TL;DR
This paper explores how magnetic reconnection influences jet formation and accretion disk dynamics across various astrophysical systems, emphasizing its role in heating and particle acceleration.
Contribution
It revisits and extends a model linking magnetic reconnection to relativistic ejections in microquasars, applying it to diverse jet/disk systems.
Findings
Magnetic reconnection significantly impacts jet ejections.
Reconnection-driven heating influences particle acceleration.
The model applies to YSOs, microquasars, and AGNs.
Abstract
It was proposed earlier that the relativistic ejections observed in microquasars could be produced by violent magnetic reconnection episodes at the inner disk coronal region. Here we revisit this model, which employs a standard accretion disk description and fast magnetic reconnection theory, and discuss the role of magnetic reconnection and associated heating and particle acceleration in different jet/disk accretion systems, namely young stellar objects (YSOs), microquasars, and active galactic nuclei (AGNs).
