Abstract

In this study we discuss the impact of the magnetic field’s strength onto the characteristics of solutions in models where both the collimated outflow and the accretion disk are treated consistently. We perform an analysis on the range of magnetic field by non-relativistic 2.5 dimension numerical simulations using the PLUTO code. The main results are that magnetic fields around equipartition with plasma pressure allow for steady super-fast-magnetosonic collimated jet solutions; magnetic fields below equipartition correspond to intermittent collimated outflows, whereas above equipartition cases lead to sub-alfvenic winds. This allows to conclude that the configuration proposed by Blandford and Payne to interpret supersonic jets is viable both for equipartition and weaker magnetic fields.
