GOMEZ, L.; RODRIGUEZ, L. F.  y  LOINARD, L.. A one-sided knot ejection at the core of the HH 111 outflow. Rev. mex. astron. astrofis [online]. 2013, vol.49, n.1, pp.79-85. ISSN 0185-1101.

We present an astrometry study of the radio source VLA 1 at the core of the HH 111 outflow using new data (2007) as well as archival observations (1992-1996). All data were taken at 3.6 cm with the Very Large Array in its most extended (A) configuration. The source VLA 1 has undergone a dramatic morphological change, showing a one-sided knot ejection in the 2007 epoch. We also report the detection of a 3.6 cm compact continuum source (VLA 3) located at ( -10.''6, 98.''7) from VLA 1. No significant absolute proper motions were found for VLA 1 and VLA 3 and the upper limits are consistent with those found for (embedded) radio sources in the Orion Nebula. We favor the interpretation that in the continuum at 3.6 cm we are observing two nearly perpendicular jets. HH 111 presents a new case of one-sided jet ejection in a young stellar object. The galactic (or extragalactic) nature of VLA 3 remains unclear.
