Jet launching: MHD simulations of the accretion-ejection structure Christian Fendt MPIA, Heidelberg, DE
We present recent MHD simulations treating the accretion-ejection structure. Our setup includes a physical magnetic diffusivity which is essential for loading the accretion material onto the outflow. We find relatively high mass fluxes in the outflow, of the order of 20-40% of the accretion rate. We also treat launching in a truly bipolar setup, investigating the possible origin of intrinsic jet asymmetry. We also show simulations of jets launched by dynamo-generated disk magnetic fields.
