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,…
Numerical simulations of outflows formed during the collapse of 100 M_sun cloud cores are presented. We derive a generalised criterion from MHD wind theory to analyse the launching mechanism of these outflows. The criterion is successfully…
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 discuss the problem of the formation of a large-scale magnetic field in the accretion disks around black holes, taking into account the nonuniform vertical structure of the disk. The high electrical conductivity of the outer layers of…
Relativistic jets are believed to be born magnetically dominated. Very and ultra-high energy cosmic rays can be efficiently accelerated by magnetic reconnection in these sources. We here demonstrate this directly, with no extrapolations to…
Approximately 10% of active galactic nuclei exhibit relativistic jets, which are powered by accretion of matter onto super massive black holes. While the measured width profiles of such jets on large scales agree with theories of magnetic…

We have carried out and analyzed a set of axisymmetric MHD simulations of the evolution of a turbulent/diffusive accretion disc around an initially unmagnetized star. The disc is initially threaded by a weak magnetic field where the…
We study the linear stability of a planar interface separating two fluids in relative motion, focusing on conditions appropriate for the boundaries of relativistic jets. The jet is magnetically dominated, whereas the ambient wind is…
When a magnetically-dominated super-fast magnetosonic GRB jet leaves the progenitor star the external pressure support may drop and the jet may enter the regime of ballistic expansion during which its magnetic acceleration becomes highly…
