Temporal evolution of the circumstellar disk of run NIMHD (black curves), compared with its hydro counterpart (orange curves; from Ahmad et al. 2024). The green curves are a zoom-out, branched from run NIMHD and run at a lower resolution with ℓ_max = 24 (see Sect. 2.2). Panels (a), (b), (c), and (d) respectively display as a function of the disk’s equatorial radius R_d the density measured at the disk’s equatorial shock front (obtained through ray-tracing), the mass of the disk, the mass of the protostar, and the disk’s specific angular momentum. Panel (e) displays R_d as a function of time, where t = 0 marks the moment of birth of the disk. Panel (f) displays the specific angular momentum of the gas within 1 AU found inside the disk (solid and dashed lines) and outside the disk (dotted lines) as a function of time since the birth of the disk.
