Abstract
Well established correlations of low-mass flows show a continuity in the high-mass regime, and mean accretion rates for L>1000 Lsun are dM/dt~10^(-4) Msun/yr. We also present a tight correlation between outflow masses and core masses, which implies that the accretion rate is to first order a linear function of the core mass. All those results support the idea that similar physical processes drive outflows of all masses.Comment: 2 pages, 2 ps-figures, in: Proceedings of The earliest phases of massive star birtKeywords
