this research proposal aims at a better understanding of the physical properties of mass outflows from young stellar objects in different evolutionary stages. using iso.s lws we expect to gain new information concerning the nature of the driving source, the mass loss rate, the collimation, the excitation condition in the outflow region and the physical properties of the circumstellar mass distribution. furthermore, with the new data we hope to discriminate among conflicting models by constraining their parameter spaces. we request 9 hours for line scans at medium and high resolution (autumn launch). for spring launch 8.2 hours are foreseen.

Mission Description
The Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) was the worlds first true orbiting infrared observatory. Equipped with four highly-sophisticated and versatile scientific instruments, it was launched by Ariane in November 1995 and provided astronomers world-wide with a facility of unprecedented sensitivity and capabilities for a detailed exploration of the Universe at infrared wavelengths.
