Outflows and Shock Chemistry
Observatorio Astronómico Nacional (IGN), Alfonso XII 3, 28014 Madrid, Spain
Bipolar outflows result from the supersonic ejection of material by a protostar, and constitute one of the most characteristic signposts of stellar birth. They also provide ideal targets to test chemical models, and can serve as templates for more complex systems of galactic and extragalactic astronomy where supersonic interactions between gas components take place.
