Scientific paper

High-resolution near-infrared imaging of a Herbig Ae/Be star LkHα 198 has been carried out using the coronagraphic camera CIAO (Coronagraphic Imager with Adaptive Optics) on the Subaru 8.2m Telescope. Obtained images resolve the infrared companion (IRC) and an associated reflection nebula. The IRC exhibits near-infrared colors suggestive of a class I-like source. Faint nebulae associated with outflow activity and a bright flattened envelope are also found around the primary. Our observations provide morphological evidence of the IRC being an outflow source as well as the primary star.
