Astrophysical jets are launched from strongly magnetized systems that host an accretion disk surrounding a central object. The origin of the magnetic field, which is a key component of the launching process, is still an open question. Here…

A large body of theoretical and computational work shows that jets - modelled as magnetized disk winds - exert an external torque on their underlying disks that can efficiently remove angular momentum and act as major drivers of disk…

In resistive and viscous magnetohydrodynamical (MHD) simulations we obtain axial jets launched from the innermost magnetosphere of a star-disk system. We found that in a part of the parameter space continuous asymmetric jets, which are…

Context. Jets are commonly detected in post-asymptotic giant branch (post-AGB) binaries and originate from an accretion process onto the companion of the post-AGB primary. These jets are revealed by high-resolution spectral time series.…

We consider an accretion flow model originally proposed by Bisnovatyi-Kogan & Ruzmaikin (1974), which has been confirmed in recent 3D MHD simulations. In the model, the accreting gas drags in a strong poloidal magnetic field to the center…

We show that a large-scale, weak magnetic field threading a turbulent accretion disk tends to be advected inward, contrary to previous suggestions that it will be stopped by outward diffusion. The efficient inward transport is a consequence…

We present a self-consistent MHD model for the jet of M87. The model consist of two distinct zones: an inner relativistic outflow, which we identify with the observed jet, and an outer cold disk-wind. While the former does not…

Relativistic jets, or highly collimated and fast-moving outflows, are endemic to many astrophysical phenomena. The jets produced by gamma-ray bursts and tidal disruption events are accompanied by the accretion of material onto a black hole…
