Scientific paper

An investigation of the possibility of fragmentation in collapsing isothermal magnetic gas clouds threaded by initially uniform magnetic fields is presented. The three-dimensional numerical method developed and tested by Phillips and Monaghan (1985) was used. No evidence of fragmentation was found during the first 1.5 - 2.0 free-fall times of collapse of an initially uniform magnetic gas cloud for 0.06 < α < 0.95 and 0.006 < γ < 0.6. This was independent of whether the initial density was uniform or contained quite strong density perturbations.
