The influence of magnetic fields on star formation
Abstract
Numerical simulations suggest that colliding molecular clouds induce gravitational collapse and may be responsible for star formation. We incorporate magnetic fields in these simulations and present preliminary results of an investigation of the influence of magnetic fields on star formation via this process.
