The Disk-Jet Connection: A Universal Picture for Protostellar Jets
Ralph Pudritz McMaster University Western Workshop: From Protostellar Disks to Planetary Systems
Outline 1. Theory of disk winds2. Numerical simulations – disks as jet engines3. Coupled disk-jet evolution4. Disks and outflows during gravitational collapse5. Jets and star-disk interaction
Collaborators: Robi Banerjee (pdf), Sean Matt (pdf), Rachid Ouyed (U. Calgary), Conrad Rogers (summer student),
Major Advances in the field:
- High resolution spectro-imaging of jets
- Computational advances – large class of new solutions
- Disk/Jet paradigm being uncovered in massive stars & brown dwarfs.
(Reviews; eg. Pudritz 2003, Les Houches; and Pudritz et al , 2006, PPV)
Points of Principle:
1. Jets and disks are coupled: (in large measure, operation of a disk wind for observed jets)
- outflow rate scales with accretion rate - jet rotation and angular momentum extraction from disk measured
2. Universality: jet production mechanism same - from disks from brown dwarfs to massive stars (eg. massive stars: Konigl 1999)
Jets harness accretion power in all systems, from extended disk down to stellar surface..
1. Evidence for jet/disk coupling: (i) jet rotation
(Bacciotti et al 2003, Coffey et al 2004, Pesenti et al 2004)
jet rotation, 110 AU from source, at 6-15 km/sec
Footpoints for launch of jet *extended over disk surface* (Anderson et al 2003) LV originates from
disk region: 0.3-4.0 AU
(ii) accretion and jet mass loss rates coupled (wide
variety of systems (eg. Hartmann et al 1998)

2. Evidence for universality: CO flows
Conservation laws in steady, axisymmetric flow: 1. Conservation of mass and magnetic flux
* Function is mass load, per unit time, per unit magnetic flux - requires input physics. The way that an accretion disk mass loads field
lines at each disk radius plays critical role in jet dynamics

The toroidal field in rotating flows - from induction equation:
= ang. velocity at mid-plane of disk Strength of toroidal field: - depends on mass loading : stronger
toroidal field for smaller k inertial effect - mass load has an important effect on the collimation and variability of jets (Ouyed &
Pudritz 1999, MNRAS; Anderson et al 2005)

3. Energy conservation: Bernoulli theorem - energy conserved along each field line
Terminal speed – (i) scales with depth of gravitational potential well at point of launch;
(ii) has “onion-like” kinematic structure:
Use conservation laws (Anderson et al 2003) to deduce point of origin of outflow from disk from observed disk rotation profile

- Gradually decreasing field (BP): collimated jet- Steeply decreasing field (eg. monopolar): wide
angle outflow
Models: 1. jet-driven bow-shock (Raga & Cabrit 1993, Masson & Chernin 1993)? 2. wide-angle wind-driven, X-wind (Shu et al 2000, Li & Shu 1996)? - Both types observed (eg. Lee et al 2000)
Jet collimation depends on mass loading through
toroidal field (PRO):
II. Numerical simulations – disks as jet engines
Underlying accretion disk provides fixed boundary conditions for jet – check physics of
*ejection, acceleration, collimation, stability*
eg. Ustyugova et al (1995), Ouyed et al (Nature 1997), Ouyed & Pudritz (1997a,b, 1999), Romanova et al (1997), Meir et al (1997), Krasnopolsky et al (1999),…
Krasnopolsky et al (1999)
- treatment near outflow axis:
core “jet” – no equilibrium
- cold gas – pressure small
- constant density maintained
at disk boundary
Outflow from initial split –monopole initial field: Poloidal field and velocities isodensity contours
Beta = 1; flow not collimated Romanova et al (1997)
Mass loading controls jet collimation (Pudritz, Rogers, &
Ouyed, 2005, PRO)
- assume power-law disk field:
potential; Blandford-Payne;
Pelletier-Pudritz yet steeper
This prescribes mass loadings:

Collimation due to hoop stress Dense jet near axis in all models
- low density, wide-angle outflow from larger
radii for steeper distribution
- Shu et al (1994), Romanova et al (1996) as limiting cases – they are highly concentrated
fields that should give wide-angle flow…

Universality – applications of disk winds:1. Protoplanetary jets: Jovian planets accrete from circum-
planetary subdisk (eg. Kley et al 2001):
Fendt (2003) – disk wind model for planetary outflows - T up to 2000K: good coupling of field - feasible - Outflow of order escape speed: 60 km/sec (X-wind model: Quilling & Trilling 1998)
2. Massive YSO jets: precede radiative driven outflows ( Banerjee & Pudritz 2006, in prep.) - Disk winds many punch hole in envelop - allowing radiation to
escape ( Krumholz et al 2004)

III. Coupled Disk-Jet Evolution
Self-consistent mass loading, magnetic field, etc. – requires disk-jet interaction.
Questions: launch mechanism? Origin of disk field?
Disk and jet evolution both simulated - Non-equilibrium system: Uchida & Shibata (1985),
pioneering simulations… - Stone & Norman (1994), Bell & Lucek (1995),
Tomisaka (1999), Kudoh et al (2002), Casse & Keppens (2002), von Rekowski & Brandenburg (2004),…
How are jets actually launched?
Magnetic field squeezes matter towards disk plane below concave
region: pushes matter upwards in convex region
Change of curvature because accretion drags field lines inward
Turbulent diffusivity in disk – ideal MHD in jet

Jets as disk winds (Pudritz & Norman 1986): - launch inside 0.07 AU (separated by 5 month interval) - jets rotate and carry off angular momentum of disk - spin of protostellar core at this early time?

V. Jets and star-disk interaction
Field lines beyond Rco: shear and
inflate; disconnect from star –

Elstner, 2000)

Magnetosphere; funnel flow onto star – what cancels the spin-up torque?
Possibilities:
- disk-locking (Konigl 1991),
- X-wind (Shu et al 1994)
- accretion powered, stellar wind (Matt & Pudritz, 2005 ApJ)
