+A strong magnetic field leads to more sink particles forming by the end of the simulation compared to the hydro case, but at slightly later times.
+
+A weak field case tends to just delay the formation of sinks, but doesn't seem to enhance the number of sinks that form.
+
+This trend holds for both the Shear 15 and Shear 30 cases.
+
+In contrast, the Shear 60 cases do not make sinks, except for the weak field case that makes 1 by the end of the sim.
