Abstract
The properties of the pre-main-sequence T Tauri stars are described in relation to the likely properties of their predecessors. These predecessors, the “pre-T Tauri stars”, are thought to be the stars responsible for exciting Herbig-Haro objects. Pre-T Tauri stars are capable of generating “stellar jets” by which bipolar flows carry material out into the ambient medium out of which low-mass stars form. Manifestations of these bipolar flows are: strings of optical Herbig-Haro objects; radio jets; large flattened dusty structures orthogonal to the flows. We describe the observations (optical, infrared, far-infrared and radio continuum) that provide evidence for these components in order to establish a framework for other authors in this volume to attempt to explain stellar and extragalactic jets by some unified model.
