Scientific paper

In this work we present numerical models of the collapse and fragmentation of slowly rotating (η≈ 0.037), thermally supercritical (α≈ 0.36), molecular cloud cores, including the effects of magnetic support, ambipolar diffusion and a tidal interaction due to a gravitational encounter with another protostar. The magnetic forces delay the onset of dynamic collapse and hence of fragmentation by an amount that depends on the initial central mass-to-flux ratio. The results show that the models are susceptible to fragment into binary systems and in some cases into triple and quadruple systems depending on the intensity of the magnetic support and the tidal interaction.
