Why Are (Almost) All the Protostellar Outflows Aligned in Serpens Main?

We present deep 1.4–4.8 μ m JWST-NIRCam imaging of the Serpens Main star-forming region and identify 20 candidate protostellar outflows, most with bipolar structure and identified driving sources. The outflow position angles (PAs) are strongly correlated, and they are aligned within ±24° of the majo...
