Transient Be/X-ray binary systems, wherein a compact object accretes from a Be-companion star, can show giant and periastron outbursts. During the decay of their giant outbursts, some Be/X-ray binaries also show X-ray re-brightenings, the…

The high-velocity molecular jet driven by Class 0 protostar IRAS 04166+2706 exhibits a unique saw-tooth velocity pattern. It consists of a series of well-aligned symmetric knots with similar averaged speeds, whose speeds at peaks of…

We propose that sub-Keplerian accretion belts around stars might launch jets. The sub-Keplerian inflow does not form a rotationally supported accretion disk, but it rather reaches the accreting object from a wide solid angle. The basic…
