MAIN SCIENTIFIC RESULTS FROM THE US-RUSSIA COLLABORATION

There are major unsolved problems in astrophysics where the magnetic field plays a crucial role: accretion processes with magnetic field, formation and propagation of extragalactic and stellar jets, and accretion to magnetized stars. Understanding these problems and their observational consequences requires combined theoretical analysis and numerical simulations using the complete system of magnetohydrodynamical (MHD) equations in two and three dimensions. In this collaboration, the common efforts of astrophysicists and mathematicians from two Russian Academy of Science Institutes and Cornell University are brought together in a collaborative effort to solve a number of complicated and important MHD problems.

Wind Accretion to the Dipole:

	Spherical Bondi accretion
	Magnetic inhibition of accretion and observability of IONS
	Bondi - Hoyle accretion
	Accretion in the "propeller" regime

Disk Accretion to the Dipole:

	Accretion to Misaligned Dipole
	Analysis of Funnel Flows
	Disk accretion in the "propeller" regime
	Hot Spots on the Star
	Radiative Shock

The Origin of Astrophysical Jets

Theory of Accretion Disks:

	Counterrotating accretion disks
	Theory of magnetized advection dominated accretion flows
