Properties of the Winds of T Tauri Stars
Abstract
The properties of Classical T Tauri (TTS) winds - their mass loss rate, temperature, origin, and energetics - are reviewed and interpreted in terms of the most recent observational evidence. TTS winds seem to have their origin in the disk and are powered by accretion. Most TTS have Mdot_w <= 10^{-9} SMPY and Mdot_w / Mdot ~0.1, with T ~10^4 K.
