Infrared sources have been detected at the positions of the Herbig-Haro jet sources HH 30, DG Tau B, and Haro 6-5 B in the Taurus dark cloud complex. The colors of these Herbig-Haro jet sources in the 1-4 micron wavelength range are comparable to those of the dustiest T Tauri stars, while the K magnitudes corrected for likely interstellar extinction are actually somewhat fainter than those of typical T Tauri stars in this region. These observations are consistent with the view that these Herbig-Haro jet sources are low-mass premain-sequence stars. The nebulous T Tauri star Haro 6-5 was also observed and found to show both a large infrared excess and an intrinsic-polarization of about 3 percent in visible light. Thus this star seems to resemble HL Tau and DG Tau, which have been suggested as examples of young stars with circumstellar disks.
