We present ALMA 12-m, 7-m & Total Power (TP) Array observations of the FU Orionis outbursting system, covering spatial scales ranging from 160 to 25,000 au. The high-resolution interferometric data reveals an elongated $^{12}$CO(2-1) feature previously observed at lower resolution in $^{12}$CO(3-2). Kinematic modeling indicates that this feature can be interpreted as an accretion streamer feeding the binary system. The mass infall rate provided by the streamer is significantly lower than the typical stellar accretion rates (even in quiescent states), suggesting that this streamer alone is not massive enough to sustain the enhanced accretion rates characteristic of the outbursting class prototype. The observed streamer may not be directly linked to the current outburst but rather a remnant of a previous, more massive streamer that may have contributed enough to the disk mass to render it unstable and trigger FU Ori's outburst. The new data detects, for the first time, a vast, slow-moving carbon monoxide molecular outflow emerging from this object. To accurately assess the outflow properties (mass, momentum, kinetic energy), we employed $^{13}$CO(2-1) data to correct for optical depth effects. The analysis indicates that the outflow corresponds to swept-up material not associated with the current outburst, similar to slow-molecular outflows observed around other FUor and Class I protostellar objects.

Planck cold clumps in the $λ$ Orionis complex: I. Discovery of an extremely young Class 0 protostellar object and a proto-brown dwarf candidate in a bright rimmed clump PGCC G192.32-11.88
我们正在用地面望远镜对$λ$ Orionis复合体中的普朗克银河系冷团(PGCC)进行一系列观测,以系统地研究恒星反馈的影响。在PGCC G192.32-11.88的特殊情况下,我们发现了一个非常年轻的0类原恒星天体(G192 N)和一个原棕矮星候选天体(G192 S)。G192 N和G192 S位于一个受重力束缚的亮边团块中。在CO同位素谱线发射中观察到的速度和温度梯度表明PGCC G192.32-11.88受到外部加热和压缩。与猎户座复合体中其他年轻的0级源(例如PACS亮红源(PBRs))相比,G192 N可能具有最低的热光度($\sim0.8$ L $_{\sun}$)和吸积速率(6.3 $\times10^{-7}$ M $_{\sun}$ ~yr $^{-1}$)。它的内部光度($0.21\pm0.01$ L $_{\sun}$)和外流速度($\sim$ 14 km~s $^{-1}$)比第一流体静力学核心(FHSC)的预测值稍大。G192 N可能是最年轻的0级源之一,比FHSC稍微进化。考虑到它的低内部光度($0.08\pm0.01$ L $_{\odot}$)和吸积速率(2.8 $\times10^{-8}$ M $_{\sun}$ ~yr $^{-1}$),G192 S是一颗理想的原棕矮星候选者。PGCC G192.32-11.88中的恒星形成效率($\sim$ …
