title = "Formation of stars and planetary systems in magnetic interstellar clouds",
abstract = "A summary is presented of the evidence, observational and theoretical, that points to the importance of magnetic fields in star formation and, in fact, in all large-scale interstellar gas dynamics. Recent theoretical advances are discussed, taking into account the formation and equilibria of diffuse interstellar clouds, nonhomologous contraction and equilibria of self-gravitating clouds, magnetic braking, and the loss of magnetic flux as a single mechanism for the formation of all binary stars. Attention is also given to the relevance of new results on the magnetic field to star formation. ",
