The pith
A machine-rendered reading of the paper's core claim, the machinery that carries it, and where it could break.
The reading
What carries the argument
The machinery is a two-stage zoom-in simulation pipeline built on the moving-mesh code AREPO. A $(256\,\mathrm{pc})^3$ periodic box of supernova-driven turbulent interstellar medium is evolved with gravity until dense cores collapse; six well-separated cores are then re-simulated from identical initial conditions with pure hydrodynamics, ideal MHD, or ambipolar diffusion, with mass resolution down to $3.33\times10^{-7}\,\mathrm{M}_\odot$ and no sink particles, so the first and second Larson cores form explicitly. The decisive physics is the competition between magnetic braking, the removal of angular momentum by field tension and magneto-rotational outflows, and ambipolar diffusion, the slip of neutral gas past the magnetic field that resists that transport; the ambipolar diffusion coefficient comes from a chemical library table with a cosmic-ray ionization rate of $10^{-17}$ s$^{-1}$. Supporting apparatus includes an eccentricity-based disk definition (cells with orbital eccentricity $e < 0.3$ and density above $8\times10^{-14}$ g cm$^{-3}$, projected onto the rotation plane) and a Toomre $Q$ analysis with magnetic pressure added to the effective sound speed.
What would settle it
Decisive test one: re-simulate the six zoom-in cores with the physical, uncapped ambipolar diffusion coefficient, adding Ohmic dissipation and cosmic-ray attenuation; if three or more of the six cores then form disks larger than 10 au, the 'two of six' statistic and the claim that ambipolar diffusion does not guarantee a disk would need revision. Decisive test two: re-simulate any single core in ideal MHD from an earlier zoom-in start, without the volume limit, at higher resolution; a rotationally supported disk larger than 10 au already present at second-core formation would refute the claim that ideal MHD prevents disk birth, and the paper's own Appendix C tests currently find no such disk.
Extended reading notes
Core claim
The central claim is that the magnetic field treatment, not the initial core properties, decides whether a protostar has a disk at birth. In all six zoom-in cores the purely hydrodynamical runs form rotationally supported disks of roughly 10-100 au before the second core appears, while every ideal MHD run ends with a nearly spherical hydrostatic core and no disk above about 10 au, even though these cores are irregular, shock-shaped, and carry magnetic fields misaligned with their rotation, conditions previously thought to bypass the magnetic braking catastrophe. With ambipolar diffusion the outcome splits: cores n1 and n6 form large disks with rotation speeds above 1 km s$^{-1}$ extending past 100 au, spiral substructure, and Toomre $Q < 1$, while the other four cores remain diskless. The mechanism the authors identify is the magneto-rotational outflow: wherever outflows carry away sufficient angular momentum, disk formation is shut off, and ambipolar diffusion enables disks precisely by weakening those outflows and letting the magnetic flux diffuse outward in the inner few au. The paper extends this to a stark statement: if ideal MHD were a good description of reality, stars would never be born with a disk, although disks might still assemble later, beyond the simulated epoch.
Load-bearing premise
The paper caps the ambipolar diffusion coefficient so that the non-ideal magnetic effect is weaker than the real physical effect, and if that cap were removed, more than two of the six cores might form large disks and the central 'two out of six' statistic would change.
Editorial extensions
If this is right
- The magnetic braking catastrophe survives realistic turbulence: ideal MHD suppresses disks above about 10 au at stellar birth in all six cores, so the suppression is not an artifact of idealized aligned rotators.
- Non-ideal MHD does not guarantee a disk; the two-of-six outcome means disk presence at birth depends on core geometry interacting with ambipolar diffusion.
- Magneto-rotational outflows are the angular-momentum valve: where they are strong they prevent rotationally supported disks, and ambipolar diffusion's main disk-enabling effect is to weaken them.
- Disks that do form early are large and gravitationally unstable, with $Q < 1$ in spiral arms, so fragmentation and complex substructure can begin at birth.
- The diversity among six cores, from diskless births to 100 au grand-design disks with nested second disks around the stellar core, implies observations of the youngest protostars should find a wide range of disk sizes and morphologies.
Reading between the lines
- Because the code caps the ambipolar diffusion coefficient at a fraction of the ideal-MHD timestep, making the non-ideal effect weaker than the modeled physics, the two-in-six figure is best read as a lower bound on how often ambipolar diffusion enables early disks; including Ohmic dissipation, the Hall effect, and cosmic-ray attenuation could push the count higher.
- The paper switches ambipolar diffusion on only at the zoom-in stage; evolving the driving and tracing phases with non-ideal MHD as well could change which cores are selected and how their fields are oriented, possibly shifting the disk statistics from the outset.
- A direct observational consequence, implicit but untested here, is a population of genuinely diskless births: very young Class 0 protostars in strongly magnetized clouds with no detectable rotationally supported structure would be the signature of the ideal-MHD-like outcome the paper predicts for a subset of cores.
- If early disks are required for subsequent planet formation, the paper's result implies that the planet-forming potential of a star is partly set by the magnetic microphysics (ionization, grain properties) of its natal core, not just by core mass and angular momentum.
Editorial analysis
A structured set of objections, weighed in public.
Referee Report
Summary. The paper presents zoom-in simulations that start from a (256 pc)^3 supernova-driven turbulent ISM and follow six prestellar cores down to the formation of the second Larson core, comparing pure hydrodynamics, ideal MHD, and ambipolar diffusion. The main qualitative findings are that the hydro runs form rotationally supported disks of roughly 10-100 au, that ideal MHD suppresses such disks by the time of second-core formation, and that ambipolar diffusion allows large disks in two of the six cores while generally weakening outflows. The paper also reports magnetically driven outflows, strong magnetic field growth to >10 G in the first cores, Toomre Q<1 spiral structure in the disks that do form, and streamer-like anisotropic accretion. The authors conclude that non-ideal MHD is required for early disk formation in realistic turbulent environments and, in the final paragraph, state that if ideal MHD were a good description of reality, 'stars would never be born with a disk'.
Significance. If the qualitative result holds, this is a valuable demonstration that ideal-MHD magnetic braking suppresses early disk formation in a realistic multi-scale ISM context, beyond the idealized aligned-collapse setups that motivated the 'magnetic braking catastrophe' debate. The study's strengths are its dynamic range (256 pc to ~10^-4 au), the matched six-core comparison across three magnetic treatments, the resolved first and second Larson cores without sink particles in the zoom-in, and the additional robustness runs in Appendix C. The morphology and outflow diagnostics, the Toomre analysis of the two AD disks, and the streamer rendering in n6 are concrete, falsifiable contributions. The main weakness is that the paper's headline universal claim is not supported by its own stated sample-size caveat and by the acknowledged existence of later-time disks in ideal MHD from previous work; the global claim should therefore be separated from the sample-level result.
major comments (4)
- [Section 8; Section 7] The concluding statement that 'stars would never be born with a disk' under ideal MHD is a universal negative that is not supported by the simulation sample. Section 7 explicitly says the six-core sample is not statistically significant and 'precluding us from drawing very general conclusions', and it acknowledges that longer-term ideal-MHD studies (Kuffmeier et al. 2017; Yang & Federrath 2025) find disks forming later. Since the paper also says it cannot follow evolution beyond second-core formation, the final conclusion should be reworded to a statement about early disk formation in this sample, or the authors must supply evidence that the six cores are representative of all protostellar collapse geometries.
- [Abstract; Table 3] The abstract's claim that there are 'no disks larger than 10 au with ideal MHD' is quantitatively contradicted by Table 3, where simulation i1 has R_eff = 11 au, and Section 5.3 similarly notes that region 1 is the exception with disk material in the ideal-MHD run. The abstract should say 'about 10 au' or the i1 disk-size measurement must be re-examined, since this threshold is the paper's central quantitative result.
- [Section 2.3, Eq. (6); Appendix C] The cap on the ambipolar diffusion coefficient, eta_AD < (1/f_ni) c_s r with f_ni = 0.125, makes the non-ideal scheme weaker than the physical effect, as the paper states, and the lack of cosmic-ray attenuation further weakens AD. The conclusion that AD 'does not guarantee' a disk rests on the 2/6 statistic, and the only uncapped test is described inconsistently: Section 5.4 says 'in the case of n5', while the Appendix C text and Figure C1 caption refer to 'n6'. This test is the key evidence that the cap is not decisive, so the run identity must be corrected and the dependence of the 2/6 statistic on the cap should be discussed or tested more broadly.
- [Section 2.2, Eq. (5)] The barotropic equation of state is a fit to the densest fluid element in Wurster et al. (2018a) and, as the paper itself states, 'systematically underestimates the temperature of any material that collapses later, which includes the entire protostellar disk'. Because the disk temperature enters the pressure support and the Toomre Q analysis, the quantitative disk sizes, spiral-structure, and gravitational-instability claims are affected. The paper should either quantify the effect of this EOS choice or temper the quantitative conclusions that depend on it.
minor comments (5)
- [Section 5.4] The sentence 'it can then no longer amplify effectively ans is even diffused' contains a typo; it should read 'and is even diffused'.
- [Figure C1; Appendix C] The bottom-left panel is labeled 'n6' in the figure caption but is called 'n5_nolim' in the main text and in the Appendix text; the naming should be made consistent.
- [Section 2.2; Eq. (5)] The cooling prescription uses a mean molecular weight of mu = 1.4, while Eq. (5) uses mu ≈ 2.381; the paper should state explicitly that the two values correspond to different physical regimes.
- [Section 3.3] The text says the runs are continued 'until the formation of the second core', but n6 is stopped before that; this is explained later in the same paragraph, so the sentence should be adjusted for internal consistency.
- [Figure 19] The lower panels of Figure 19 repeat '(as y-axis)' in the axis labels, which is confusing; these should be replaced with proper distance labels.
Circularity Check
No significant circularity: the disk statistics emerge from self-contained MHD simulations; cited prior work is methodological, and the universal 'never' phrasing is an acknowledged generalization overreach, not a by-construction reduction.
full rationale
The paper's central result—that ideal MHD suppresses disks larger than ~10 au at second-core formation while ambipolar diffusion allows such disks in two of six cores—is an emergent outcome of solving the ideal/non-ideal MHD equations (Eq. 1) with standard subgrid physics, not a quantity fitted to or defined by the input parameters. The ambipolar diffusion coefficient cap (Eq. 6, f_ni = 0.125) is a numerical timestep restriction, explicitly stated to make the non-ideal scheme weaker than physical, and the paper does not tune it to produce the disk statistics; Appendix C's n5_nolim runs remove the cap and add Ohmic diffusion yet still find no disk, so the non-disk outcome is not forced by the cap. The self-citations (Mayer et al. 2025 for the barotropic EOS of Eq. 5 and the NICIL chemistry table; Zier et al. 2024a,b for the AREPO non-ideal MHD implementation) are code and method references, not load-bearing evidence for the disk-size conclusion, and the EOS itself is a fit to external radiative calculations of Wurster et al. (2018a). The only concern the manuscript itself raises is statistical and logical generality: Section 7 states the sample is 'not statistically significant... precluding us from drawing very general conclusions,' and the final paragraph qualifies the 'never born with a disk' statement with 'even though they might still form later, which is beyond the scope of our study.' These are inference-strength and sample-representativeness caveats, not circularity by construction. No equation or parameter in the paper reduces to the target disk statistics, so no circular step is present.

abstract
We present simulations of the supernova-driven turbulent interstellar medium (ISM) in a simulation domain of volume $(256\,{\rm pc})^3$ within which we resolve the formation of protostellar accretion disks and their stellar cores to spatial scales of $\sim 10^{-4}$ au, using the moving-mesh code {\small AREPO}. We perform simulations with no magnetic fields, ideal magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) and ambipolar diffusion, and compare the resulting first Larson cores and their associated structures, including the accretion disks, their location within the larger-scale structure and the streamers connecting these. We find that disks of sizes $10-100\,{\rm au}$ form early in the simulations without magnetic fields, while there are no disks larger than 10 au with ideal MHD. Ambipolar diffusion causes large disks to form in a subset of cases (two out of six cores), and generally reduces the strength of outflows, which are seen to play a central role. When they are able to carry away significant angular momentum, they prevent the formation of a rotationally supported disk. Magnetic fields strengths grow from $0.1 - 1$ mG in the protostellar core to more than 10 G in the first Larson core in all simulations with ideal MHD. The rotationally supported disks which form can have rotation speeds $> 1$ km s$^{-1}$ even out to further than 100 au from the centre, become gravitationally unstable and form complex spiral substructures with Toomre $Q < 1$. We conclude that the impact of magnetic fields and non-ideal MHD on the formation of protostellar disks is substantial in realistic formation scenarios from the turbulent ISM.
