an early B star.
