We present high angular resolution, high sensitivity 8.46 GHz (3.6 cm) radio continuum observations made toward the core of the HH~92 outflow with the Very Large Array in 2002-2003 and with the Expanded Very Large Array in 2011. We detect a group of three compact sources distributed in a region 2$$ in extension and discuss their nature. We conclude that one of the objects (VLA 1) is the exciting source of the giant outflow associated with HH~92. In the case of HH~34 we present new 43.3 GHz (7 mm) observations that reveal the presence of a structure associated with the exciting source and elongated perpendicular to the highly collimated optical jet in the region. We propose that this 7 mm source is a circumstellar disk with radius of $sim$80 AU and mass of $sim$0.21 $M_odot$.

HH 175 is an isolated Herbig-Haro object seen towards the B35 cloud in the lambda Ori region. We use deep Subaru 8m interference filter images and Spitzer images to show that HH 175 is a terminal shock in a large collimated outflow from the nearby embedded source IRAS 05417+0907. The body of the eastern outflow lobe is hidden by a dense ridge of gas. The western outflow breaks out of the front of the cometary-shaped B35 cloud, carrying cloud fragments along, which are optically visible due to photoionization by the massive lambda Ori stars. The total extent of the bipolar outflow is 13.7 arcmin, which at the adopted distance of 415 pc corresponds to a projected dimension of 1.65 pc. The embedded source IRAS 05417+0907 is located on the flow axis approximately midway between the two lobes, and near-infrared images show it to be a multiple system of 6 sources, with a total luminosity of 31 Lsun. Millimeter maps in CO, 13CO, and C18O show that the B35 cloud is highly structured with multiple cores, of which the one that spawned IRAS 05417+0907 is located at the apex of B35. It is likely that the embedded source is the result of compression by an ionization-shock front driven by the lambda Ori OB stars.
We present a comparison between the time-evolution over the past $sim 20$ years of the radio continuum and H$alpha$ emission of HH~1 and 2. We find that the radio continuum and the H$alpha$ emission of both objects show very similar trends, with HH~1 becoming fainter and HH~2 brightening quite considerably (about a factor of 2). We also find that the $F_{rm Halpha}/F_{ff}$ (H$alpha$ to free-free continuum) ratio of HH~1 and 2 has higher values than the ones typically found in planetary nebulae (PNe) which we interpret as an indication that the H$alpha$ and free-free emission of HH~1/2 is produced in emitting regions with lower temperatures ($sim 2000$~K) than the emission of PNe (with $sim 10^4$~K).
We present subarcsecond angular resolution observations carried out with the Submillimeter Array (SMA) at 880 $mu$m centered at the B0-type protostar GGD27~MM1, the driving source of the parsec scale HH 80-81 jet. We constrain its polarized continuum emission to be $lesssim0.8%$ at this wavelength. Its submm spectrum is dominated by sulfur-bearing species tracing a rotating disk--like structure (SO and SO$_2$ isotopologues mainly), but also shows HCN-bearing and CH$_3$OH lines, which trace the disk and the outflow cavity walls excavated by the HH 80-81 jet. The presence of many sulfurated lines could indicate the presence of shocked gas at the disks centrifugal barrier or that MM1 is a hot core at an evolved stage. The resolved SO$_2$ emission traces very well the disk kinematics and we fit the SMA observations using a thin-disk Keplerian model, which gives the inclination (47$^{circ}$), the inner ($lesssim170$ AU) and outer ($sim950-1300$~AU) radii and the disks rotation velocity (3.4 km s$^{-1}$ at a putative radius of 1700 AU). We roughly estimate a protostellar dynamical mass of 4-18msun. MM2 and WMC cores show, comparatively, an almost empty spectra suggesting that they are associated with extended emission detected in previous low-angular resolution observations, and therefore indicating youth (MM2) or the presence of a less massive object (WMC).
(abridged) The HH 80/81/80N jet extends from the HH 80 object to the recently discovered Source 34 and has a total projected jet size of 10.3 pc, constituting the largest collimated radio-jet system known so far. It is powered by IRAS 18162-2048 associated with a massive young stellar object. We report 6 cm JVLA observations that, compared with previous 6 cm VLA observations carried out in 1989, allow us to derive proper motions of the HH 80, HH 81 and HH 80N radio knots located about 2.5 pc away in projection from the powering source. For the first time, we measure proper motions of the optically obscured HH 80N object providing evidence that HH 81, 80 and 80N are associated with the same radio-jet. We derived tangential velocities of these HH objects between 260 and 350 km/s, significantly lower than those for the radio knots of the jet close to the powering source (600-1400 km/s) derived in a previous work, suggesting that the jet material is slowing down due to a strong interaction with the ambient medium. The HH 80 and HH 80N emission at 6 cm is, at least in part, probably synchrotron radiation produced by relativistic electrons in a magnetic field of 1 mG. If these electrons are accelerated in a reverse adiabatic shock, we estimate a jet total density of $lesssim1000$ cm$^{-3}$. All these features are consistent with a jet emanating from a high mass protostar and make evident its capability of accelerating particles up to relativistic velocities.
We present Atacama Large Millimeter/Submillimeter Array (ALMA) 1.3 mm continuum and C$^{18}$O(2$-$1), N$_2$D$^{+}$(3$-$2), $^{13}$CS(5$-$4), and $^{12}$CO(2$-$1) line sensitive and high angular resolution ($sim$0.3$$) observations of the famous carina pillars and protostellar objects HH 901/902. Our observations reveal for the first time, the bipolar CO outflows and the dusty disks (plus envelopes) that are energizing the extended and irradiated HH objects far from the pillars. We find that the masses of the disks$+$envelopes are about 0.1 M$_odot$ and of the bipolar outflows are between 10$^{-3}$ - 10$^{-4}$ M$_odot$, which suggests that they could be low- or maybe intermediate- mass protostars. Moreover, we suggest that these young low-mass stars are likely embedded Class 0/I protostars with high-accretion rates. We also show the kinematics of the gas in the pillars together with their respective gas masses (0.1 -- 0.2 M$_odot$). We estimate that the pillars will be photo-evaporated in 10$^4$ to 10$^5$ years by the massive and luminous stars located in the Trumpler 14 cluster. Finally, given the short photo-evaporated timescales and that the protostars in these pillars are still very embedded, we suggest that the disks inside of the pillars will be quickly affected by the radiation of the massive stars, forming proplyds, like those observed in Orion.
