Magnetically driven mass accretion in protoplanetary disks plays a crucial role in understanding disk evolution and planet formation. However, the $\alpha$ prescription lacks a direct connection to physical processes, and no systematic…

The evolution of a large-scale poloidal magnetic field in accretion discs is an important problem because of its role in the launching of jets and winds and in determining the intensity of turbulence. In this paper, we develop a formalism…

Accreting pulsars power relativistic jets, and display a complex spin phenomenology. These behaviours may be closely related to the large-scale configuration of the star's magnetic field, shaped by its interaction with the surrounding…
