Scientific paper

Direct narrow band images of the HH46/47 optical jet taken with the Planetary Camera will be used to test predictions from theoretical models. We propose to take advantage of the high angular resolution provided by this camera to study the morphology of the knots along the body of this jet in detail. We will completely resolve most of them and study their spacing and changes in their morphology at different wavelengths. Likewise, these observations will give information about the excitation in individual knots, and gradients along the jet. A comparison between the results of these observations and those obtained from numerical simulations will provide a new and unique insight on the origin of the knotty structure that will help to discriminate among the wide range of proposed theoretical possibilities.
