Magnetic fields do not suppress global star formation in low metallicity dwarf galaxies

Understand

Many studies concluded that magnetic fields suppress star formation in molecular clouds and Milky Way like galaxies.

• However, most of these studies are based on fully developed fields that have reached the saturation level, with little work on investigating how an initial weak primordial field affects star formation in low metallicity environments.
• In this paper, we investigate the impact of a weak initial field on low metallicity dwarf galaxies.
• We perform high-resolution AREPO simulations of five isolated dwarf galaxies.
