Multiepoch Radio Observations of the Exciting Sources of HH 212 and HH 119

We present high angular resolution (- 0.``3) Very Large Array observationsat 3.5 cm toward the regions of the exciting sources of two Herbig-Haro systems,namely, HH 212 in Orion and HH 119 in B335. The observations were made at threedifferent epochs to search for possible fast time variations in the...

Sumario:We present high angular resolution (- 0.``3) Very Large Array observationsat 3.5 cm toward the regions of the exciting sources of two Herbig-Haro systems,namely, HH 212 in Orion and HH 119 in B335. The observations were made at threedifferent epochs to search for possible fast time variations in the sources (on a scaleof one week to one month). In HH 212 we detected, averaging the observations ofthe three epochs, a faint object, at the expected position for the exciting source ofthe HH system. Comparison with other radio observations indicates that this sourceexhibits considerable time variation on a scale of years. In B335 we detected at eachepoch the source previously reported by other authors and our results suggest thatthis object, a thermal radio jet, is variable on timescales of a month. We discusspossible explanations for this fast variability.
