Outflows and jets from massive star-forming clusters

Abstract

Studying outflows from young massive star-forming clusters allows one to deduce physical processes that lead to the formation of the most massive stars. I will review the current state of high-spatial-resolution interferometric (sub-)mm studies of massive molecular outflows and their implications for high-mass star formation. A possible evolutionary scenario for massive outflows with highly collimated structures at the very beginning and more wind-like outflows at later stages will be outlined.
