​Magnetically Regulated Star Formation in Three Dimensions: The Case of the Taurus Molecular Cloud Complex, Nakamura, Fumitaka; Li, Zhi-Yun
Model strong fields + diffuse clouds, motivated by observations of Taurus & Pipe Nebula which show large scale ordered fields that run perpendicular to diffuse elongated clouds. Sims include ambipolar diffusion and outflow feedback. Find that stars begin to form once clouds are marginally ​magnetically critical. However, only a small portion of the nearly magnetically critical material is forming stars - about ~1% of the gas ​per local free-fall time. The regulation of the SF in these regions seems to be due to magnetic fields rather than turbulence, as these regions are only marginally supersonic. Notable figures ​here, more notes ​here
