Molecular Hydrogen Emission in Embedded Flows
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 May 2016
Abstract
This overview of recent observations of molecular hydrogen (H2) in outflows from young stars discusses the morphology, the excitation and the kinematics of the H2 gas in these flows. A comparison between the H2 and CO outflows will lead us to the conclusion that highly-collimated jets may drive the latter. We also discuss the mechanisms which can entrain ambient molecular gas into the jet flow.
