We show that on electron scales a patch of the localized magnetic reconnection spreads bi-directionally in a wave like fashion when an external guide-magnetic field in the direction of the electron current is present. The spreading is…
Extreme-ultraviolet and X-ray jets occur frequently in magnetically open coronal holes on the Sun, especially at high solar latitudes. Some of these jets are observed by white-light coronagraphs as they propagate through the outer corona…

Recent studies have revealed that solar jets involving minifilament eruptions may be initiated under the well-known magnetic-breakout mechanism. Before or just at the onset of those jets, there should be a current sheet, where breakout…
We investigate potential models that could explain why multiple proto-stellar systems predominantly show single jets. During their formation, stars most frequently produce energetic outflows and jets. However, binary jets have only been…

We considered a model for the prompt phase of Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) emission arising from a magnetized jet undergoing gradual energy dissipation due to magnetic reconnection. The dissipated magnetic energy is translated to bulk kinetic…

It is commonly believed that blazar jets are relativistic magnetized plasma outflows from supermassive black holes. One key question is how the jets dissipate magnetic energy to accelerate particles and drive powerful multi-wavelength…
Three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamical simulations of strongly magnetized ``light'' conical jets have been performed. An investigation of the transition from sub-Alfv\'enic to super-Alfv\'enic flow has been made for nearly poloidal and for…
Star formation is usually accompanied by outflow phenomena. There is strong evidence that these outflows and jets are launched from the protostellar disk by magneto-rotational processes. Here, we report on our three dimensional, adaptive…

Jets can become collimated as they propagate through dense environments and understanding such interactions is crucial for linking physical models of the environments to observations. In this work, we use 3D special-relativistic simulations…
