Protostars: Jets

Scientific paper

Protostellar jets and molecular outflows are thought to play an essential role in the evolution of young stellar objects (YSOs). In this paper, the classification scheme of YSOs and their outflow phenomena are reviewed focusing our attention on the youngest protostellar objects "Class 0" protostars. Subsequently we report our discovery of a newly ejected, extraordinary compact protostellar jet - a micro jet - from the Class 0 protostar S106 FIR. This source stands unique among all 40 known Class 0 sources in its lack of an extensive molecular outflow. We propose that S106 FIR is an archetype of the youngest evolutionary stage, a protostar observed just after the creation of the protostellar jet.
