Jets from Young Stars II: Clues from High Angular Resolution Observations

By Leonardo Testi and Emma Whelan

This volume offers a background in modern high spatial resolution techniques, illustrating how such methods have impacted on our understanding of young stars. It provides hands-on insight into observing from space as well as the ground, the use of interferometers at millimeter and infrared wavelengths, spectro-astrometry, image analysis and spectral diagnostic techniques, and High Angular Resolution studies of the inner regions of circumstellar disks that play a fundamental role in jet launching. It also gives practical guidance on writing proposals and papers as well as developing public outreach skills.
