Abstract

An unbiased search of molecular outflows within the region of the COHRS survey has identified 157 high-mass outflows from a sample of 770 ATLASGAL clumps with a detection rate of 20\%. The detection rate of outflows increases for clumps with higher Mclump_{clump}, Lbol_{bol}, Lbol_{bol}/Mclump_{clump}, NH2_{H_{2}}, and Tdust_{dust} compared to the clumps with no outflow. The detection rates of the outflow increases from protostellar (8\%) to YSO clump (17\%) and to MSF clump (29\%). The detection rate 26\% for quiescent clump is preliminary, because the sample of quiescent clumps is small. A statistical relation between the outflow and clump masses for our sample is log(Mout/M)=(1.1±0.21)+(0.9±0.07)log(Mclump/M)\log(M_{out}/M_{\bigodot}) = (-1.1\pm0.21) + (0.9\pm0.07)\log(M_{clump}/M_{\bigodot}). The detection rate of outflows and the outflow mass-loss rate show an increase with increasing Mclump_{clump}, Lbol_{bol}, NH2_{H_{2}}, and Tdust_{dust}, which indicates that clumps with outflow with higher parameter values are at a more advanced evolutionary stage. The outflow mechanical force increases with increasing bolometric luminosities. No clear evidence has yet been found that higher mass outflows have different launching conditions than low-mass outflows.
