Scientific paper

Steady state models of magnetized accretion disks that power centrifugally driven outflows are presented. Self-similar solutions for Keplerian disks that are dominated by ambipolar diffusion are constructed and the analogous solutions for resistive disks are presented. In each case, it is shown that one can obtain steady state field configurations that match onto magnetically dominated, asymptotically super-Alfvenic wind solutions of the type considered by Blandford and Payne (1982). The application of these results to molecular disks associated with bipolar outflow sources is considered.
