A rather common astrophysical phenomenon is the outflow of plasma from the environment of stellar or galactic objects in the form of either an uncollimated wind, or, collimated jets. Stellar mass loss (stellar winds) has been observed from all types of stars across the Hertzsprung-Russell diagramm. Jets are observed in association with a wide spectrum of stellar or galactic objects, such as, young stellar objects, older mass losing stars and planetary nebulae, symbiotic binaries, black hole X-ray transients, low- and high-mass X-ray binaries, supersoft X-ray sources and cataclysmic variables, active galactic nuclei, blazars and possibly ã-ray bursts. In the theoretical front, we have unified winds and jets as similar magnetohydrodynamic phenomena. The combined effect of the magnetic field and rotation in the central object may produce winds from inefficient magnetic rotators and jets from efficient magnetic rotators. A very modern challenge to the theory of relativistic magnetohydrodynamics is explaining gamma-ray bursts as relativistic jetted sources.
