We present a numerical study of turbulence and dynamo action in stratified shearing boxes with zero mean magnetic flux. We assume that the fluid obeys the perfect gas law and has finite (constant) thermal diffusivity. We identify two regimes. The first is a conductive regime in which the heat is transported mostly by conduction and the density decreases with height. In the limit of large...

A criterion is derived for distinguishing if a rotating hydrodynamic outflow emerging from the atmosphere and the gravitational well of a central object obtains a radial (wind) or cylindrical (jet) asymptotical shape. Quasi-analytical solutions are obtained via a nonlinear separation of the variables, which are the spherical distance and the mass flux function, in the relevant physical...

Diffusion of, and turbulence in, magnetic fields are believed to be critical to various processes in astrophysics such as particle acceleration, magnetic reconnection and star formation. It has been suggested that MHD turbulence itself can play a critical role in magnetic field diffusion. If this is true then it implies that some of our notions about global structures in turbulent...

Powerful atomic jets and molecular outflows are observed in young protostars at all stages of active accretion, from the young embedded Class 0 and Class 1 phases to the later optically revealed T Tauri or Class 2 phase. The origin of the ejection, its role in angular momentum extraction and impact on protoplanetary disk evolution remain as fundamental open questions in star formation.

I will present a survey of forbidden line emission in a sample of 130 T Tauri stars in the Lupus, Chamaeleon and sigma Ori clouds conducted with the X-shooter instrument. The aim of the survey is to study the occurrence of high velocity jets and slow winds on a statistical bases, and investigate on the connection between the different mass loss phenomena and the source accretion properties.

Winds and jets are key factors in the evolution of accretion disks in pre-main sequence stars, and deriving their physical properties is one of the most important steps for a full understanding of the connection among outflow, jet and accretion processes. In this work we determine the physical properties of the high velocity component (HVC) and the low velocity component (LVC) emitting region...

The European Commission has made a large number of changes to the structure of innovative training networks (ITNs) in comparison to "The JETSET Era". Here I will look at these changes, explain the level of funding one might expect and what the budget will cover. I will also outline the differences, not always obvious, between the 3 main selection criteria of Excellence, Impact and...

Extreme Light Infrastructure – Nuclear Physics (ELI-NP) is the Romanian pillar of the pan-European distributed research facility based on ultra-short-pulse lasers. Due to the unprecedented intensity regimes the 10PW lasers at ELI-NP can reach, and also to the combination of beams that can be synchronized and made available at the same time, new experiments relevant for the extreme conditions...

Molecular clouds are the birthplaces of stars. Their structure and evolution hold the key to understanding the initial conditions of star and planet formation, and the physics that sets the distribution of masses and multiplicities of newborn stars. However, their complexity, their typically turbulent, filamentary, disordered appearance, and ubiquitous projection effects hinder all efforts to...

I will present results of recent jet launching MHD simulations. These include simulations considering a dynamo-generated disk magnetic flux, and simulations in 3D thus considering jet launching in binary systems. I will also discuss a general interrelation between the disk magnetization and the jet dynamical parameters.

Many questions still remain open on the stellar accretion process which occurs during the first phases of the life of young stars and consequently the details in the exchange of mass and momentum between the proto-star and its accretion disk still remain approximate: the topology of the accretion flow, its temperature, its observability in the UV and X-ray bands, the possibility of any...

CTTSs are young stars accreting mass from their circumstellar disks. According to the largely accepted magnetospheric accretion scenario, the disk extends until the truncation radius, where the magnetic field is strong enough to disrupt the disk and to channel the material towards the star forming an accretion column. The material falls into the star at free fall velocity and hits the stellar...

We have recently obtained ALMA Band 7 polarimetric data for the young systems DG Tau and CW Tau,
for which the rotation properties of jet and disk have been investigated in previous high angular resolution studies.
The motivation was to test the models of magneto-centrifugal launch of jets via the determination of the magnetic configuration at the disk surface. Non-spherical dust grains...

Observations of stellar jets show evidence of X-ray emitting shocks close to the launching site. In some cases, including YSOs at different stages of evolution, the shocked features appear to be stationary (e.g. HH 154 and DG Tau). We study the case of HH 154, the jet originating from the embedded binary Class 0/I protostar IRS 5, and the case of the jet associated with DG Tau, a more evolved...

Supernovae (SN) and astrophysical jets are two of the most energetic and intriguing objects in the universe. We examine an interesting scenario that involves the interaction of these two extreme phenomena, uniquely ''combined'' in the W50-SS433 system: a jet launched from the microquasar SS433 (an X-ray binary, XRB) located inside a supernova remnant (SNR), W50. Observations have revealed a...

We investigate the plasmoid knot formation in stratified relativistic jet by means of relativistic magneto-hydrodynamics simulations. Indeed, astrophysical jets in active galactic nuclei seem to be transversely stratified, with a fast inner jet and a slower outer jet. As it is likely that the launching mechanism for each component is different. In the other hand, the steady and moving knots...

The spin evolution of classical TTauri stars (CTTS) represents a puzzling problem. Since they are still contracting and accreting, these protostars would be expected to spin-up at breakup speed in a few million years. On the other hand, as soon as they emerge from the Class 0-I embedded phases, they are observed to rotate with periods between 1-10 days, well below their breakup limit. In...

High energy emission from young stars with disks, with all their components due to accretion and outflow activity, can have a deep impact on the evolution of their disks and on the formation of exo-planetary systems.

Accretion of matter is a process that plays a central role in the physics of young stellar objects. The analysis of the structure by which matter settles on the star can unveil key information about the process of star formation by providing details on mass accretion rates, stellar magnetic field configurations, possible effects of accretion on the stellar coronal activity, etc.
Here we...
