We present new ALMA Band 6 observations including the CO(2-1) line and 1.3 mm continuum emission from the surroundings of the young stellar object DO Tauri. The ALMA CO molecular data show three different series of rings at different radial velocities. These rings have radii around 220 au and 800 au. We make individual fits to the rings and note that their centers are aligned with DO Tauri and its optical high-velocity jet. In addition, we notice that the velocity of these structures increases with the separation from the young star. We discuss the data under the hypothesis that the rings represent velocity cuts through three outflowing shells that are possibly driven by a wide-angle wind, dragging the environment material along a direction close to the line of sight (i=19{deg}). We estimate the dynamical ages, the mass, the momentum and the energy of each individual outflow shell and those of the whole outflow. The results are in agreement with those found in outflows from Class II sources. We make a rough estimate for the size of the jet/wind launching region, which needs to be of <15 au. We report the physical characteristics of DO Tauris disk continuum emission (almost face-on and with a projected major axis in the north-south direction) and its velocity gradient orientation (north-south), indicative of disk rotation for a 1-2 Msun central star. Finally we show an HST [SII] image of the optical jet and report a measurement of its orientation in the plane of the sky.

We present sensitive and high angular resolution ($sim$0.2-0.3$$) (sub)millimeter (230 and 345 GHz) continuum and CO(2$-$1)/CO(3$-$2) line archive observations of the disk star system in UX Tauri carried out with ALMA (The Atacama Large Millimeter/Su
bmillimeter Array). These observations reveal the gas and dusty disk surrounding the young star UX Tauri A with a large signal-to-noise ratio ($>$400 in the continuum and $>$50 in the line), and for the first time is detected the molecular gas emission associated with the disk of UX Tauri C (with a size for the disk of $<$56 au). No (sub)millimeter continuum emission is detected at 5$sigma$-level (0.2 mJy at 0.85 mm) associated with UX Tauri C. For the component UX Tauri C, we estimate a dust disk mass of $leq$ 0.05 M$_oplus$. Additionally, we report a strong tidal disk interaction between both disks UX Tauri A/C, separated 360 au in projected distance. The CO line observations reveal marked spiral arms in the disk of UX Tauri A and an extended redshifted stream of gas associated with the UX Tauri C disk. No spiral arms are observed in the dust continuum emission of UX Tauri A. Assuming a Keplerian rotation we estimate the enclosed masses (disk$+$star) from their radial velocities in 1.4 $pm$ 0.6 M$_odot$ for UX Tauri A, and 70 $pm$ 30 / $sin i$ Jupiter masses for UX Tauri C (the latter coincides with the mass upper limit value for a brown dwarf). The observational evidence presented here lead us to propose that UX Tauri C is having a close approach of a possible wide, evolving and eccentric orbit around the disk of UX Tauri A causing the formation of spiral arms and the stream of molecular gas falling towards UX Tauri C.
The luminous blue variable (LBV) RMC143 is located in the outskirts of the 30~Doradus complex, a region rich with interstellar material and hot luminous stars. We report the $3sigma$ sub-millimetre detection of its circumstellar nebula with ALMA. The
observed morphology in the sub-millimetre is different than previously observed with HST and ATCA in the optical and centimetre wavelength regimes. The spectral energy distribution (SED) of RMC143 suggests that two emission mechanisms contribute to the sub-mm emission: optically thin bremsstrahlung and dust. Both the extinction map and the SED are consistent with a dusty massive nebula with a dust mass of $0.055pm0.018~M_{odot}$ (assuming $kappa_{850}=1.7rm,cm^{2},g^{-1}$). To date, RMC143 has the most dusty LBV nebula observed in the Magellanic Clouds. We have also re-examined the LBV classification of RMC143 based on VLT/X-shooter spectra obtained in 2015/16 and a review of the publication record. The radiative transfer code CMFGEN is used to derive its fundamental stellar parameters. We find an effective temperature of $sim 8500$~K, luminosity of log$(L/L_{odot}) = 5.32$, and a relatively high mass-loss rate of $1.0 times 10^{-5}~M_{odot}$~yr$^{-1}$. The luminosity is much lower than previously thought, which implies that the current stellar mass of $sim8~M_{odot}$ is comparable to its nebular mass of $sim 5.5~M_{odot}$ (from an assumed gas-to-dust ratio of 100), suggesting that the star has lost a large fraction of its initial mass in past LBV eruptions or binary interactions. While the star may have been hotter in the past, it is currently not hot enough to ionize its circumstellar nebula. We propose that the nebula is ionized externally by the hot stars in the 30~Doradus star-forming region.
The disk-outflow connection is thought to play a key role in extracting excess angular momentum from a forming protostar. We present ALMA 0.25 angular resolution observations - in the dust continuum at 1.33 mm and of the molecular line transitions of
$^{12}$CO(2-1) and $^{13}$CO(2-1) - of the circumstellar disk and outflow around the T Tauri star HH30, a rare and beautiful example of a pre-main sequence star exhibiting a flared edge-on disk, an optical jet, and a CO molecular outflow. The 1.3 mm continuum emission shows a remarkable elongated morphology along PA=31.2{deg}+/-0.1{deg} that has a constant brightness out to a radius of r=75 au. The emission is marginally resolved in the transverse direction, implying an intrinsic vertical width $leq$24 au and an inclination to the line-of-sight i$geq$84.8{deg}. The monopolar outflow, detected in $^{12}$CO, arises from the north-eastern face of the disk from a disk radius r$leq$22 au and extends up to 5 (or 700 au) above the disk plane. We derive a lower limit to the total mass of the CO cavity/outflow of 1.7E-5 M$_odot$. The CO cavity morphology is that of a hollow cone with semi-opening angle ~35{deg}. The derived kinematics are consistent with gas flowing along the conical surface with a constant velocity of 9.3+/-0.7 km/s. We detect small rotation signatures (Vphi x sin(i) $in$ [0.1;0.5] km/s) in the same sense as the underlying circumstellar disk. From these rotation signatures we infer an average specific angular momentum of the outflow of 38+/-15 au km/s at altitudes z<250 au. We also report the detection of small amplitude wiggling (1.2{deg}) of the CO axis around an average inclination to the line of sight of i=91{deg}. The derived morphology and kinematics of the CO cavity are compatible with expectations from a slow disk wind, originating either through photo-evaporation or magneto-centrifugal processes.
We imaged with ALMA and ARGOS/LUCI the molecular gas and the dust and stellar continuum in XID2028, an obscured QSO at z=1.593, where the presence of a massive outflow in the ionized gas component traced by the [O III]5007 emission has been resolved
up to 10 kpc. This target represents a unique test case to study QSO feedback in action at the peak epoch of AGN-galaxy coevolution. The QSO has been detected in the CO(5-4) transition and in the 1.3mm continuum, at ~30 and ~20 {sigma} significance respectively, with both emissions confined in the central (<4 kpc) radius area. Our analysis suggests the presence of a fast rotating molecular disc (v~400 km/s) on very compact scales, and well inside the galaxy extent seen in the rest-frame optical light (~10 kpc, as inferred from the LUCI data). Adding available measurements in additional two CO transitions, CO(2-1) and CO(3-2), we could derive a total gas mass of ~10$^{10}$ M$_odot$, thanks to a critical assessment of CO excitation and the comparison with Rayleigh-Jeans continuum estimate. This translates into a very low gas fraction (<5%) and depletion time scales of 40-75 Myr, reinforcing the result of atypical gas consumption conditions in XID2028, possibly due to feedback effects on the host galaxy. Finally, we also detect at ~5{sigma} the presence of high velocity CO gas, which we interpret as a signature of galaxy-scale molecular outflow, spatially coincident with the ionised gas outflow. XID2028 represents therefore a unique case where the measurement of total outflowing mass (~500-800 M$_odot$/yr) including the molecular and atomic components, in both the ionised and neutral phases, has been attempted for a high-z QSO.
Subarcsecond-resolution images of the rotational line emissions of CS and c-C$_3$H$_2$ obtained toward the low-mass protostar IRAS 04368$+$2557 in L1527 with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array are investigated to constrain the orientati
on of the outflow/envelope system. The distribution of CS consists of an envelope component extending from north to south and a faint butterfly-shaped outflow component. The kinematic structure of the envelope is well reproduced by a simple ballistic model of an infalling rotating envelope. Although the envelope has a nearly edge-on configuration, the inclination angle of the rotation axis from the plane of the sky is found to be 5$^circ$, where we find that the western side of the envelope faces the observer. This configuration is opposite to the direction of the large-scale ($sim$ 10$^4$ AU) outflow suggested previously from the $^{12}$CO ($J$=3$-$2) observation, and to the morphology of infrared reflection near the protostar ($sim$ 200 AU). The latter discrepancy could originate from high extinction by the outflow cavity of the western side, these discrepancies or may indicate that the outflow axis is not parallel to the rotation axis of the envelope. Position-velocity diagrams show the accelerated outflow cavity wall, and its kinematic structure in the 2000 AU scale is explained by a standard parabolic model with the inclination angle derived from the analysis of the envelope. The different orientation of the outflow between the small and large scale implies a possibility of precession of the outflow axis. The shape and the velocity of the outflow in the vicinity of the protostar are compared with those of other protostars.
