On the central core in MHD winds and jets
We demonstrate that the 1D cylindrical version of the Grad-Shafranov equation is more rich than classical self-similar ones, and more suitable for the astrophysical jets we observe. In particular, it allows us to describe the central (and, hence, the most energetic) part of the flow. Both relativistic and non-relativistic versions are discussed. It is shown that taking into account the finite p...
متن کاملGlobal Asymptotic Solutions for Relativistic Mhd Jets and Winds
We consider relativistic, stationary, axisymmetric, polytropic, unconfined, perfect MHD winds, assuming their five lagrangian first integrals to be known. The asymptotic structure consists of field-regions bordered by boundary layers along the polar axis and at null surfaces, such as the equatorial plane, which have the structure of charged column or sheet pinches supported by plasma or magneti...
متن کاملGlobal Asymptotic Solutions for Non-relativistic Mhd Jets and Winds
We present general and global analytical solutions, valid from pole to equator, for the asymptotic structure of non-relativistic, rotating, stationary, axisymmetric, polytropic, unconfined, perfect MHD winds. The standard five lagrangian first integrals along field lines are assumed known. The asymptotic structure of such winds consists of field-regions virtually devoid of poloidal current. We ...
متن کاملEvidence for bipolar jets in late stages of AGB winds
Bipolar expansion at various stages of evolution has been recently observed in a number of AGB stars. The expansion is driven by bipolar jets that emerge late in the evolution of AGB winds. The wind traps the jets, resulting in an expanding, elongated cocoon. Eventually the jets break-out from the confining spherical wind, as recently observed in W43A. This source displays the most advanced evo...
متن کاملNonradial and nonpolytropic astrophysical outflows IV. Magnetic or thermal collimation of winds into jets?
An axisymmetric MHD model is examined analytically to illustrate some key aspects of the physics of hot and magnetized outflows which originate in the near environment of a central gravitating body. By analyzing the asymptotical behaviour of the outflows it is found that they attain a variety of shapes such as conical, paraboloidal or cylindrical. However, non cylindrical asymptotics can be ach...
