Abstract
We investigate outflows from the disk-magnetosphere boundary of rotating magnetized stars in cases where the magnetic field of a star is bunched into an X-type configuration using axisymmetric and full 3D MHD simulations. Such configuration appears if viscosity in the disk is larger than diffusivity, or if the accretion rate in the disk is enhanced. Conical outflows flow from the inner edge of the disk to a narrow shell with an opening angle 30–45∘. Outflows carry 0.1–0.3 of the disk mass and part of the disk’s angular momentum outward. Conical outflows appear around stars of different periods, however in case of stars in the “propeller” regime, an additional – much faster component appears: an axial jet, where matter is accelerated up to very high velocities at small distances from the star by magnetic pressure force above the surface of the star. Exploratory 3D simulations show that conical outflows are symmetric about rotational axis of the disk even if magnetic dipole is significantly misaligned. Conical outflows and axial jets may appear in different types of young stars including Class I young stars, classical T Tauri stars, and EXors.
