Jet Formation and Collimation in AGN and microQuasars
C. Sauty, K. Tsinganos, E. Trussoni
We briefly review our current understanding for the formation, acceleration and collimation of winds to jets associated with compact astrophysical objects such as AGN and microQuas…

Magnetic collimation of the solar and stellar winds
K. Tsinganos, S. Bogovalov
We resolve the paradox that although magnetic collimation of an isotropic solar wind results in an enhancement of its proton flux along the polar directions, several observations i…

Nonradial and nonpolytropic astrophysical outflows IV. Magnetic or thermal collimation of winds into jets?
C. Sauty, K. Tsinganos, E. Trussoni
An axisymmetric MHD model is examined analytically to illustrate some key aspects of the physics of hot and magnetized outflows which originate in the near environment of a central…
