  1. Outflows from Young Stars and the Interstellar Medium Alyssa A. Goodman & Héctor G. Arce Harvard University cfa-www.harvard.edu/~agoodman Note: This talk is a special “preview” of Héctor Arce’s thesis, to be completed Summer 2001.

  2. Star Formationv. 2000 (a.k.a. GMC or Cloud Complex)

  3. Star Formation v. 2000: The Bare Essentials 1. Stars form in molecular cloud complexes which range in size from ~10's to 100's of pc. 2. Molecular clouds can be characterized as turbulent, definitely supersonic, and perhaps super-Alfvénic. 3. Select "coherent" pieces of molecular clouds collapse and fragment to form stars. 4. Every star produces an outflow for during some (significant) fraction of its pre-main-sequence life. 5. Outflows can, and apparently often do, extend for several pc.

  4. "Cores" and Outflows Giant Molecular Clouds Jets and Disks Solar System Formation How the Recipe Works

  5. Do Outflows Ever “Create” Cloud Structures?If so, how does this effect future star formation & the “clump mass spectrum”? Today’s Proposal The “Standard Model”

  6. Radio Spectral-line Observations of Molecular Clouds

Structure-Finding Algorithms Typical Stellar IMF Salpeter 1955 Miller & Scalo 1979 What does the clump “IMF” look like? • CLUMPFIND (Williams et al. 1994) • Autocorrelations (e.g. Miesch & Bally 1994) • Structure Trees (Houlahan & Scalo 1990,92) • GAUSSCLUMPS (Stutzki & Güesten 1990) • Wavelets (e.g. Langer et al. 1993) • Complexity (Wiseman & Adams 1994) • IR Star-Counting (C. Lada et al. 1994) • PCA (Heyer & Schloerb 1997) • Spec. Corr. Function (Rosolowsky et al. 1999) E. Lada 1992 E. Lada et al. 1991

  9. Molecular Clouds "Created" by Supernovae 100 mm Emission in Cassiopeia Tóth et al. 1995 Keep in Mind...

  10. Examples that might convince you that YSO Outflows Move More Gas than You Thought 1. “Giant” Herbig-Haro Flows PV Cephei 2. The Effect of Outflows on their host Cores B5 3. Are Some Dark Clouds Created by Outflows? HH300 4. How much of a molecular cloud complex was “moved” to its present location by an outflow? Taurus

  11. “Giant” Herbig-Haro Flows:PV Ceph 1 pc Reipurth, Bally & Devine 1997

  12. MatchingEjectionAngles(assumes episodic ejections from precessing or wobbling stationery source)

  13. Matching Ejection Distance (preferred by Reipurth)

  14. A New Proposal: Episodic ejections from precessing or wobbling moving source Required motion of 0.25 pc (e.g. 2 km s-1 for 125,000 yr)

  25. Giant HH Flow: PV Ceph • Ejection is almost surely episodic, and gas from >1 episode present along some lines of sight • Souce may travel in addition to precessing or wobbling • Both Velocity and Density Structure of “Cloud” bear resemblance to Outflow

  26. 2. The Effect of Outflows on their host Cores Previous Suggestions • Increased Turbulence (in the area of the core coexisting with outflow) • Core Dispersal by Outflows New Slightly Radical Suggestion • Outflow Gas May Be a Significant Volume of a Core (accounts for increased line widths & can lead to core dispersal)
