Abstract
It is shown that powerful, self-collimated jets can be produced by keplerian accretion disks thread by a large-scale magnetic field. The general properties of the disk as well as the interplay between accretion and ejection processes are exposed, in the context of both active galactic nuclei and young stellar objects. Global self-similar solutions are presented for non-relativistic jets.
