Hypersonic, highly collimated, mass outflows ({\it jets}) are a ubiquitous phenomena in astrophysics. While the character of the jets differ, many exhibit some form of quasi-periodic clumping indicating the jet source is episodic or {\it…
We consider dynamo action under the combined influence of turbulence and large-scale shear in sheared jets. Shear can stretch turbulent magnetic field lines in such a way that even turbulent motions showing mirror symmetry become suitable…

Observations have shown the existence of narrow, very long, straight jets emitted by some newly forming stars (1). It is highly likely that stars forming in the plane of a spiral galaxy do so in the presence of an almost uniform magnetic…
A popular model for jet collimation is associated with the presence of a large-scale and predominantly toroidal magnetic field originating from the central engine (a star, a black hole, or an accretion disk). Besides the problem of how such…
