Simulations of Evolving or Outbursting Molecular Protostellar Jets
The kinematic and radiative power of molecular jets is expected to change as a protostar undergoes permanent or episodal changes in the rate at which it accretes. We study here the consequences of evolving jet power on the spatial and velocity structure, as well as the fluxes, of molecular emission from the bipolar outflow. We consider a jet of rapidly increasing density and a jet in which the ...
متن کاملSteepening of Afterglow Decay for Jets Interacting with Stratified Media
We calculate light-curves for Gamma-Ray Burst afterglows when material ejected in the explosion is confined to a jet which propagates in a medium with a power-law density profile. The observed light-curve decay steepens by a factor of Γ when an observer sees the edge of the jet. In a uniform density medium the increase in the power-law index (β) of the light-curve as a result of this edge effec...
متن کاملThe Stability of Stratified Jets
We study numerically the two dimensional linear instabilities of an incompressible, inviscid, density stratified, symmetric jet as a function of a width parameter, D. In the limit of infinite D, the maximum growth rate of temporal instability exponentially approaches that of the shear flow on either flank of the jet. The growth rate need not approach this limit monotonically, however. For some ...
متن کاملHydrodynamic simulations of molecular outflows driven by slow-precessing protostellar jets
We present hydrodynamic simulations of molecular outflows driven by jets with a long period of precession, motivated by observations of arc-like features and Ssymmetry in outflows associated with young stars. We simulate images of not only H2 vibrational and CO rotational emission lines, but also of atomic emission. The density cross section displays a jaw-like cavity, independent of precession...
متن کاملKnots in Relativistic Transverse Stratified Jets
We investigate the plasmoid knot formation in stratified relativistic jet by means of relativistic magneto-hydrodynamics simulations. Indeed, astrophysical jets in active galactic nuclei (AGN) seem to be transversely stratified, with a fast inner jet and a slower outer jet. It is likely that the launching mechanism for each component is different. On the other hand, the steady and moving knots’...
