In addition to being fascinating astrophysical laboratories in
their own right, Herbig-Haro flows have in recent years emerged as
key phenomena in our attempts to understand the complex and violent
processes that govern the birth of low mass stars. This work
provides an overview of the major advances which the study of
Herbig-Haro jets has enjoyed since 1995. On the observational side,
Hubble Space Telescope images have revealed the intricate details
of the shock structures in these supersonic flows, millimetre
interferometry and infrared imaging can now probe the detailed
structure of the molecular component of deeply embedded jets, and
sub-millimetre and radio continuum maps now enable us to study the
near environment of the optically invisible driving sources of
jets. On the theoretical side, detailed numerical and analytical
magnetohydrodynamic models have reached a level of sophistication
that allows realistic comparison with observations and insights
into the jet formation mechanisms. Similarly detailed observational
and theoretical studies of the disks and winds of T Tauri stars are
now gradually being linked to the Herbig-Haro flows, providing a
first glimpse of how stars can be born by both accreting and
ejecting infalling material.
