Magnetic fields in astrophysical jets: from launch to termination
RE Pudritz, MJ Hardcastle, DC Gabuzda - Space science reviews, 2012 - Springer
Long-lived, stable jets are observed in a wide variety of systems, from protostars, through
Galactic compact objects to active galactic nuclei (AGN). Magnetic fields play a central role …

Accretion-powered stellar winds. II. Numerical solutions for stellar wind torques
S Matt, RE Pudritz - The Astrophysical Journal, 2008 - iopscience.iop.org
In order to explain the slow rotation observed in a large fraction of accreting pre-main-
sequence stars (CTTSs), we explore the role of stellar winds in torquing down the stars. For …

A symmetrically pulsed jet of gas from an invisible protostar in Orion
H Zinnecker, MJ McCaughrean, JT Rayner - Nature, 1998 - nature.com
Young stars are thought to accumulate most of their mass through an accretion disk, which
channels the gas and dust of a collapsing cloud onto the central protostellar object. The …
