Abstract
The ordered magnetic fields in accretion disks around black-holes and stars may have a direct role in the formation of the narrow jets seen in many extra-galactic radio sources and infra-red bipolar sources. An overview is given of recent theoretical work on magnetohydrodrynamics of accretion disks and on the magnetic mechanism for the formation and collimation of narrow jets.
