Abstract: Perhaps counter-intuitively, when stars are forming large
fluxes of material are observed moving away from the forming star. Some of these outflows are extremely well collimated and fast, while others (molecular outflows) are slow, cold and not particularly well collimated. The relationship between these two outflows has been the subject of research for some time. We outline one of the more promising theories relating these two kinds of outflows and show how more accurate determinations of the physical characteristics can be made from observational data.
