Table 1

Stellar (M_⋆), envelope (M_env), and disk (M_d) masses for the three simulations.

Model	M _⋆	M _env	Ω	λ	M _d	R _d
	[M_⊙]	[M_⊙]	[s^-1]		[M_⊙]	[AU]

3D MHD RSD	0.38	0.29	10^-13	10	0.06	250–300
3D MHD no RSD	0.24	0.35	10^-13	10	0.13^*	...
2D RSD	0.35	0.32	10^-13	...	0.04	65

Notes. R_d is the extent of the rotationally supported disk for each simulation.

^(*)

Mass of pseudo-disk is the sum of the regions with number densities n_H2> 10^7.5 cm^-3; no radius is tabulated for this case.
