AbstractWe investigate self-similar magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) processes in an isothermal self-gravitating fluid with a quasi-spherical symmetry and extend the envelope expansion with core collapse (EECC) solutions of Lou & Shen by incorporating a random magnetic field. Stagnation surfaces of EECC solutions that seperate core collapse and envelope expansion propagate at constant speeds either sub-magnetosonically or super-magnetosonically. Crossing the magnetosonic line twice analytically, there exists an infinite number of discrete magnetized EECC and ECCC solutions. In addition to the EECC shock solution which could change the central accretion rate, the magnetic field can also affect the core accretion rate. As the magnetic parameter $lambda$ increases, the core accretion rate appropriate for the MHD EWCS becomes larger. Under the frozen-in approximation, magnetic fields in the envelope expansion portion would scale as $Bpropto r^{-1}$, while in the core collapse portion they would scale as $Bpropto r^{-1/2}$. We discuss several astrophysical applications of EECC similarity solutions to the formation process of proto-planetary nebulae connecting the AGB phase and the planetary nebula, to supernova remnants, collapse of magnetized molecular cloud, to $ extrm{H} { extrm{small{II}}}$ clouds surrounding massive OB stars and to a certain evolution phase of galaxy clusters.
