Shaping Outflows and Jets by Ambient Pressure: A Unified Framework by Willem A. Baan, Tao An

“…Our model reveals a remarkable consistency of pressure profiles, characterized by a power-law exponent near “–2” across 6 orders of magnitude in spatial scale, independent of the internal characteristics of the outflow or the nature of the central engine. This discovery suggests a universal mechanism for outflow collimation and acceleration, bridging the gap between theoretical models and observational features across a wide range of astronomical scales.…”
