Jets and Shocks
Description:
Jets and shocks are important topics in modern astrophysics. Newly-formed stars eject highly collimated jets of gas into molecular clouds. When a massive star explodes, its rapidly expanding atmosphere produces a shock wave in the surrounding material. SSP scientists use observations and theory to study the formation and evolution of jets and shocks.
