"Jets in Young Stellar Objects" by Amadeu J. L. Fernandes, Paulo J. V. Garcia, J. J. G. Lima, João J. G. Lima is a astronomy book and space science reference focused on Deep Sky & Solar System. Best for students, researchers, and serious astronomy enthusiasts.

The ubiquity of jet phenomena in young stellar objects, active galactic nuclei, symbiotic stars, planetary nebulae and x-ray binaries has driven a broad literature on the astrophysics of collimated mass ejection. One of the fundamental open problems in star formation is the understanding of the physical mechanisms by which mass is ejected from the protostellar system and collimated into jets. Locally, jets will regulate the system's angular momentum and therefore its evolution during the first few million years. At large scale, jets inject momentum into the cloud thus affecting its star formation efficiency and evolution.Many recent advances over the last years in the star-formation research (both theory and observations) together with the increasing availability of computational resources, provided an excellent opportunity to organise a workshop. This volume presents the results of the workshop discussions on the jet phenomenon on different astrophysical scales and covers interdisciplinary areassuch as steady state winds, time-dependent winds/jets, jet energetics and jet/wind propagation.
