Scientific paper

With this proposal we want to explore the role of X-rays in the formation and evolution of protostellar jets. We have just completed a detailed Chandra study of a collimated jet from a newborn star, L1551 IRS5, and found strong X-ray emission near the base of the jet. This result adds a new dimension to our understanding of protostellar jets, demonstrating that the jet launch and collimation region contains high-temperature X-ray emitting plasma which was unknown from low frequency studies. We now propose to follow up on this result by studying 4 protostellar jets from sources at very early evolutionary stages. Their detection, or non-detection, will pose new constraints on our understanding of jet launch and collimation.
