Magnetic fields remain aligned with projected gravity throughout the DR21 ridge and sub-filaments, indicating guided accretion at rates that can build the ridge in about one million years.

Observational study of MBM12 shows CO-to-H2 conversion factor near galactic average with density-dependent variations, high virial parameters decreasing at small scales, broken power-law mass-size relations indicating external pressure, and magnetic field orientation transition at N(H2) = 4.5e21 cm-
Oblique filament collisions lead to gravitational collapse of the compressed cloud when post-collision |gravitational energy| exceeds kinetic plus thermal plus magnetic energies, with lower angles and lower velocities favoring hub-filament formation.
High-resolution magnetic field maps of M17 SW reveal gravity-dominated energy budget with magnetic fields regulating collapse and accretion channels in a near-equipartition state.
Core-scale magnetic fields in star-forming regions are more disordered than cloud-scale fields and align randomly with core orientations and velocity gradients.
Stronger radiation environments produce more massive, hotter protostellar discs whose fragments are large and disruptive rather than planetary-mass.
High-resolution dust polarization and C18O observations in Cepheus A show gravity driving gas accretion while magnetic tension regulates turbulence, producing ordered flows at 2.1e-4 solar masses per year with coherent B-field alignment across scales.
