Scientific paper

We investigate the development of Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities in magnetized jets by means of high-resolution spatial simulations. Our main finding is the existence of a stabilizing mechanism driven by the initial disruption of the jet. This mechanism gives rise to a local amplification of the magnetic field, which in turn leads to an enhanced stability of the jet configuration.
