Abstract
Within the dense molecular globule L 1448 in Perseus, Bachiller et al. (1990) have observed a highly-collimated energetic CO outflow. Their spectra exhibit highvelocity wings and peaks along both blue and red-shifted outflow lobes (V LSR up to 70 km s-1), features which they attribute to compact (size ~0.03 pc, mass ~ 10-4 M⊙) rapidly-moving molecular clumps or “bullets” within the flow. Notably, the lower-velocity clumps are found at the ends of the flow lobes, whilst the highest velocity features appear very near to the source; some braking process — presumably as the clumps interact with the ambient surroundings — seems to reduce the clump velocities with distance from the source.
