Abstract

The occurrence of highly collimated outflow phenomena in Planetary Nebulae is reviewed. The observations are diverse. Sometimes simple pairs of fast knots are seen, sometimes more extended and complicated structures. Closer analysi of the simpler cases shows that they are anomalous not only in their outflow velocity, but also in their (N) abundance. The presence of a hot star further complicates their structure. Several models for the formation of these structures have been proposed but none go into much detail. These models are reviewed as well.
