| Abstract: | In this paper I will review the mid- and far-infrared observations obtained by the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) in jets and outflows from Young Stellar Objects (YSOs). The spectral range covered by ISO, from ～ 2.5 to 200 μm,includes transitions of the main gas cooling species (i.e. H2, CO, H2O, O) excited at temperatures of ～100–2000 K, which are not usually investigated through ground-based facilities. I will in particular focus on few important science cases addressed by the ISO spectroscopic observations, namely the observations of pure rotational H2 lines, the detection of thermal H2O lines, and the analysis on how the far infrared spectra of jets change with the evolution. |
