Binary neutron star mergers can form short-lived magnetar-like remnants whose magnetically dominated polar towers reach $B\sim10^{15}$--$10^{16}\,\mathrm{G}$, but the microphysical composition of these outflows remains poorly understood.…

There is a broad consensus that accretion onto supermassive black holes and consequent jet formation power the observed emission from active galactic nuclei (AGNs). However, there has been less agreement about how jets form in accretion…
