Scientific paper

A link between the masses of young stars and the ambient density is proposed, and it is suggested that the strong winds produced by these stars are Alfven driven. Means of correlating masses and ambient density with Alfven flux density are proposed. It is demonstrated that the Alfven-wave-dissipation mechanisms of nonlinear damping, resonant surface damping, and turbulent damping can produce the necessary damping to create the observed protostellar mass outflows.
