We present an analysis of four epochs of H$alpha$ and [S II] $lambdalambda$ 6716/6731 HST images of HH 1. For determining proper motions we explore a new method based on analysis of spatially degraded images obtained convolving the images with wavelet functions of chosen widths. With this procedure we are able to generate maps of proper motion velocities along and across the outflow axis, as well as (angularly integrated) proper motion velocity distributions. From the four available epochs, we find the time evolution of the velocities, intensities and spatial distribution of the line emission. We find that over the last two decades HH 1 shows a clear acceleration. Also, the H$alpha$ and [S II] intensities have first dropped, and then recovered in the more recent (2014) images. Finally, we show a comparison between the two available HST epochs of [O III] $lambda$ 5007 (1994 and 2014), in which we see a clear drop in the value of the [O III]/H$alpha$ ratio.

We have analyzed four epochs of H$alpha$ and [S~II] HST images of the HH~1/2 outflow (covering a time interval from 1994 to 2014) to determine proper motions and emission line fluxes of the knots of HH~2. We find that our new proper motions agree sur
prisingly well with the motions measured by Herbig & Jones (1981), although there is partial evidence for a slight deceleration of the motion of the HH~2 knots from 1945 to 2014. We also measure the time-variability of the H$alpha$ intensities and the [S~II]/H$alpha$ line ratios, and find that knots H and A have the largest intensity variabilities (in $1994to 2014$). Knot H (which now dominates the HH~2 emission) has strengthened substantially, while keeping an approximately constant [S~II]/H$alpha$ ratio. Knot A has dramatically faded, and at the same time has had a substantial increase in its [S~II]/H$alpha$ ratio. Possible interpretations of these results are discussed.
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).
HH 223 is a knotty, wiggling nebular emission of ~30 length found in the L723 star-forming region. It lies projected onto the largest blueshifted lobe of the cuadrupolar CO outflow powered by a low-mass YSO system embedded in the core of L723. We ana
lysed the physical conditions and kinematics along HH 223 with the aim of disentangling whether the emission arises from shock-excited, supersonic gas characteristic of a stellar jet, or is only tracing the wall cavity excavated by the CO outflow. We performed long-slit optical spectroscopy along HH 223, crossing all the bright knots (A to E) and part of the low-brightness emission nebula (F filament). One spectrum of each knot, suitable to characterize the nature of its emission, was obtained. The physical conditions and the radial velocity of the HH 223 emission along the slits were also sampled at smaller scale (0.6) than the knot sizes. {The spectra of all the HH 223 knots appear as those of the intermediate/high excitation Herbig-Haro objects. The emission is supersonic, with blueshifted peak velocities ranging from -60 to -130 km/s. Reliable variations in the kinematics and physical conditions at smaller scale that the knot sizes are also found. The properties of the HH 223 emission derived from the spectroscopy confirm the HH nature of the object, the supersonic optical outflow most probably also being powered by the YSOs embedded in the L723 core.
We present new H$alpha$ and H$beta$ images of the HH~1/2 system, and we find that the H$alpha$/H$beta$ ratio has high values in ridges along the leading edges of the HH~1 bow shock and of the brighter condensations of HH~2. These ridges have H$alpha$
/H$beta=4to 6$, which is consistent with collisional excitation from the $n=1$ to the $n=3$ and 4 levels of hydrogen in a gas of temperatures $T=1.5to 10times 10^4$~K. This is therefore the first direct proof that the collisional excitation/ionization region of hydrogen right behind Herbig-Haro shock fronts is detected.
We present 70 and 160 micron Herschel science demonstration images of a field in the Orion A molecular cloud that contains the prototypical Herbig-Haro objects HH 1 and 2, obtained with the Photodetector Array Camera and Spectrometer (PACS). These ob
servations demonstrate Herschels unprecedented ability to study the rich population of protostars in the Orion molecular clouds at the wavelengths where they emit most of their luminosity. The four protostars previously identified by Spitzer 3.6-40 micron imaging and spectroscopy are detected in the 70 micron band, and three are clearly detected at 160 microns. We measure photometry of the protostars in the PACS bands and assemble their spectral energy distributions (SEDs) from 1 to 870 microns with these data, Spitzer spectra and photometry, 2MASS data, and APEX sub-mm data. The SEDs are fit to models generated with radiative transfer codes. From these fits we can constrain the fundamental properties of the protostars. We find luminosities in the range 12-84 L_sun and envelope densities spanning over two orders of magnitude. This implies that the four protostars have a wide range of envelope infall rates and evolutionary states: two have dense, infalling envelopes, while the other two have only residual envelopes. We also show the highly irregular and filamentary structure of the cold dust and gas surrounding the protostars as traced at 160 microns.
