Scientific paper

A peculiar Herbig-Haro object, named HH 131, has been discovered by low-dispersion slit spectroscopy and narrowband CCD imaging. It lies well outside the dark cloud Lynds (L) 1641 toward the southwest. Accordingly, it has no associated molecular cloud, but it may be related to a cloud of atomic hydrogen. Its morphology is also unique, showing a fairly high degree of axisymmetric structure as well as a sort of double helix. No likely candidates for its energy source have been found in the IRAS Point Source Catalog, or by slit spectroscopy and an objective-prism Schmidt survey of nearby stars.
