Stars: The fundamental building blocks of the Universe: Massive stars: ~8 to > 100 x mass of Sun Lumnious: 103 to 107 x Sun Short-lived: 3 to 30 million years Rare Moderate mass stars: 2 to 8 x mass of Sun Bright: 10 to 103 x Sun Lifetime: 30 million to ~ 1 billion years Common Low-mass stars: 0.08 to 1 x mass of Sun Dim: 10 to 10-3 x Sun Long-lived: 1 to > 300 billion years ! Very common: 90 % of stars Brown dwarves to planets: < 0.08 x mass of Sun No nuclear fusion, cool, faint
Star Formation Shrink size by 107; increase density by x 1021 ! Where planets also form • Giant Molecular Cloud Core Raw material for star birth • Gravitational Collapse & Fragmentation Proto-stars, proto-binaries, proto-clusters • Rotation & Magnetic Fields Accretion disks, jets, & outflows • Planets Most may form in clusters!

Collapse of a 10 Mo, rotating cloud t = 65,000 yr: M* = 7 Mo, Mdisk = 2.8 Mo, Menv = 0.2Mo

Jets from Young Stars • Fossil Record of Accretion &Mass-loss: • Tracer of stellar birth over 105 years • Feedback / Self-Regulation of Star formation: • Lowest rung of “feedback ladder” • Laboratory for ALL collimated outflow phenomena: • Planetary nebulae, Symbiotic systems (WDs, NSs) • QSOs, AGN, ….. • Accretion + Rotation + Magnetic Fields => JETS
Jet Acceleration & Collimation • dM /dt increases as L0.8 • V increases as L0.2 • Acceleration Mechanisms: • - Radiation pressure ? NO - L/c too low • - Thermal pressure gradient? NO • - MHD YES! • Uchida-Shibata, Lovelace – helical torsion, impulsive • Pudritz-Norman disk wind - advected B, steady • Shu X-wind - stellar dynamo, steady • - Dynamical decay; release of gravitational potential (Orion) • Collimation: • - Magnetic hoop stress • - Ambient density gradient • - Ram-pressure of infalling • envelope
