Abstract
Models for high Mach number, isothermal, pressure-matched jets ejected from sources with variable velocities are presented. It is found that the relaxation of the assumption of a time-independent source allows the complex position-velocity diagrams and multiple bow shock structures observed in some stellar jets to be explained in a straightforward way. Analytic and numerical models are presented for jets with variable velocity sources. A comparison with previously published observations of the HH 46/47 jet is performed which shows how the velocity variations observed along a jet can be used to reconstruct the past time variability of the source. This technique is promising for future studies of the mechanism by which stellar jets are produced.
