Outflows and Massive Stars in the Protocluster IRAS 05358+3543

We present new near-IR H2, CO J = 2-1, and CO J = 3-2 observations to study outflows in the massive star-forming region IRAS 05358+3543. The Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope H2 images and James Clerk Maxwell Telescope CO data cubes of the IRAS 05358 region reveal several new outflows, most of which emerge from the dense cluster of submillimeter cores associated with the Sh 2-233IR NE cluster to the northeast of IRAS 05358. We used Apache Point Observatory JHK spectra to determine line-of-sight velocities of the outflowing material. Analysis of archival Very Large Array cm continuum data and previously published very long baseline interferometry observations reveal a massive star binary as a probable source of one or two of the outflows. We have identified probable sources for six outflows and candidate counterflows for seven out of a total of 11 seen to be originating from the IRAS 05358 clusters. We classify the clumps within Sh 2-233IR NE as an early protocluster and Sh 2-233IR SW as a young cluster, and conclude that the outflow energy injection rate approximately matches the turbulent decay rate in Sh 2-233IR NE.
