Abstract

Winds and jets of T Tauri stars are generated in the inner part of the accretion disk around protostellar objects. The interaction between a magnetized protostellar object and its accretion disk generates magnetized disk winds, which are collimated on a scale of ≃ 50 AU. The magnetic structure of these disk winds follows from the self-consistent solutions of the force-balance equation. Stationary solutions of the relativistic Grad-Schlüter-Shafranov (GSS) equation with different field topologies applied to a protostellar star-disk system are presented
