摘要
We report on the discovery of an optical jet - Rosette HH2 - in the RosetteNebula. The jet system bears unique features for residing at the center of a giant HII region, andits energy source is visible with apparently very low extinction along the line of sight. Unlikemost other Herbig-Haro jets, this jet indicates a high-excitation origin, and its extended portionshows a seemingly intact structure, instead of normally a shocked working surface, which isattributed to photoablation.
