Title: | The Driving Mechanism of Young Stellar Object Jets |
PI: | Peter McGregor |

Abstract
A small number of T Tauri stars and other Young Stellar Objects (YSOs) possess well-collimated outflows that are revealed by subarcsecond-scale "microjets". These microjets are seen in emission lines of shock-excited forbidden transitions and molecular hydrogen. The structure and dynamics of the jet can be used to infer information about the accretion envelope of the star and the mechanisms controlling mass inflow and jet collimation. We propose to use NIFS+ALTAIR/NGS to study these structures in the classic T Tauri star, HL Tau.
