  1. DIAGNOSIS FROM JET OBSERVATIONS: • KINEMATICS (v field: velocity components of the jet knots) • a1) RADIAL VELOCITY line shifts: spectroscopy • a2) TANG. VELOCITY “proper motions”: imaging • PHYSICAL CONDITIONS : excitation, density, ionization fraction…. Appropriate flux line ratios: spectroscopy (quite rough estimation from imaging in different filters, however) • A+B) “simultaneously: 3D spectroscopy:

  2. IMAGING: WHAT CAN BE DERIVED FROM? Obtain images through “narrow-band” ( FWHM ~ 50 A) filters of the HHs field: HHs emission is mainly “pure line emission” (except near the source) use filters centered on brighter characteristic jet emission lines, eg, Optical: Ha, [SII] red doublet, [OIII] (less used: extinction and excitation conditions..) Infrared: [FeII], H2 Morphology: “history” of the mass-ejection jet/environment interaction (indirect) evidence on the nature of the jet source and ejection mechanisms spatial distribution of the physical conditions through the jet… Kinematics: VT, from “proper motions”

  3. NARROW-BAND (OPTICAL) FILTERS Commonly used for HHs (from NOT webpage): “Ha” filter [SII] “red” filter ([SII] 6717, 6731 A) (6563+part of [NII] 6584 A)

  4. Narrow-band (NIR) filters Commonly used for HHs imaging (from ING webpage) H2 2.12 mm (K band) [FeII] 1.64 mm (H band)

  5. KINEMATICS:TANGENTIAL VELOCITY OF THE KNOTS (VT) Knots of the jets appear “displaced” relative to the field stars when images obtained at different epochs are compared. By measuring these “displacements” between two epochs, the VT can be obtained (for a knwon distance). HST high-spatial resolution images have shown the “displacement” of the knot structures with time, with high degree of detai,l in several wellknown HH jets.

  13. Proper-motions from ground-based images: two examples Summary: 1) Obtain several images of the jet field, with appropriate time spacing, through narrow-band filters covering emission from [SII] or Ha (strong emission lines at visible wavelengths). 2) Convert all the images on to a common reference system, using positions of field stars. . Highly recommended: reference stars, well distributed around jet (not always possible, extinction!) . Different images from different instruments: care with their spatial scale! 3) Identify each of the knots of the jet in all the images Care! Some structures may have changed with time 4) Evaluate the (spatial) displacement of each of the knots, with respect to the (fixed) reference star system, during the time elapsed between two images n pixel/yr  n arcsec/yr : PROPER MOTION (+ distance) VT (kms-1)
