Magnetized Astrophysical Outflows: Cradle to Grave, Source to Effect
Adam Frank, Thomas A. Gardiner, Thibaut Lery
We discuss the propagation of radiative MHD jets and outflows focusing on outflows driven by magneto-centrifugal rotators. Our goal is to link the properties of the jets with the p…
Ambipolar Diffusion in YSO Jets
Adam Frank, Thomas A. Gardiner, Guy Delemarter +2
We address the issue of ambipolar diffusion in Herbig-Haro jets. The current consensus holds that these jets are launched and collimated via MHD forces. Observations have, however,…
Magnetized Protostellar Bipolar Outflows I. Self-similar model
Thibaut Lery, Richard N. Henriksen, Jason D. Fiege
We study a self-similar circulation model for protostellar bipolar outflows. The model is axisymmetric and stationary, and now includes Poynting flux. Compared to an earlier versio…
Outflows from magnetic rotators II. Asymptotic structure and collimation
Thibaut Lery, J. Heyvaerts, S. Appl +1
The asymptotic structure of outflows from rotating magnetized objects confined by a uniform external pressure is calculated. The flow is assumed to be perfect MHD, polytropic, axis…
