IRAS 04325+2402ABC: A TRIPLE SYSTEM OF PROTOSTELLAR OBJECTS IS SPATIALLY RESOLVED BY THE SUBMILLIMETER ARRAY
Main Article Content
Abstract
IRAS 04325+2402 is a protostellar system consisting of two objects AB and C. However, the double structure of object AB speculated as a binary system has still been a subject of debate. This paper presents the Submillimeter Array archival observations at millimeter wavelengths of this protostellar system. All three components A, B, and C are detected and spatially resolved, confirming the previously observed double structure as a binary system. In addition, the mass of the circumstellar reservoir (gas and dust) around these three components is also estimated.
