Protostellar jets and magnetic diffusion
M. Cemeljic, Ch. Fendt
We investigate the evolution of a disk wind into a collimated jet under the influence of magnetic diffusivity. Using the ZEUS-3D code in the axisymmetry option we solve the time-de…
Stationary models of relativistic magnetohydrodynamic jets
Christian Fendt
Highly relativistic jets are most probably driven by strong magnetic fields and are launched from the accretion disk surrounding a central black hole. In this paper we review some…
Relativistic MHD jets and the GRBs
Christian Fendt
High velocity highly collimated beams of plasma -- the jets -- are known as a general phenomenon among astrophysical sources of different energy and spatial scale. The common MHD s…
Long-term evolution of a dipole type magnetosphere interacting with an accretion disk. II. Transition into a quasi-stationary spherically radial outflow
Christian Fendt, Detlef Elstner
The evolution of an initially stellar dipole type magnetosphere interacting with an accretion disk is investigated numerically using the ideal MHD ZEUS-3D code in the 2D-axisymmetr…
