We present sensitive, high angular resolution ($sim$ 0.2 arcsec) submillimeter continuum and line observations of IRAS 16293-2422B made with the Atacama Large Millimeter/Submillimeter Array (ALMA). The 0.45 mm continuum observations reveal a single and very compact source associated with IRAS 16293-2422B. This submillimeter source has a deconvolved angular size of about 400 {it milli-arcseconds} (50 AU), and does not show any inner structure inside of this diameter. The H$^{13}$CN, HC$^{15}$N, and CH$_{3}$OH line emission regions are about twice as large as the continuum emission and reveal a pronounced inner depression or hole with a size comparable to that estimated for the submillimeter continuum. We suggest that the presence of this inner depression and the fact that we do not see inner structure (or a flat structure) in the continuum is produced by very optically thick dust located in the innermost parts of IRAS 16293-2422B. All three lines also show pronounced inverse P-Cygni profiles with infall and dispersion velocities larger than those recently reported from observations at lower frequencies, suggesting that we are detecting faster, and more turbulent gas located closer to the central object. Finally, we report a small east-west velocity gradient in IRAS 16293-2422B that suggests that its disk plane is likely located very close to the plane of the sky.

We present ALMA and VLA observations of the molecular and ionized gas at 0.1-0.3 arcsec resolution in the Class 0 protostellar system IRAS 16293-2422. These data clarify the origins of the protostellar outflows from the deeply embedded sources in thi
s complex region. Source A2 is confirmed to be at the origin of the well known large scale north-east--south-west flow. The most recent VLA observations reveal a new ejection from that protostar, demonstrating that it drives an episodic jet. The central compact part of the other known large scale flow in the system, oriented roughly east-west, is well delineated by the CO(6-5) emission imaged with ALMA and is confirmed to be driven from within component A. Finally, a one-sided blueshifted bubble-like outflow structure is detected here for the first time from source B to the north-west of the system. Its very short dynamical timescale (~ 200 yr), low velocity, and moderate collimation support the idea that source B is the youngest object in the system, and possibly one of the youngest protostars known.
We report high spatial resolution VLA observations of the low-mass star-forming region IRAS 16293-2422 using four molecular probes: ethyl cyanide (CH$_3$CH$_2$CN), methyl formate (CH$_3$OCHO), formic acid (HCOOH), and the ground vibrational state of
silicon monoxide (SiO). Ethyl cyanide emiss ion has a spatial scale of $sim20$ and encompasses binary cores A and B as determined by continuum emission peaks. Surrounded by formic acid emission, methyl formate emission has a spatial scale of $sim6$and is confined to core B. SiO emission shows two velocity components with spatial scales less than 2$$ that map $sim2$ northeast of the A and B symmetry axis. The redshifted SiO is $sim2$ northwest of blueshifted SiO along a position angle of $sim135^o$ which is approximately parallel to the A and B symmetry axis. We interpret the spatial position offset in red and blueshifted SiO emission as due to rotation of a protostellar accretion disk and we derive $sim$1.4 M$_{odot}$ interior to the SiO emission. In the same vicinity, Mundy et al. (1986) also concluded rotation of a nearly edge-on disk from OVRO observations of much stronger and ubiquitous $^{13}$CO emission but the direction of rotation is opposite to the SiO emission findings. Taken together, SiO and $^{13}$CO data suggest evidence for a counter-rotating disk. Moreover, archival BIMA array $^{12}$CO data show an inverse P Cygni profile with the strongest absorption in close proximity to the SiO emission, indicating unambiguous material infall toward the counter-rotating protostellar disk at a new source location within the IRAS 16293-2422 complex. The details of these observations and our interpretations are discussed.
The low mass protostar IRAS 16293$-$2422 is a well-known young stellar system that is observed in the L1689N molecular cloud in the constellation of Ophiuchus. In the interstellar medium and solar system bodies, water is a necessary species for the f
ormation of life. We present the spectroscopic detection of the rotational emission line of water (H$_{2}$O) vapour from the low mass protostar IRAS 16293$-$2422 using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) band 5 observation. The emission line of H$_{2}$O is detected at frequency $ u$ = 183.310 GHz with transition J=3$_{1,3}$$-$2$_{2,2}$. The statistical column density of the emission line of water vapour is $N$(H$_{2}$O) = 4.2$times$10$^{16}$ cm$^{-2}$ with excitation temperature ($T_{ex}$) = 124$pm$10 K. The fractional abundance of H$_{2}$O with respect to H$_{2}$ is 1.44$times$10$^{-7}$ where $N$(H$_{2}$) = 2.9$times$10$^{23}$ cm$^{-2}$.
We present high-resolution (~ 35 au) ALMA Band 6 1.3 mm dust polarization observations of IRAS 16293. These observations spatially resolve the dust polarization across the two protostellar sources and toward the filamentary structures between them. T
he dust polarization and inferred magnetic field have complicated structures throughout the region. In particular, we find that the magnetic field is aligned parallel to three filamentary structures. We characterize the physical properties of the filamentary structure that bridges IRAS 16293A and IRAS 16293B and estimate a magnetic field strength of 23-78 mG using the Davis-Chandrasekhar-Fermi method. We construct a toy model for the bridge material assuming that the young stars dominate the mass and gravitational potential of the system. We find that the expected gas flow to each star is of comparable order to the Alfven speed, which suggests that the field may be regulating the gas flow. We also find that the bridging material should be depleted in ~ 1000 yr. If the bridge is part of the natal filament that formed the stars, then it must have accreted new material. Alternatively, the bridge could be a transient structure. Finally, we show that the 1.3 mm polarization morphology of the optically thick IRAS 16293B system is qualitatively similar to dust self-scattering. Based on similar polarization measurements at 6.9 mm, we propose that IRAS 16293B has produced a substantial population of large dust grains with sizes between 200 and 2000 um.
Young massive stars warm up the large amount of gas and dust which condenses in their vicinity, exciting a forest of lines from different molecular species. Their line brightness is a diagnostic tool of the gas physical conditions locally, which we u
se to set constraints on the environment where massive stars form. We made use of the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array at frequencies near 349 GHz, with an angular resolution of $0.1$, to observe the methyl cyanide (CH$_3$CN) emission which arises from the accretion disk of a young massive star. We sample the disk midplane with twelve distinct beams, where we get an independent measure of the gas (and dust) physical conditions. The accretion disk extends above the midplane showing a double-armed spiral morphology projected onto the plane of the sky, which we sample with ten additional beams: along these apparent spiral features, gas undergoes velocity gradients of about $rm 1 km s^{-1}$ per 2000 au. The gas temperature (T) rises symmetrically along each side of the disk, from about 98 K at 3000 au to 289 K at 250 au, following a power law with radius, R$^{-0.43}$. The CH$_3$CN column density (N) increases from $rm 9.2times10^{15} cm^{-2}$ to $rm 8.7times10^{17} cm^{-2}$ at the same radii, following a power law with radius, R$^{-1.8}$. In the framework of a circular gaseous disk observed approximately edge-on, we infer an H$_2$ volume density in excess of $rm 4.8times10^9 cm^{-3}$ at a distance of 250 au from the star. We study the disk stability against fragmentation following the methodology by Kratter et al. (2010), appropriate under rapid accretion, and we show that the disk is marginally prone to fragmentation along its whole extent.
