The IRS 5 stellar object and its associated bipolar gas outflow in the molecular cloud L 1551 were observed in the 2.6 mm J = 1-0 (C-12)O and (C-13)O lines, in order to investigate the velocity field and its relation to the Herbig-Haro objects. It was found that the structure of the high-velocity gas is indicative of a shell, in agreement with the results of Snell and Schloerb (1985) and Moriarty-Schieven et al. (1987). A study of the energetics within the blue-shifted outflow yielded an energy sufficient to explain the high FIR luminosity reported by Edwards et al. (1986). The velocity structure obtained for the outflow very close to IRS 5 is consistent with a large rotating gas disk such as that proposed by Kaifu et al. (1984).
