## TL;DR

This paper uses resistive MHD simulations to study star-disk-jet interactions, revealing outflows can form at certain distances from the star but not very close to it, providing insights into protostellar outflow origins.

## Contribution

It introduces resistive MHD simulations with ZEUS347 to explore outflow formation in star-disk systems, highlighting where outflows can and cannot occur.

## Key findings

- Outflows do not form very close to the star in simulations.
- Quasi-stationary funnel flows are observed onto the star.
-  Outflows may occur at tens of stellar radii above the star.

## Abstract

Stellar magnetosphere and accretion disk interact, and a result should be outflow launched from the innermost vicinity of a protostellar object. We simulated physical conditions in this region by resistive MHD simulations. Outflows resembling the observed ones do not happen in the closest vicinity, except for quasi-stationary funnel flows onto the star, but could occur at few tens of stellar radii above the star. Numerical simulations we performed using our resistive version of ZEUS-3D code, ZEUS347.
