2 Astrophysical Jets astrophysical jets: ubiquitous presence of accretion disks Young Stellar Objects (YSO) compact objects in binaries Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) collimated, reach high velocities (up to c) mass source of the jet? how to collimate and keep collimated? how to launch and accelerate mass in jet? Rony Keppens (KU Leuven) Jet launch Nov. 2013, IAC winter school 2 / 48
3 Protostar environments Forming stars: T-Tauri with mass M M optical HST image (Burrows et al. 1996) edge-on flaring disk, reflection nebula, jets collimated emission-line jets from center jet-knots move at few hundred km/s (supersonic!)
