Optical jets, and collimated outflows, are now recognized as a common phenomena associated with young stars (Mundt 1985, Strom et al. 1986). Presented here are the results of new CCD imaging and spatially resolved spectroscopy for ten such objects. Using these and previously published data on twenty known jets, we compiled a set of observational criteria describing the phenomena. From this compilation we addressed several physical questions pertaining to the nature of collimated outflows associated with young stars.
