Michelle Borkin (Harvard IIC), Héctor Arce (Yale), & Alyssa Goodman (CfA/IIC) AAS 211th Meeting - January 11, 2008 A Survey of Outflows in Perseus

A Survey of Velocity Features in Perseus Visualize 12 CO data cube in 3D Slicer Mark high velocity points in 3D space, and export to other astronomical software Identify outflows and calculate statistics

Outflow Identification Velocity DEC RA-DEC integrated map of 12 CO RA B5 Region of Perseus High velocity points

Perseus Outflows Initial results: 32 new potential outflows 12 CO Perseus Red Shifted points Blue Shifted points HH Objects IRAS Sources Known Outflow Sources New outflows Known outflows Many small known outflows Outflow extensions Borkin, Arce, & Goodman 2008 in prep 9 potential new shells New shells 6 known outflows extended

Preliminary Numbers for Perseus MassMomentumKinetic Energy Outflows ~90 M~125 M km/s~3255 x ergs Shells ~1240 M~1890 M km/s~66290 x ergs (Total mass for Perseus ~ 2.3 x 10 4 M ) Borkin, Arce, & Goodman 2008 in prep
