[Abridged] We carried out optical polarimetry of five dense cores, (IRAM 04191, L1521F, L328, L673-7, and L1014) which are found to harbour VeLLO. This study was conducted mainly to understand the role played by the magnetic field in the formation of very low and substellar mass range objects using optical polarisation. The angular offsets between the envelope magnetic field direction (inferred from optical polarisation measurements) and the outflow position angles from the VeLLOs in IRAM 04191, L1521F, L328, L673-7, and L1014 are found to be 84$^circ$, 53$^circ$, 24$^circ$, 08$^circ$, and 15$^circ$, respectively. The mean value of the offsets for all the five clouds is $sim37^circ$. If we exclude IRAM 04191, the mean value reduces to become $sim25^circ$. In IRAM 04191, the offset between the projected envelope and the inner magnetic field (inferred from the submillimetre data from SCUPOL) is found to be $sim68^circ$. The inner magnetic field, however, is found to be nearly aligned with the projected position angles of the minor axis, the rotation axis of the cloud, and the outflow from the IRAM 04191-IRS. We discuss a possible explanation for the nearly perpendicular orientation between the envelope and core scale magnetic fields in IRAM04191. The angular offset between the envelope magnetic field direction and the minor axis of IRAM 04191, L1521F, L673-7, and L1014 are 82$^circ$, 60$^circ$, 47$^circ$, and 55$^circ$, respectively. The mean value of the offsets between the envelope magnetic field and the minor axis position angles for the four cores is found to be $sim60^circ$. The results obtained from our study on the limited sample of five cores with VeLLOs show that the outflows in three of them tend to nearly align with the envelope magnetic field.

The nature of very low luminosity objects with the internal luminosity L_obj <= 0.1 Lsun is investigated by means of numerical modeling coupling the core collapse simulations with the stellar evolution calculations. The gravitational collapse of a la
rge sample of model cores in the mass range 0.1-2.0 Msun is investigated. Numerical simulations were started at the pre-stellar phase and terminated at the end of the embedded phase when 90% of the initial core mass had been accreted onto the forming protostar plus disk system. The disk formation and evolution was studied using numerical hydrodynamics simulations, while the formation and evolution of the central star was calculated using a stellar evolution code. Three scenarios for mass accretion from the disk onto the star were considered: hybrid accretion in which a fraction of accreted energy absorbed by the protostar depends on the accretion rate, hot accretion wherein a fraction of accreted energy is constant, and cold accretion wherein all accretion energy is radiated away. Our conclusions on the nature of VeLLOs depend crucially on the character of protostellar accretion. In the hybrid accretion scenario, most VeLLOs (90.6%) are expected to be the first hydrostatic cores (FHSCs) and only a small fraction (9.4%) are true protostars. In the hot accretion scenario, all VeLLOs are FHSCs due to overly high photospheric luminosity of protostars. In the cold accretion scenario, on the contrary, the majority of VeLLOs belong to the Class I phase of stellar evolution. The reason is that the stellar photospheric luminosity, which sets the floor for the total internal luminosity of a young star, is lower in cold accretion, thus enabling more VeLLOs in the protostellar stage. VeLLOs are relatively rare objects occupying 7%-11% of the total duration of the embedded phase and their masses do not exceed 0.3 Msun. (abridged).
We present a systematic single-dish search for molecular outflows toward a sample of 9 candidate low-luminosity protostars and 30 candidate Very Low Luminosity Objects (VeLLOs; L_int < 0.1 L_sun). The sources are identified using data from the Spitze
r Space Telescope catalogued by Dunham et al. toward nearby (D < 400 pc) star forming regions. Each object was observed in 12CO and 13CO J = 2-1 simultaneously using the sideband separating ALMA Band-6 prototype receiver on the Heinrich Hertz Telescope at 30 arcsecond resolution. Using 5-point grid maps we identify five new potential outflow candidates and make on-the-fly maps of the regions surrounding sources in the dense cores B59, L1148, L1228, and L1165. Of these new outflow candidates, only the map of B59 shows a candidate blue outflow lobe associated with a source in our survey. We also present larger and more sensitive maps of the previously detected L673-7 and the L1251-A IRS4 outflows and analyze their properties in comparison to other outflows from VeLLOs. The accretion luminosities derived from the outflow properties of the VeLLOs with detected CO outflows are higher than the observed internal luminosity of the protostars, indicating that these sources likely had higher accretion rates in the past. The known L1251-A IRS3 outflow is detected but not remapped. We do not detect clear, unconfused signatures of red and blue molecular wings toward the other 31 sources in the survey indicating that large-scale, distinct outflows are rare toward this sample of candidate protostars. Several potential outflows are confused with kinematic structure in the surrounding core and cloud. Interferometric imaging is needed to disentangle large-scale molecular cloud kinematics from these potentially weak protostellar outflows.
Magnetic fields have only recently been included in theoretical simulations of high-mass star formation. The simulations show that magnetic fields can play a crucial role not only in the formation and dynamics of molecular outflows, but also in the e
volution of circumstellar disks. Therefore, new measurements of magnetic fields at milliarcsecond resolution close to massive young stellar objects (YSOs) are fundamental for providing new input for numerical simulations and for understanding the formation process of massive stars. The polarized emission of 6.7 GHz CH3OH masers allows us to investigate the magnetic field close to the massive YSO where the outflows and disks are formed. Recently, we have detected with the EVN CH3OH maser polarized emission towards 10 massive YSOs. From a first statistical analysis we have found evidence that magnetic fields are primarily oriented along the molecular outflows. To improve our statistics we are carrying on a large observational EVN campaign for a total of 19 sources, the preliminary results of the first seven sources are presented in this contribution. Furthermore, we also describe our efforts to estimate the Lande g-factors of the CH3OH maser transition to determine the magnetic field strength from our Zeeman-splitting measurements.
We present the results of a single dish survey toward 95 VeLLOs in optically thick (HCN 1-0) and thin ($rm N_2H^+$ 1-0) lines performed for the purpose of understanding the physical processes of inward motions in the envelopes of the VeLLOs and chara
cterizing their true nature. The normalized velocity differences ($delta V_{HCN}$) between the peak velocities of the two lines were derived for 41 VeLLOs detected in both lines. The $delta V$ distribution of these VeLLOs is found to be significantly skewed to the blue, indicating the dominance of infalling motions in their envelopes. The infall speeds were derived for 15 infall candidates by using the HILL5 radiative transfer model. The speeds were in the range of 0.03 $rm km~s^{-1}$ to 0.3 $rm km~s^{-1}$, with a median value of 0.16 $rm km~s^{-1}$, being consistent with the gravitational free-fall speeds from pressure-free envelopes. The mass infall rates calculated from the infall speeds are mostly of the order of $10^{-6} M_{odot}~yr^{-1}$ with a median value of $rm 3.4 pm 1.5 times 10^{-6} M_{odot}~yr^{-1}$. These are found to be also consistent with the values predicted with the inside-out collapse model and show a fairly good correlation with the internal luminosities of the VeLLOs. This again indicates that the infall motions observed toward the VeLLOs are likely to be due to the gravitational infall motions in their envelopes. Our study suggests that most of the VeLLOs are potentially faint protostars while two of the VeLLOs could possibly be proto-brown dwarf candidates.
We have observed dense gas around the Very Low-Luminosity Ob jects (VeLLOs) L1521F-IRS and IRAM 04191+1522 in carbon-chain and organic molecular lines with the Nobeyama 45 m telescope. Towards L1521F-IRS, carbon-chain lines of CH3CCH (50-40), C4H (17
/2-15/2), and C3H2 (212-101) are 1.5 - 3.5 times stronger than those towards IRAM 04191+1522, and the abundances of the carbon-chain molecules towards L1521F-IRS are 2 to 5 times higher than those towards IRAM 04191+1522. Mapping observations of these carbon-chain molecular lines show that in L1521F the peak positions of these carbon-chain molecular lines are different from each other and there is no emission peak towards the VeLLO position, while in IRAM 04191+1522 these carbon-chain lines are as weak as the detection limits except for the C3H2 line. The observed chemical differentiation between L1521F and IRAM 04191+1522 suggests that the evolutionary stage of L1521F-IRS is younger than that of IRAM 04191+1522, consistent with the extent of the associated outflows seen in the 13CO (1-0) line. The non-detection of the organic molecular lines of CH3OH (6-2-7-1 E) and CH3CN (60-50) implies that the warm (~ 100 K) molecular-desorbing region heated by the central protostar is smaller than ~ 100 AU towards L1521F-IRS and IRAM 04191+1522, suggesting the young age of these VeLLOs. We propose that the chemical status of surrounding dense gas can be used to trace the evolutionary stages of VeLLOs.
