Search for HH-Objects and Emission-Line Stars in Star Forming Regions. I. The Lynds 1340 Dark Cloud
Abstract
Spectroscopic and photometric observations of objects embedded in the L1340 dark cloud are reported. An entire series of HH-objects in the RN07 region was discovered, including new ones that form two or three flows. It is suspected that several cases of HH emission are included. In addition, 14 emission stars, of which 11 are new, were found in this region. Most of these stars are localized inside the RN07 nebula which, therefore, encompasses a compact cluster of very young stars. Other nebulous objects inside the L1340 cloud, many of which are associated with IR sources, are described. As a whole, this cloud represents an extremely active star forming region.
