Scientific paper

A fast (+ or - 70 km/s), highly collimated CO bipolar outflow has been recently detected in the L1448 molecular cloud. No optical or infrared object has been found near the center of the outflow, implying a bolometric luminosity less than 3 solar luminosities for the exciting source. The VLA detected, at 2-cm wavelength, a radio continuum source at the center of this outflow. This radio source may be the exciting source of the bipolar outflow. The spectral index of the main component is alpha of about 0.2, similar to that expected for a thermal jet. The second component has a spectral index of alpha of about 1.0, consistent with that of a partially thick H II region.
