The Rho Ophiuchi source WL 16 is the second Young Stellar Object (YSO) found to have infrared CO emission bands. IRAS observations show that WL 16 is far less luminous (∼ 14 L⊙) than the first source of infrared CO emission, BN (> 5000 L⊙). Also in contrast to BN, the CO emission from WL 16 represents a significant fraction of the total luminosity. The 2.3 μm first overtone CO emission bands were observed with the Steward Observatory Fourier Transform Spectrometer at the 2.3 m telescope.
