Description
The dark cloud Lynds 723 (L723) is a low-mass star-forming region where one of the few known cases of a quadrupolar CO outflow has been reported. Two recent works have found that the radio continuum source VLA 2, towards the centre of the CO outflow, is actually a multiple system of young stellar objects (YSOs). We imaged a field of 5'x 5' centred on HH 223, which includes the whole region of the quadrupolar CO outflow with narrow-band filters centred on the [FeII] 1.644mum and H_2_ 2.122mum lines, together with off-line H_c_ and K_c_ filters. Our aim is to study L723 in the near-infrared and look for line-emission nebulae associated with the optical and CO outflows.
