Magnetospheric launching in resistive MHD simulations
Abstract
We perform numerical simulations in the close vicinity of a slowly rotating young stellar object. Using our own resistive MHD Zeus347 code in 2D axisymmetry, magnetospheric interaction experiences four robust stages in evolution. Quasi-stationary axial and conical streams of outflowing matter can last many orbital periods as results of the resistivity-facilitated magnetic reconnections. The shape of the magnetic field depends on resistivity in the magnetosphere.
