Scientific paper

We present high spatial resolution (4") , fully sampled images obtained with the BIMA interferomter and the NRAO 12m telescope of the outflows in the NGC 2024 FIR 5 and FIR 6 regions. We find a rather complex distribution of molecular outflow emission in the region, and argue that at least three separate sources are driving jet-like molecular outflow. Furthermore, from the positions of the outflow lobes, it seems unlikely that the outflows are driven by the FIR objects, as had been previously thought. Instead we propose that the outflows are driven by jets from faint, as yet undetected low mass stars which are located in the molecular cores adjacent to the FIR objects.
