Scientific paper

Cold, magnetically supported disklike clouds are evolutionary precursors
of protostars. Magnetic tension balances self-gravity in these systems,
so the magnetic field lines kink as they cross the disk. Despite this
strong magnetic curvature, these disks turn out to be marginally stable
to self-gravitating perturbations which preserve the plane of the disk.
