We present a model of a hypersonic, collimated, "single pulse" outflow, produced by an event with an ejection velocity that first grows, reaches a peak, and then decreases again to zero velocity in a finite time (simultaneously, the ejection density can have an arbitrary time-variability). We obtain a flow with a leading "head" and a trailing "tail" that for times greater than the width of the pulse develops a linear, "Hubble law" velocity vs. position. We present an analytic model for a simple…

A Tail of Two Clumps
We present two axisymmetric simulations of a high velocity clump in a photoionized region: one for the case of a uniform, low density environment and a second one for the case of a clump first…

The Motion of a Losing Mass Plasmon
The interaction of a high velocity clump of gas has been described by the plasmon model, which considers balance between ram pressure and the internal stratified structure of the decelerated clump.…
Proto-Planetary Nebulae as Explosions: Bullets versus Jets and Nebular Shaping
Many proto-planetary nebulae (PPNs) appear as narrow collimated structures sometimes showing multiple, roughly aligned lobes. In addition, many PPN flows have been shown to have short acceleration…

Analytic solutions to the problem of jets with time-dependent injection velocities
It has frequently been stated (in particular by us) that the problem of a jet with a periodically varying injection velocity does not allow full analytic solutions. A description of such jets in…
The interaction of an O star wind with a Herbig-Haro jet
Context. Herbig-Haro jets ejected from young, low mass stars in the proximity of O/B stars will interact with the more or less isotropic winds from the more massive stars. An example of this are the…
Discovery of an Expanding Molecular Bubble in Orion BN/KL
During their infancy, stars are well known to expel matter violently in the form of well-defined, collimated outflows. A fairly unique exception is found in the Orion Becklin-Neugebauer/Kleinmann-Low…
