L1448C(N) is a young protostar in Perseus, driving an outflow and an extremely high-velocity (EHV) molecular jet. We present multi-epoch observations of SiO $J = 8-7$, CO $J = 3-2$ lines, and 345 GHz dust continuum toward L1448C(N) in 2006,…
Variable accretion has been well studied in evolved stages of low-mass stars formation. However, the accretion history in the initial phases of star formation is still a seldom studied topic. The outflows and jets emerging from protostellar…
HH 211 is a highly collimated jet originating from a nearby young Class 0 protostar. Here is a follow-up study of the jet with our previous observations at unprecedented resolution up to ~ 0.3" in SiO (J=8-7), CO (J=3-2), and SO…
Jets and disk winds arise from materials with excess angular momentum ejected from the accretion disks in forming stars. How these structures are launched and how they impact the gas within the innermost regions of these objects remains…
We present near infrared images in H2 at 2.12um of the HH 7/11 outflow and its driving source SVS 13 taken with HST NICMOS 2 camera, as well as archival Ha and [SII] optical images obtained with the WFPC2 camera. The NICMOS high angular…
We present results from our SMA observations and data analyses of the SMA archival data of the Class I protostar IRAS 04169+2702. The high-resolution (~0.5") $^{13}$CO (3-2) image cube shows a compact ($r$ ~< 100 au) structure with a…
Jets from young stars represent one of the most striking signposts of star formation. The phenomenon has been researched for over two decades and there is now general agreement that such jets are generated as a by-product of accretion; most…
The removal of angular momentum from protostellar systems drives accretion onto the central star and may drive the dispersal of the protoplanetary disk. Winds and jets can contribute to removing angular momentum from the disk, though the…
Using three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamics simulations, the driving of protostellar jets is investigated in different star-forming cores with the parameters of magnetic field strength and mass accretion rate. Powerful high-velocity jets…
We present 1.3-mm subarcsecond SMA observations of the prototypical Class 0 protostar VLA1623. We report the detection of 1.3-mm continuum emission both from the central protostellar component VLA1623 and two additional sources, Knot-A and…
Jets are ubiquitous in the star-forming process since accretion is intimately associated with outflow. Weak free-free continuum emission in the centimeter domain is associated with these jets. Observations in the cm range are most useful to…
We report high resolution (1-2 arcsec) imaging of the CO 2-1 line and the millimeter continuum in the proto-planetary nebula He 3-1475. The observations reveal the presence of a massive (~0.6 M_sun} envelope of molecular gas around the…
We present observations of the optical ``moving lines'' in spectra of the Galactic relativistic jet source SS433 spread over a twenty year baseline from 1979 to 1999. The red/blue-shifts of the lines reveal the apparent precession of the…
We present the first interferometric CO(J=3-2) observations (beam size of 3.9"x1.6" or 160pc x 65pc) with the Submillimeter Array (SMA) toward the center of the Seyfert 2 galaxy M51. The image shows a strong concentration at the nucleus and…
To date, PMN J2134-0419 (at a redshift z=4.33) is the second most distant quasar known with a milliarcsecond-scale morphology permitting direct estimates of the jet proper motion. Based on two-epoch observations, we constrained its radio…
We report findings from the first set of data in a current survey to establish conclusively whether jets from young stars rotate. We observed the bi-polar jets from the T Tauri stars TH28 and RW Aur, and the blue-shifted jet from T Tauri…
We present results of the second phase of our near-ultraviolet investigation into protostellar jet rotation using HST/STIS. We obtain long-slit spectra at the base of five T Tauri jets to determine if there is a difference in radial…
In conjunction with a previous southern-hemisphere work, we present the largest radio survey of jets from massive protostars to date with high-resolution, ($\sim 0.04^{\prime\prime}$) VLA observations towards two subsamples of massive…
The main instabilities induced by rotation in stellar interiors are described. We derive from first principles the general equation describing the transport of the angular momentum. The case of the transport of the chemical species is also…
We attempt to understand the driving mechanism of a macrospicule and its relationship with a coronal jet. We study the dynamics of a macrospicule and an associated coronal jet captured by multi-spacecraft observations. Doppler velocities…
