2 Optisch Importance of massive stars Great impact on ISM and star clusters, L  M 3 - Outflows and Jets - UV-radiation - Supernovae - The majority of all stars form in clusters, massive stars exclusively. - They produce all heavy elements Problem: With the typical accretion rates known from low-mass star formation, the radiation pressure of the forming massive stars would revert any infall for protostars >10M sun.

3 Massive Star Formation Modified classical scenario: Wolfire & Cassinelli 1987 Jijina & Adams 1996 Yorke & Sonnhalter 2002 Norberg & Maeder 2002 Keto 2002, 2003 Krumholz et al. 2005, 2006 Banerjee & Pudritz 2005 Coalescence and competitive accretion scenario: Bonnell et al. 1998, 2004, 2004 Stahler et al. 2000 Bally & Zinnecker 2005 Pudritz & Banerjee 2005 How to differentiate between both scenario? - Molecular outflows and accretion disks - Fragmentation and global collapse - …

4 “magnetic accretion-ejection structures” (Ferreira et al 1995-1997): 1) disk material diffuses across magnetic field lines 2) is lifted upwards by MHD forces, then 3) couples to the field and 4) becomes accelerated magnetocentrifugally and 5) collimated Jet launching and early collimation Magnetic field lines (thick) and streamlines (dashed) If F _|_ decreases --> gas pressure gradient lifts plasma from disk surface If F || increases --> radial centrifugal acceleration of plasma F || F _|_ Banerjee & Pudritz 2006

5 Outflow entrainment - Various outflow-entrainment models: jet-entrainment and wide-angle winds are likely the two most reasonable mechanisms. - Observational tools like pv-diagrams, mv-diagrams and various different jet/outflow tracers allow to constrain the models. Arce et al. 2007

6 Results of early massive outflow research Seem to be ubiquitous phenomena Very massive and energetic Seemingly less collimated than low-mass flows Different entrainment scenarios proposed (deflection, winds...) However, these results were based on small samples and poor angular resolution (between 21'' and 60'')

7 Massive molecular outflow maps - Assuming momentum conservation: p out = M out v out = M jet v jet = dM jet /dt v jet t = p jet - With a jet/outflow velocity ratio v jet /v out ~20 and a ratio of outflow rate to the accretion rate of ~0.3, one can estimate accretion rates: --> Mean accretion rate 10 -4 M sun /year high enough to overcome radiation pressure Grey: 1.2mm continuum, contours CO(2-1) wing emission IRAM 30m, Beam 11'' Beuther et al. 2002

8 Outflow masses versus core masses Accretion rate: M acc = f acc M core /t ff deflection efficiency: f r = M jet /M acc... Multiply both equations and assume momentum conservation f r f acc = M jet /M core = v out /v jet x M out /M core = constant M acc is approximately a linear function of M core (and the mass of the jet is proportional to the core mass).

10 Flashlight effect - With outflow cavities the average gas temperatures are cooler. - Gravitational force stronger in eq. plane. - Radiation escapes through outflow cavities. --> Reduction of radiation pressure and angular momentum problem.

20 An evolutionary scenario Beuther & Shepherd 2005

21 Summary Massive molecular outflows are ubiquitous phenomena. Jet-like outflows exists at least up to early-B and late-O-type stars. Like in low-mass star formation, some outflows are likely driven by jet-entrainment whereas others are consistent with wide-angle winds. Estimated accretion rates are high enough to overcome radiation pressure. Flashlight effect additional helps reducing radiation pressure in equatorial plane. Hence the observations support the classical scenario that massive star formation proceeds similarly to low-mass star formation. The observations suggests tentatively an evolutionary scenario.
