dc.description.abstract | While much progress has been made in recent decades, there are many outstanding
questions about the star formation process, including how jets/outflows from young stars
are launched and travel away from their source. This thesis constitutes an observational
contribution to understanding the generation and propagation of jets and outflows from
pre-main sequence stars. Long standing observational difficulties lie in the fact that young
stars are often heavily embedded. Furthermore, due to the relatively small spatial and
temporal scales, physical properties of jet/outflows can only be deduced from high angular
resolution data. Consequently, to overcome these obstacles, this work focusses on more
evolved, and hence less embedded, T Tauri stars and harnesses the high spatial resolution
of the Hubble Space Telescope at optical and near ultraviolet wavelengths. | |
