Scientific paper

Flux-calibrated imagery in five emission-line and four narrow-band continuum filters are presented for three classical Herbig-Haro (HH) objects, HH 7-11, HH 12, and HH 34. 1.64 micron forbidden Fe II emission is detected in all three objects whose intensity is typically 20 percent. This line should be an excellent tracer of shocked ionized gas in highly obscured regions. Extinction appears to be unimportant in determining the morphology of these HH object systems. No near-IR continuum emission was detected from any of the HH objects, implying that these regions do not contain embedded stars. At positions where the flow terminates against a large obstacle, there are significant offsets between the shocked flow material and the shocked ambient medium.
