The molecular environment of S106 IR
Abstract
Millimeter and submillimeter images of the bipolar nebula S106 are presented. The structure of the circumstellar material around the exciting star S106IR is investigated. The previously unresolved 'dust bar' is seen to break up into a number of sources: there is no evidence for a smooth disc about the star. There is a bright, previously undetected far infrared point source in the dust lane which is not detected at 20 micrometers, suggesting it is an extremely embedded object of moderate luminosity which may be a very young protostellar companion to S106 IR.
