3 light years “Preponderance of the Evidence” Geometry of the “HH” knots Morphology of Molecular Outflow & Star-Forming “Blob” “Wiggle” of the Jet Goodman & Arce 2004 Figure 1 PV Ceph: The Movie

See Furlan et al. 2003? New measurements say no How often does this happen? Direct Proper Motion • RW Aur 16 km s-1, Jones & Herbig 1979 • BN object w.r.t. “I” 50 km s-1, Plambeck et al. 1995 • IRAS 16293-2422 30 km s-1, Loinard 2002 • T-Tau Sb 20 km s-1, Loinard et al. 2003 Deduced from Outflow Morphology • B5 IRS1~10 km s-1, Bally et al. 1996* • Jets in NGC 1333 & Orion clusters ~10 km s-1,Bally & Reipurth 2001* • PV Ceph 20 km s-1, Goodman & Arce 2004 *but the possibility of motion was dismissed, or not emphasized!
