Chemical and kinematic complexity of the very young star-forming region Serpens Main observed with ALMA

Łukasz Tychoniec, Charles L. H. Hull, John J. Tobin +1

The youngest low-mass protostars are known to be chemically rich, accreting matter most vigorously, and producing the most powerful outflows. Molecules are unique tracers of these…
