contents We extend the co-scaling formalism of Habegger & Heitsch (2021) implemented in Athena++ to magneto-hydrodynamics. The formalism relies on flow symmetries in astrophysical problems involving expansion, contraction, and center-of-mass motion. The formalism is fully consistent with the upwind constrained transport method implemented in Athena++ and is accurate to 2nd order in space. Applying our implementation to standard magneto-hydrodynamic test cases leads to improved results and higher efficiency, compared to the fixed-grid solutions.
