Abstract
A method to analyse the morphology of molecular outflows is proposed. The different center-to-limb variation of high velocity wings for the two kinds of outflow models (hollow shell and “flow in a pipe”) is used to determine the flow morphology of the outflow in L1551. It is shown that all published spectra are consistent with the “flow in a pipe” model.
