	Jet Bow Shocks and Clumpy Shells of H_2 Emission in the Young Stellar Outflow Cepheus A (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Additional wide field images show that the H_2 emission is distributed primarily to the east and west of the luminous cluster of massive stars that marks the center of Cepheus A. The molecular emission to the east appears as an irregular jet, while that to the west concentrates in shells.
		In Cepheus A, shocks appear to be responsible for most of the H_2 emission, though fluorescence could excite a diffuse bow-shaped feature that has a bright optical counterpart.
		We propose that wakes from the bow shocks in the HH objects heat and accelerate the H_2 into the observed shells, while the molecular clumps form as a result of cooling instabilities behind the bow shocks.
