Density-weighted projections along the angular momentum vector of the star-forming disk, showing how mass inflows are impacted by magnetic fields and turbulence. From left to right, the panels show the divergence of the gas velocity field, turbulent Mach number, magnetic field strength, and the ratio of gas pressure over magnetic field pressure through plasma β. Negative values of ∇ ∙ υ indicate net inflow or compression of gas. M > 1 indicates supersonic turbulence and plasma β < 1 indicates that the magnetic field is dominant compared to thermal pressure.
