Young Stellar Objects constitute relevant targets of interest for shock physics and non-thermal processes in general. These objects can produce jets that interact with the surrounding interstellar medium. This is likely to lead to particle acceleration with subsequent non-thermal radiation. This has been demonstrated for instance in the case of HH80-81, where a clear signature of synchrotron radio emission has been revealed by Rodríguez-Kamenetzky et al. (2017).
