WE PROPOSE AN ARCHIVAL STUDY OF THE MID-INFRARED EMISSION LINES FROM J SHOCKS DRIVEN BY PROTOSTELLAR OUTFLOWS. THEREBY WE WILL (1) MEASURE ACCURATELY THE OUTFLOW MASS-LOSS RATE OF A SAMPLE OF SEVERAL HUNDRED PROTOSTARS; (2) CHARACTERIZE THE EVOLUTION OF T National Aeronautics and Space Administration2014 - 2015
