Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The formation of solar-type stars is a gradual process during which they accrete mass from the dense disks and cloud cores that surround them. This accretion requires the release of angular momentum, and an important mechanism for achieving this seems to be the production of jets along the polar axes of the young stars. But the presence of massive, luminous stars within the same star-forming region can affect the forming stars by stripping away their circumstellar envelopes with ultraviolet radiation, thereby removing the reservoir of gas from which the stars are built up and exposing the disks to photoerosions. Here we present observations of four highly collimated jets from young stars that appear to have been stripped of their circumstellar molecular cloud cores in this way. The production of jets seems to have been largely unaffected. If these jets are also photoionized, their mass loss rates can be determined from observations with much greater accuracy than for normal shock-excited jets.
