Image of the Mon R2 star‐forming region in the 1–0 S(1) emission line of H2 at 2.12 μm, obtained with the WFCAM at UKIRT. The circles indicate the positions of the newly found H2 jets. The Herbig‐Haro object HH 866 is visible in the northwest corner of the image. The small reflection nebula near the eastern edge of the image is GGD 11 (Gyulbudaghian et al. 1978). Newly found small reflection nebulae are indicated by squares. Superposed on this image are the lowest contours of the blueshifted (−2 to 6 km s−1, solid line) and redshifted (14–22 km s−1, dashed line) CO emission from the map by Wolf et al. (1990).
