Explosive molecular outflows

Abstract About 15 years ago, a new type of extreme (with kinetic energies of $$\textrm{E}_k \sim 10^{47-49}$$ E k ∼ 10 47 - 49 erg) molecular outflows associated with very luminous ( $$\ge $$ ≥ $$10^5$$ 10 5 $$\textrm{L}_\odot $$ L ⊙ ) and massive ( $$10^3$$ 10 3 $$\textrm{M}_\od...
