An Unbiased Survey for Outflows in the W3 and W5 Star-Formation Regions

Abstract
During their birth all stars undergo periods of copious mass loss, frequently characterized by the occurrence of bipolar outflows. These outflows are believed to play a fundamental role in the star formation process. However the exact outflow generating method is obscure at present. To elucidate this problem we are investigating whether the flow properties are correlated over the entire protostellar mass spectrum. Progress in this area requires that we assemble a statistically valid sample of high-mass outflow systems. This is necessary since existing catalogues of such objects are heterogeneous and statistically incomplete.
