Abstract:A census of molecular hydrogen flows across the entire Orion A giant molecular cloud is sought. With this paper we aim to associate each flow with its progenitor and associated molecular core, so that the characteristics of the outflows and outflow sources can be established. We present wide-field near-infrared images of Orion A, obtained with the Wide Field Camera, WFCAM, on the United Kingdom Infrared Telescope. Broad-band K and narrow-band H_2_ 1-0S(1) images of a contiguous ~8 square degree region are compared to mid-IR photometry from the Spitzer Space Telescope and (sub)millimetre dust-continuum ...(more)

Broad-band J, H, K and narrow-band H_2_ 2.122um images of a 1.5{deg}x1.5{deg} field centred on M 42/M 43 were obtained during instrument commissioning on 24 November 2004.
