摘要
We report the detection in Ly alpha of a collimated, bipolar outflow (HH 409) associated with the 1.5-10 Myr old Herbig Ae star HD 163296. A blueshifted jet is visible in Ly alpha and Si III extending toward the southwest for at least 6" (725 AU). The combination of low line-of-sight extinction and relative faintness of the central star near Ly alpha enables us to trace the jet to within an unprecedented 0".06 (7.3 AU) of HD 163296. The jet has a radial velocity of 335-380 km s(-1), which is common for protostellar outflows. We also detected redshifted Ly alpha emission southwest of the star that may be due to infall or a poorly collimated wind component. If the age of the star is correct, then protostellar outflows may last up to 10 times longer than previously believed.
