Abstract

In this paper we discuss the fact that the observed “accelerations” (i. e., higher velocities at larger distances from the source) observed along some Herbig-Haro (HH) jets directly imply that the ejection velocity has to be time-dependent. Even though discussed in the early literature of the subject, this is an often forgotten fact.
