1207.6598 (Giulio Tirabassi et al.)

Self-collimated axial jets from thin accretion disks    [PDF]

Giulio Tirabassi, Giovanni Montani, Nakia Carlevaro, Riccardo Benini
We show how an appropriate stationary crystalline structure of the magnetic field can induce a partial fragmentation of the accretion disk, generating an axial jet composed of hot rising plasma twisted in a funnel-like structure by the rotation of the system. The most important feature of the obtained jet is its high degree of collimation, naturally arising from the condition for its existence. The presence of non-zero dissipative effects allows the plasma ejection throughout the axial jet and the predicted values of the accretion rate are in agreement with observations.
