Radiative feedback and magnetic field are understood to have a strong impact on the protostellar collapse. We present high resolution numerical calculations of the collapse of a 1 solar mass dense core in solid body rotation, including both radiative transfer and magnetic field. Using typical parameters for low-mass cores, we study thoroughly the effect of radiative transfer and magnetic field on the first core formation and fragmentation. We show that including the two aforementioned physical processes does not correspond to the simple picture of adding them separately. The interplay between the two is extremely strong, via the magnetic braking and the radiation from the accretion shock.
