"Winds from Young Stars and their Accretion Disks" 

The simultaneous existence of accreting proto-planetary disks and accretion powered outflows from young stars has been known for some time. The winds that are the source of the outflows have been more difficult to pin down. I will present evidence for multiple winds contributing to the large scale outflows, some arising in the star-disk interaction region and some from the extended disk. Together, they play important roles in the angular momentum evolution of the star-disk system.
