ABSTRACT

We have inspected plates of the Southern Hemisphere with the purpose of finding previously unreported nebulous objects. We found 93 objects, of which 62 are associated with IRAS point sources. Some of these objects look like Herbig-Haro objects, while others are cometary nebulae, tight groups of red dwarf stars, and objects resembling small regions of star formation.

Key Words: ISM: HII regions — ISM: Herbig-Haro Objects — Stars: Early-Type — Stars: Flare — Stars: Formation — Surveys

 

RESUMEN

Hemos realizado una inspección de las placas del Hemisferio Sur con el propósito de buscar objetos nebulosos no reportados con anterioridad. Se encontraron 93 objetos, de los cuales 62 están asociados con fuentes puntuales del IRAS. Algunos de estos objetos son similares a objetos Herbig-Haro, mientras que otros son glóbulos cometarios, grupos compactos de estrellas rojas enanas y objetos que semejan pequeñas regiones de estrellas en formación.
