THE UNIFICATION OF RELATIVISTIC JETS [PDF]
I report about the unification of relativistic jets from compact objects. The mass range is between 1.4 and 10 billion solar masses (i.e. from neutron stars to supermassive black holes in galaxies).

Shock dynamics in relativistic jets [PDF]
We present a formalism of the dynamics of internal shocks in relativistic jets where the source has a time-dependent injection velocity and mass-loss rate. The variation of the injection velocity produces a two-shock wave structure, the working surface, that moves along the jet.

Probing the Internal Structure of Magnetized, Relativistic Jets with Numerical Simulations
From an observational point of view, unveiling the physical processes behind the nature of the jets emanating from radio-loud AGN demands the resolution of the structure across the jet with the highest angular resolutions.

COUNTER-ROTATION IN RELATIVISTIC MAGNETOHYDRODYNAMIC JETS [PDF]
Young stellar object observations suggest that some jets rotate in the opposite direction with respect to their disk. In a recent study, Sauty et al. (2012) have shown that this does not contradict the magnetocentrifugal mechanism that is believed to launch such outflows.

The Morphology and Dynamics of Relativistic Jets with Relativistic Equation of State
We study the effect of plasma composition on the dynamics and morphology of relativistic astrophysical jets. Our work is based on a relativistic total variation diminishing simulation code.

Magnetized, Relativistic Jets [PDF]
Extragalactic relativistic jets are composed by charged particles and magnetic fields, as inferred from the synchrotron emission that we receive from them. The Larmor radii of the particles propagating along the magnetic field are much smaller than the scales of the problem, providing the necessary coherence to the system to treat is as a flow.

Relativistic Jets in Collapsars [PDF]
We examine the propagation of 2-dimensional relativistic jets through the stellar progenitor in the collapsar model for gamma-ray bursts. In agreement with previous studies, we find that relativistic jets are collimated by their passage through the stellar mantle.

Recollimation shocks in relativistic jets
Recollimation shocks (RS) appear associated with relativistic flows propagating through pressure mismatched atmospheres. Astrophysical scenarios invoking the presence of such shocks include jets from AGNs and X-ray binaries and GRBs.
