  17. Size of the Launching Region? Jet power = Rate of work done against the magnetic torque = (Footpoint orbital frequency) x (Angular momentum flux): Infer launching region lies 0.3 to 4 AU from the star. Assumes energy and momentum conserved along streamlines. Anderson et al. 2003 National Aeronautics and Space Administration

  19. Outflow-Driven Turbulence 1 Nakamura & Li 2007 National Aeronautics and Space Administration

  20. Outflow-Driven Turbulence 2 Cloud kinetic energy vT2dissipates on a crossing time R/vT, so the outflows can provide the stirring if i.e., if the outflow kinetic luminosity is greater than the dissipation rate in the gas associated with the star. With R=10 pc, vT=10 km s-1, f=0.01, vJ=300 km s-1 and jet mass flow rate 10-7 Solar masses per year, the outflows are sufficient to power the turbulence.
