Controlling the collimation and rotation of hydromagnetic disk winds
We present a comprehensive set of axisymmetric, time-dependent simulations of jets from Keplerian disks whose mass loading as a function of disk radius is systematically changed. For a reasonable model for the density structure and injection speed of the underlying accretion disk, mass loading is determined by the radial structure of the disk’s magnetic field structure. We vary this structure b...
متن کاملMagnetic collimation of the solar and stellar winds
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 indicate a wind proton flux peaked at the equator. To that goal, we solve the full set of the timedependent MHD equations describing the axisymmetric outflow of plasma from the magnetized and rotating Sun, either in it...
متن کاملMHD disc winds
This is a doctorate level lecture on the physics of accretion discs driving magnetically self-confined jets, usually referred to in the literature as disc winds. I will first review the governing magnetohydrodynamic equations and then discuss their physical content. At that level, necessary conditions to drive jets from keplerian accretion discs can already be derived. These conditions are vali...
متن کاملThe Rotation of Hydromagnetic Waves by the Ionosphere
We show that the Doppler shift on whistler mode signals from VLF transmitters may be used to infer the magnetic field of an hydromagnetic wave above the ionosphere in the magnetosphere. This inferred field can then be compared with that measured on the ground. We examine one event in detail and show the data imply that a it/2 rotation of the orientation of the wave ellipse has occurred between ...
متن کاملBipolar Molecular Outflows Driven by Hydromagnetic Protostellar Winds.
We demonstrate that magnetically collimated protostellar winds will sweep ambient material into thin, radiative, momentum-conserving shells whose features reproduce those commonly observed in bipolar molecular outflows. We find that the typical position-velocity and mass-velocity relations occur in outflows in a wide variety of ambient density distributions, regardless of the time histories of ...
