Abstract
Jet formation is connected most probably with matter acceleration from the vicinity of rotating magnetized bodies. It is usually related to the mass outflows and ejection from accretion disks around black holes. Problem of jet collimation is discussed. Collapse of a rotating magnetized body during star formation or supernovae explosion may lead to a jet-like mass ejection for certain angular velocity and magnetic field distributions at the beginning of the collapse. Jet formation during magnetorotational explosion is discussed basing on the numerical simulation of collapse of magnetized bodied with quasi-dipole field.
