Abstract

Observations using the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) and the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) will address gaps in our understanding of astrophysical disks, jets and outflows from young stellar objects, evolved stars and black holes. ALMA & the VLA will achieve high resolution to map small-scale structure in jets and accretion disks allowing us to explore how material is lifted off the disk and collimated into ionized jets. ALMA will also recover even the most extended emission in large-scale out-flowing molecular material, allowing a detailed study of hydrodynamic mixing and dust formation. This paper highlights those features of the ALMA & VLA telescopes that will contribute to our understanding of astrophysical jets and disks and presents new observations that demonstrate the power of these instruments.
