Abstract
Almost a decade after the discovery of the jets from young stars (Mundt and Fried, 1983) many of their characteristics, e.g., radial velocities, velocity dispersions and opening angles, have been investigated (for reviews see e.g. Mundt, 1985, 1988, this volume; Reipurth, 1991). In order to fully understand the Magneto Hydro-Dynamical phenomena playing a role in the propagation of the jets through the surrounding interstellar medium, the knowledge of their kinematical properties is essential. From spectroscopic observations only the radial velocity fields in the jets and bow shocks are known. Therefore, it is necessary to measure also the proper motions of the knots in the jets and of the condensations in their bow shocks.
