AB  - <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title>                  <jats:p>                    The AlF molecule, currently subject to laser cooling and trapping efforts, has the advantage that it can be efficiently produced in a thermochemical reaction between sublimated aluminum trifluoride and aluminum metal. Here we present a series of experiments with continuous molecular beam sources of AlF, utilizing this reaction. We demonstrate a compact AlF molecular beam oven whose total far-field brightness is                    <jats:inline-formula>                      <jats:tex-math>                                              </jats:tex-math>                      <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" overflow="scroll">                        <mml:mrow>                          <mml:mn>5</mml:mn>                          <mml:mo>×</mml:mo>                          <mml:msup>                            <mml:mn>10</mml:mn>                            <mml:mrow>                              <mml:mn>15</mml:mn>                            </mml:mrow>                          </mml:msup>                        </mml:mrow>                      </mml:math>                    </jats:inline-formula>                    molecules per steradian per second at 923 K, just below the melting temperature of aluminum metal.
