Evolution of self-gravitating magnetized disks. II- Interaction between MHD turbulence and gravitational instabilities

We present 3D magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) numerical simulations of the evolution of self--gravitating and weakly magnetized disks with an adiabatic equation of state. Such disks are subject to the development of both the magnetorotational and gravitational instabilities, which transport angular moment...
