It has recently been found that models of a radiating bow shock can explain qualitatively the strange emission line profiles observed in some Herbig-Haro (H-H) objects. It is also possible to compare directly the emission line intensity maps predicted from these models with CCD images of H-H objects. Such a comparison between our models and observations of HH 46/47 is presented, showing that the condensation HH 47A may tentatively be identified with a bow shock formed at the “head” of a jet.
