Scientific paper

Comparisons of the present interferometer mapping mosaic for CO J = 1 to 0 of the blue outflow lobe of L1551 indicates that the strongest of the earlier emission regions have been resolved as filamentary structure. A continuous velocity gradient is noted across the brightest of these filamentary structures. The 1-2 x 10 exp 16 cm deconvolved FWHM of this feature, in combination with the velocity gradient, indicates that the emission originates within an MHD shock front, perhaps due to the interaction of a stellar wind with dense ambient material.
