The magnetospheric accretion/ejection process in young stellar objects: open issues and perspectives

Abstract

This summary talk aims at highlighting some of the remaining open issues regarding the physics of the magnetospheric accretion/ejection process in young stellar objects (YSOs). It lists a number of questions related to YSOs magnetic fields and accretion regimes, the structure and properties of accretion shocks, the origin of multiple outflow components, and the impact of the star-disk magnetic interaction onto early angular momentum evolution.
