HH 110 is a rather peculiar Herbig-Haro object in Orion that originates due to the deflection of another jet ( HH 270 ) by a dense molecular clump , instead of being directly ejected from a young stellar object .
Here we present new results on the kinematics and physical conditions of HH 110 based on Integral Field Spectroscopy .
The 3D spectral data cover the whole outflow extent ( \sim 4.5 arcmin , \simeq 0.6 pc at a distance of 460 pc ) in the spectral range 6500–7000 Å .
We built emission-line intensity maps of H \alpha , [ N ii ] and [ S ii ] and of their radial velocity channels .
Furthermore , we analysed the spatial distribution of the excitation and electron density from [ N ii ] /H \alpha , [ S ii ] /H \alpha , and [ S ii ] 6716/6731 integrated line-ratio maps , as well as their behaviour as a function of velocity , from line-ratio channel maps .
Our results fully reproduce the morphology and kinematics obtained from previous imaging and long-slit data .
In addition , the IFS data revealed , for the first time , the complex spatial distribution of the physical conditions ( excitation and density ) in the whole jet , and their behaviour as a function of the kinematics .
The results here derived give further support to the more recent model simulations that involve deflection of a pulsed jet propagating in an inhomogeneous ambient medium .
The IFS data give richer information than that provided by current model simulations or laboratory jet experiments .
Hence , they could provide valuable clues to constrain the space parameters in future theoretical works .
