[HTML][HTML] Numerical simulations of jets

S Komissarov, O Porth - New Astronomy Reviews, 2021 - Elsevier
When astrophysical jets were discovered one hundred years ago, the field of numerical
simulations did not yet exit. Since the arrival of programmable computers though, numerical …

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 …

Magneto-thermal disk winds from protoplanetary disks

XN Bai, J Ye, J Goodman, F Yuan - The Astrophysical Journal, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
The global evolution and dispersal of protoplanetary disks (PPDs) are governed by disk
angular-momentum transport and mass-loss processes. Recent numerical studies suggest …

OJ287: deciphering the 'Rosetta stone of blazars'

S Britzen, C Fendt, G Witzel, SJ Qian… - Monthly Notices of …, 2018 - academic.oup.com
ABSTRACT OJ287 is the best candidate active galactic nucleus (AGN) for hosting a
supermassive binary black hole (SMBBH) at very close separation. We present 120 Very …

Global evolution of an accretion disk with a net vertical field: coronal accretion, flux transport, and disk winds

Z Zhu, JM Stone - The Astrophysical Journal, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
We report results from global ideal MHD simulations that study thin accretion disks (with
thermal scale height H/R= 0.1 and 0.05) threaded by net vertical magnetic fields. Our …

Global hydromagnetic simulations of protoplanetary disks with stellar irradiation and simplified thermochemistry

O Gressel, JP Ramsey, C Brinch… - The Astrophysical …, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
Outflows driven by large-scale magnetic fields likely play an important role in the evolution
and dispersal of protoplanetary disks and in setting the conditions for planet formation. We …

GRMHD simulations of accreting neutron stars with non-dipole fields

P Das, O Porth, AL Watts - Monthly Notices of the Royal …, 2022 - academic.oup.com
ABSTRACT NASA's NICER telescope has recently provided evidence for non-dipolar
magnetic field structures in rotation-powered millisecond pulsars. These stars are assumed …

How frequent are close supermassive binary black holes in powerful jet sources?

MGH Krause, SS Shabala… - Monthly Notices of …, 2019 - academic.oup.com
Supermassive black hole binaries may be detectable by an upcoming suite of gravitational
wave experiments. Their binary nature can also be revealed by radio jets via a short-period …

Analytical solution of magnetically dominated astrophysical jets and winds: jet launching, acceleration, and collimation

L Chen, B Zhang - The Astrophysical Journal, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
We present an analytical solution of a highly magnetized jet/wind flow. The left side of the
general force-free jet/wind equation (the" pulsar" equation) is separated into a rotating and a …

Magnetically driven accretion disk winds and ultra-fast outflows in PG 1211+ 143
