Astrophysical jets are a ubiquitous and powerful phenomenon in astronomy. Their emission ranges over a wide scale, from young stellar objects (YSO) to super-massive black holes (SMBH) and Active Galactic Nucleii (AGN). Jets are believed to play a central role in regulating protostellar and black hole mass-accretion as well galaxy growth via AGN feedback; despite their importance, their dr…
Outflows from high-mass young stellar objects (HMYSOs) play a critical role in the formation of massive stars, yet their driving mechanisms remain poorly understood. Various models-ranging from magneto-centrifugal winds to radiation and ionization-driven flows-predict different outflow morphologies (e.g., narrow vs. wide bases, single vs. multiple components), collimation degrees, and mom…
Understanding the formation and collimation of relativistic jets in active galactic nuclei (AGN) remains one of the central challenges in high-energy astrophysics. This PhD project aims to probe the immediate environments of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) through high-resolution radio interferometry, combining state-of-the-art observations from the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT), the Glo…
Outflows from high-mass young stellar objects (HMYSOs) are key components of high-mass star formation (HMSF), but the mechanisms responsible for launching and shaping these flows remain poorly constrained. Competing models - such as magneto-centrifugal disk winds, ionization-driven outflows, and radiation pressure - predict different morphologies, velocity structures, and magnetic field c…
Outflows from massive young stellar objects (HMYSOs) play an important role in high-mass star formation (HMSF), but their driving mechanism is poorly understood. Various driving mechanisms have been proposed, including magneto-centrifugal processes, ionization pressure, and stellar radiation. The latter result in different morphologies (e.g. wide vs. narrow base, single vs. multiple disti…
Astrophysical jets are energetic phenomena that are very present in astronomy. Their emission covers different scales, from young stars to supermassive black holes and active cores of galaxies. Jets are believed to play a central role in controlling mass accretion in protostars and black holes, as well as galaxy growth via AGN feedback; despite their importance, their formation mechanism …
