FABRY-PEROT IMAGE OF SHOCKED H-2 EMISSION IN IC-443

We obtained an H-2 1-0 S(1) image of the south-east ridge in the super nova remnant IC 443 by using a Fabry-Perot imager. The H-2 emitting re gion was resolved into many clumps which had not been seen by previous observations with larger beams. The H-2 image was compared with a 21- cm H I map in order to investigate the H-2 excitation mechanism. Altho ugh the H-2 emitting area roughly overlaps the H I area, no one-to-one correlation between the peaks of H-2 and H I is found. This morpholog y indicates that although the H I 21-cm line is due to molecular disso ciation by J-shocks, the H-2 emission peaks are caused by C-shocks in dense clumps. Consequently, the coexistence of C-shocks and J-shocks i s suggested to be present at the molecular ridge of IC 443.
