The large-scale magnetic field threading an accretion disk plays an important role in launching jets/outflows. The field may probably be advected inwards by the plasma in the accretion disk from the ambient environment (interstellar medium…

Outflows play a pivotal role in star formation as one of its most visible markers and a means of transporting mass, momentum, and angular momentum from the infalling gas into the surrounding molecular cloud. Their wide reach (at least…
We present a self-consistent, semi-analytical dynamical model of disk driven outflows in AGNs that are accelerated by a combination of magnetic stresses and radiation pressure. This model will make it possible to examine scenarios in which…
