Using the 100-m antenna of the Max-Planck-Institut for Radioastronomie in Effelsberg, FRG, the authors have observed with 40arcsec resolution the region around the Herbig-Haro 1 and 2 objects in the (1,1) and (2,2) inversion lines of NH3. The integrated intensity peaks at a position equidistant from the objects HH 1 and 2 that coincides exactly with the central exciting source found by Pravdo et al. (1985). The emission region is elongated with its major axis roughly perpendicular to the line joining the HH 1 and 2 objects. By analyzing the kinematics, it is concluded that the structure is a relatively smooth, slowly rotating, and expanding (or infalling) disk seen nearly edge-on. The disk radial motion is resolved and occurs at a radius of ≡ 0.15 pc, and the center of the disk appears to be evacuated. This situation is consistent with the absence of centralized heating.
