Abstract: X-rays from protostellar jets have been discovered first in HH 2 and HH 154 and are now considered as a general feature of jets. HH 154 is among the best studied X-ray emitting jet: up to now it is the only jet whose X-ray source proper motion has been measured. By observing this jet in X-rays, a complex morphology of the detected source has been revealed. Here we discuss the results of modeling a randomly ejected pulsed jet traveling into an initially homogeneous medium. Our model allows us to directly compare the model predictions and the observations.
