We study the 2-D, time-dependent hydrodynamics of radiation-driven winds from accretion disks in which the radiation force is mediated by spectral lines. If the dominant contribution to the total radiation field comes from the disk, then we find the outflow is intrinsically unsteady and characterised by large amplitude velocity and density changes. Both infall and outflow can occur in different regions of the wind at the same time. On the other hand, if the total luminosity of the system is dominated by the central star, then the outflow is steady. In either case, we find the 2-D structure of the wind consists of a dense, slow outflow, typically confined to angles within about 45$^o$ of the equatorial plane, that is bounded on the polar side by a high -velocity, lower density stream. The flow geometry is controlled largely by the geometry of the radiation field. Global properties e.g., the total mass loss rate and terminal velocity depend more on the system luminosity and are insensitive to geometry. Matter is fed into the fast wind from within a few stellar radii of the central star. Our solutions agree qualitatively with the kinematics of outflows in CV systems inferred from spectroscopic observations. We predict that low luminosity systems may display unsteady behavior in wind-formed spectral lines. Our study also has application to winds from active galactic nuclei and from high mass YSOs.

We study temporal variability of radiation driven winds using one dimensional, time dependent simulations and an extension of the classic theory of line driven winds developed by Castor Abbott and Klein. We drive the wind with a sinusoidally varying
radiation field and find that after a relaxation time, determined by the propagation time for waves to move out of the acceleration zone of the wind, the solution settles into a periodic state. Winds driven at frequencies much higher than the dynamical frequency behave like stationary winds with time averaged radiation flux whereas winds driven at much lower frequencies oscillate between the high and low flux stationary states. Most interestingly, we find a resonance frequency near the dynamical frequency which results in velocity being enhanced or suppressed by a factor comparable to the amplitude of the flux variation. Whether the velocity is enhanced or suppressed depends on the relative phase between the radiation and the dynamical variables. These results suggest that a time-varying radiation source can induce density and velocity perturbations in the acceleration zones of line driven winds.
We show that with the wind/jet activity, the spectral index of hard X-ray is changed in galactic microquasars. When mass loss takes place, the spectrum becomes softer and when mass gain takes place, the spectrum becomes harder. We present examples of such changes in GRS1915+105.
An observational review is provided of the properties of accretion disks around young stars. It concerns the primordial disks of intermediate- and high-mass young stellar objects in embedded and optically revealed phases. The properties were derived
from spatially resolved observations and therefore predominantly obtained with interferometric means, either in the radio/(sub)millimeter or in the optical/infrared wavelength regions. We make summaries and comparisons of the physical properties, kinematics, and dynamics of these circumstellar structures and delineate trends where possible. Amongst others, we report on a quadratic trend of mass accretion rates with mass from T Tauri stars to the highest mass young stellar objects and on the systematic difference in mass infall and accretion rates.
Ultra Fast Outflows (UFOs) are an established feature in X-ray spectra of AGNs. According to the standard picture, they are launched at accretion disc scales with relativistic velocities, up to 0.3-0.4 c. Their high kinetic power is enough to induce
an efficient feedback on galactic-scale, possibly contributing to the co-evolution between the central supermassive black hole (SMBH) and the host galaxy. It is therefore of paramount importance to fully understand the UFO physics, in particular the forces driving their acceleration and the relation with the accretion flow they originate from. In this paper we investigate the impact of special relativity effects on the radiative pressure exerted onto the outflow. The radiation received by the wind decreases for increasing outflow velocity v, implying that the standard Eddington limit argument has to be corrected according to v. Due to the limited ability of the radiation to counteract the SMBH gravity, we expect to find lower typical velocities with respect to the non-relativistic scenario. We integrate the relativistic-corrected outflow equation of motion for a realistic set of starting conditions. We concentrate on UFO typical values of ionisation, column density and launching radius. We explore a one-dimensional, spherical geometry and a 3D setting with a rotating thin accretion disc. We find that the inclusion of relativistic effects leads to sizeable differences in the wind dynamics and that v is reduced up to 50% with respect to the non-relativistic treatment. We compare our results with a sample of UFO from the literature, and we find that the relativistic-corrected velocities are systematically lower than the reported ones, indicating the need for an additional mechanism, such as magnetic driving, to explain the highest velocity components. These conclusions, derived for AGN winds, have a general applicability.
We perform GR-MHD simulations of outflow launching from thin accretion disks. As in the non-relativistic case, resistivity is essential for the mass loading of the disk wind. We implemented resistivity in the ideal GR-MHD code HARM3D, extending previ
ous works (Qian et al. 2017, 2018) for larger physical grids, higher spatial resolution, and longer simulation time. We consider an initially thin, resistive disk orbiting the black hole, threaded by a large-scale magnetic flux. As the system evolves, outflows are launched from the black hole magnetosphere and the disk surface. We mainly focus on disk outflows, investigating their MHD structure and energy output in comparison with the Poynting-dominated black hole jet. The disk wind encloses two components -- a fast component dominated by the toroidal magnetic field and a slower component dominated by the poloidal field. The disk wind transitions from sub to super-Alfvenic speed, reaching velocities $simeq 0.1c$. We provide parameter studies varying spin parameter and resistivity level, and measure the respective mass and energy fluxes. A higher spin strengthens the $B_{phi}$-dominated disk wind along the inner jet. We disentangle a critical resistivity level that leads to a maximum matter and energy output for both, resulting from the interplay between re-connection and diffusion, which in combination govern the magnetic flux and the mass loading. For counter-rotating black holes the outflow structure shows a magnetic field reversal. We estimate the opacity of the inner-most accretion stream and the outflow structure around it. This stream may be critically opaque for a lensed signal, while the axial jet funnel remains optically thin.
