Figure 1: Plot of the orientation of the stars with respect to the magnetic field. Small segments represent interstellar polarisation measurements while long bold segments indicate the orientation of CTTS. Thick vectors with arrow heads are for CTTS with jets, thick vectors without arrow heads are for CTTS with a disk but no detected extended outflow. Short thin segments trace the direction of the magnetic field. |

Figure 2: Cumulative distribution function of the difference in PAs between the local magnetic field and the CTTS symmetry axis (solid histogram, Table 1) and the major axis of optical cores (dashed histogram, from Lee & Myers 1999). The dotted line is the function expected for an infinite randomly oriented sample. |

Figure 3: Cumulative distribution function of the difference in PAs between the local magnetic field and the CTTS symmetry axis (Col. 10 in Table 1). The dashed histogram is for all sources with a jet, the dot-dashed histogram for sources with a disk but no jet/outflow and the solid histogram is for the whole sample. The dotted line is the function expected for an infinite randomly oriented sample. |

Figure 4: Histogram of the difference in PAs between the objects' symmetry axes and the local magnetic field. The solid-line histogram represent CTTS with disks but no jet, the dashed-line histogram is for CTTS with a jet. |
