Turbulent Mixing Layers in Herbig-Haro and Embedded H2 Jets
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 May 2016
Abstract
Outflows arising from young stellar objects interact with their surrounding medium through different mechanisms, such as shocks, turbulence and /or entrainment. These two last mechanisms have recently begun to be fully developed in an effort to understand the coupling of the stellar jet gas (mostly atomic) with the molecular environment. Observationally a number of objects are being studied in the near infrared and millimeter wavelengths to map the warm (H2) and cold (CO) molecular gas, respectively. In this paper we discuss some of the properties in the near infrared of various embedded jets in the context of turbulent entrainment.
