Magnetic fields may be the secret behind binary star formation
SMRTR summary
Magnetic fields may be the hidden force behind how binary star systems form so quickly. Simulations show that magnetic fields strip away angular momentum from two growing protostars, pulling them closer together. This same mechanism could also explain how massive black hole pairs eventually merge to form supermassive black holes.
