A new star-forming region in Canis Major

A new southern star-formation region, located at an estimated distance of ∼1.5 kpc in the Lynds 1664 dark cloud in Canis Major, is described. Lynds 1664 contains several compact star clusters, small stellar groups and young stars associated with reflection nebulae. Narrow-band H α and [S ii] images...

Description
Summary:A new southern star-formation region, located at an estimated distance of ∼1.5 kpc in the Lynds 1664 dark cloud in Canis Major, is described. Lynds 1664 contains several compact star clusters, small stellar groups and young stars associated with reflection nebulae. Narrow-band H α and [S ii] images obtained with the 4-m telescope at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory reveal more than 20 new Herbig–Haro objects associated with several protostellar outflows.
