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...
