Abstract
We present the first results from SPHINX-MHD, a suite of cosmological
radiation-magnetohydrodynamics simulations designed to study the impact of
primordial magnetic fields (PMFs) on galaxy formation and the evolution of the
intergalactic medium during the epoch of reionization. The simulations are
among the first to employ multi-frequency, on-the-fly radiation transfer and
constrained transport ideal MHD in a cosmological context to simultaneously
model the inhomogeneous process of reionization as well as the growth of PMFs.
We run a series of
