Description
In order to help clarifying the role of protostellar jets and outflows as
potential drivers for stirring the turbulence of molecular clouds, we
assess physical parameters of outflows such as energy and momentum and
combine near-infrared and radio data of well-investigated regions, use
excitation models to account for missing transitions, and keep the
time-variability of the flows as well as their geometry in mind. We will
apply the derived results for outflows identified in H2 surveys (GLIMPSE
follow-up, UWISH2) to improve the overall statistics.
