I discuss recent observations of asymmetries in Doppler shifts across T Tauri jets, and argue that the observed asymmetric velocity shifts and gradients do not indicate jet rotation. These observations, therefor, cannot be used as a support…

Jet systems with two unequal components interact with their parent accretion disks through the asymmetric removal of linear momentum from the star-disk system. We show that as a result of this interaction, the disk's state of least energy…

We review recent observational and theoretical results on the relationship between circumstellar accretion disks and jets in young stellar objects. We then present a theoretical framework that interprets jets as accretion-powered,…

I argue that the Doppler shift asymmetries observed in some young stellar object (YSO) result from the interaction of the jets with the circumstellar gas, rather than from jets' rotation. The jets do rotate, but at a velocity much below…

Connections between accretion disks and jets in accreting black holes are anticipated theoretically. In recent years, potential evidence for such connections has been emerging, most vividly in the convenient regime of stellar-mass black…

For many astrophysical sources with jets, there is evidence for the contemporaneous presence of disks. In contrast, pulsars such as the Crab and Vela show jets but have not yet revealed direct evidence for accretion disks. Here we show that…

An observational review is provided of the properties of accretion disks around young stars. It concerns the primordial disks of intermediate- and high-mass young stellar objects in embedded and optically revealed phases. The properties…

Jets from young stars represent one of the most striking signposts of star formation. The phenomenon has been researched for over two decades and there is now general agreement that such jets are generated as a by-product of accretion; most…

Turbulent accretion disks are the most probable origin of jets from young stellar objects. Using an extended version of ZEUS-3D code in the axisymmetry option we investigate the evolution of a disk wind into a collimated jet. Resistive jets…

We examine, parametrically, the interaction between the magnetosphere of a rotating, young stellar object (YSO) and a circumstellar accretion disk using 2.5-D (cylindrically symmetric) numerical magnetoydrodynamic simulations. The…

In this lecture I review the theory of magnetized accretion discs driving jets, with a focus on Young Stellar Objects (YSOs). I first introduce observational and theoretical arguments in favor of the ``disc wind'' paradigm. There, accretion…

While jets appear as a fundamental result of accretion processes onto compact objects in X-ray binaries, there is as yet no standard model for their underlying physics. The origin of the observed disk-jet coupling also remains largely…

Observations of Young Stellar Objects (YSOs) systems reveal a wide diversity of jet properties, from well-collimated bipolar jets to uni-polar jets and systems with no detectable jet. Both prograde and counter-rotating jets are reported,…

In the current paradigm of star formation magnetic fields play a very central role. Indeed, they probably help or even channel the initial gravitational collapse of the parent molecular cloud. But their most spectacular effect is certainly…

While stellar jets and outflows are fueled by accretion from disks, their direct influence on disks remain unexplored. Here we revisit ALMA observations of $^{12}\mathrm{CO}\,(J=2-1)$ line emission for the young stellar object WSB 52. We…

We have constructed the foundations to a series of theoretical diagnostic methods to probe the jet phenomenon in young stars as observed at various optical forbidden lines. We calculate and model in a self-consistent manner the physical and…

We review advances in the theoretical and computational studies of disk winds, jets and outflows including: the connection between accretion and jets, the launch of jets from magnetized disks, the coupled evolution of jets and disks, the…

We analyze the velocity gradient across the jets of the young stellar object (YSO) NGC 1333 IRAS 4A2 and explain it by decomposing the two opposite jets to two opposite sub-jets. The two sub-jets have the same radial velocity and the angle…

We propose a unified model for jet formation applicable to active galactic nuclei, young stellar objects, and X-ray binaries. In this model, the binding energy released from the accretion disk is primarily stored as turbulence rather than…

Powerful relativistic jets are one of the main ways in which accreting black holes provide kinetic feedback to their surroundings. Jets launched from or redirected by the accretion flow that powers them should be affected by the dynamics of…
