On the collimation properties of jets with finite Poynting flux launched from Keplerian accretion discs

Abstract It is generally accepted that the launching of astrophysical jets requires a large-scale magnetic field threading a central object (black hole or star) and/or its surrounding accretion disc. However, the collimation mechanism far away from the central object has not yet...
