High Resolution Observations of CO(3-2) in Haro 2: Cool Molecular Outflows of a Ly$\alpha$ Emitter

Haro 2 is a blue compact dwarf galaxy and the closest (at 21Mpc) known $Ly\alpha$ emitter. UV and optical observations have found Haro 2 to be immersed in shells of partly ionized gas expanding at $\sim 200$km/s. Observations of CO(2-1) (Becket et al 2020; Paper 1) with moderate ($2^{\mathrm{\prime }\mathrm{\prime }}$) resolution discovered a large-scale one-sided outflow associated with a soft X-ray bubble and apparently driven by the young star clusters created in the recent starburst. We present here SMA observations of CO(3-2) with ${1.1}^{\mathrm{\prime }\mathrm{\prime }}$ resolution in Haro 2. The opposite-side component of the large molecular outflow is detected lying in the direction of the fast ionized outflow; it is very confined in area. An additional outflow is apparent in the CO(3-2); it is south-east of the galaxy in a region holding weak star formation and a moderate-luminosity hard X-ray source. All the molecular outflow and filament velocities are within $\lesssim \pm 50$km/s of the systemic velocity of the galaxy.
