Molecular loading of protostellar jets
Michael W. Knight University of Kent, Canterbury, UK | |
Molecular hydrogen has been observed in protostellar jets travelling at velocities far in excess of shock speeds that would be expected to produce total dissociation. Using simulations we explore whether jets can be loaded with molecules through their interaction with a turbulent clumpy medium within the protostellar envelope. | |
