LL065 also shows a clear red wing from with emission strongest close to the source but extending to the NW of the map.
Star formation in Perseus - V. Outflows detected by HARP
The spectra show a weak blueshifted wing which is classified as an outflow only by the low-level criteria.
Star formation in Perseus - V. Outflows detected by HARP
The weak blueshifted wing at the position of LL081 could be due to this outflow; certainly, nothing in the morphology in the map convinces that LL081 is driving a separate flow.
Star formation in Perseus - V. Outflows detected by HARP
Neither HRF59 or HRF72 contain driving sources (HRF72 shows no evidence for wings), nor is there another obvious source, from the location of the peaks.
