The nonlinear evolution of a self-gravitating magnetized plasma is examined using a magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulation code. The initial configurations are self-consistent two-dimensional solutions of the magnetohydrostatic (MHS) equations, including self-gravitation. These solutions are known to be unstable in the ideal MHD limit without self-gravitation due to the coalescence instability. Our results are relevant for structure forming processes which are determined by the combined interaction of gravitational and magnetic fields such as cloud collisions in the interstellar medium or clump collisions inside magnetized molecular clouds.
