(Abridged) With the SMA we have made high angular-resolution (~1 = 160 AU) observations of the protobinary system IRAS 16293-2422 in the J = 4-3 lines of HCN and HC^15N, and in the continuum at 354.5 GHz. The HCN (4-3) line was also observed using the JCMT to supply missing short spacing information. Submillimeter continuum emission is detected from the individual binary components with a separation of ~5. The HC^15N (4-3) emission has revealed a compact (~500 AU) flattened structure (P.A. = -16 degree) associated with Source A, and shows a velocity gradient along the projected minor axis, which can be interpreted as an infalling gas motion. Our HCN image including the short-spacing information shows an extended (~3000 AU) circumbinary envelope as well as the compact structure associated with Source A. A toy model consisting of a flattened structure with radial infall towards a 1 Msun central star reproduces the HCN/HC^15N position-velocity diagram along the minor axis of the HC^15N emission. In the extended envelope there is also a North-East (Blue) to South-West (Red) velocity gradient across the binary alignment, which is likely to reflect gas motion in the swept-up dense gas associated with the molecular outflow from Source A. At Source B, there is only a weak compact structure with much narrower line widths (~2 km/s) seen in the optically-thin HC^15N emission than that at Source A (>10 km/s), and there is no clearly defined bipolar molecular outflow associated with Source B. These results imply the different evolutionary stages between Source A and B in the common circumbinary envelope.

Complex organic molecules have previously been discovered in solar type protostars, raising the questions of where and how they form in the envelope. Possible formation mechanisms include grain mantle evaporation, interaction of the outflow with its surroundings or the impact of UV/X-rays inside the cavities. In this Letter we present the first interferometric observations of two complex molecules, CH3CN and HCOOCH3, towards the solar type protostar IRAS16293-2422. The images show that the emission originates from two compact regions centered on the two components of the binary system. We discuss how these results favor the grain mantle evaporation scenario and we investigate the implications of these observations for the chemical composition and physical and dynamical state of the two components.
The protonated form of CO2, HOCO+, is assumed to be an indirect tracer of CO2 in the millimeter/submillimeter regime since CO2 lacks a permanent dipole moment. Here, we report the detection of two rotational emission lines (4 0,4-3 0,3) and (5 0,5-4 0,4) of HOCO+ in IRAS 16293-2422. For our observations, we have used EMIR heterodyne 3 mm receiver of the IRAM 30m telescope. The observed abundance of HOCO+ is compared with the simulations using the 3-phase NAUTILUS chemical model. Implications of the measured abundances of HOCO+ to study the chemistry of CO2 ices using JWST-MIRI and NIRSpec are discussed as well.
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 have mapped the proto-binary source IRAS 16293-2422 in CO 2-1, 13CO 2-1, and CO 3-2 with the Submillimeter Array (SMA). The maps with resolution of 1.5-5 reveal a single small scale (~3000 AU) bipolar molecular outflow along the east-west directio n. We found that the blueshifted emission of this small scale outflow mainly extends to the east and the redshifted emission to the west from the position of IRAS 16293A. A comparison with the morphology of the large scale outflows previously observed by single-dish telescopes at millimeter wavelengths suggests that the small scale outflow may be the inner part of the large scale (~15000 AU) E-W outflow. On the other hand, there is no clear counterpart of the large scale NE-SW outflow in our SMA maps. Comparing analytical models to the data suggests that the morphology and kinematics of the small scale outflow can be explained by a wide-angle wind with an inclination angle of ~30-40 degrees with respect to the plane of the sky. The high resolution CO maps show that there are two compact, bright spots in the blueshifted velocity range. An LVG analysis shows that the one located 1 to the east of source A is extremely dense, n(H_2)~10^7 cm^-3, and warm, T_kin >55 K. The other one located 1 southeast of source B has a higher temperature of T_kin >65 K but slightly lower density of n(H_2)~10^6 cm^-3. It is likely that these bright spots are associated with the hot core-like emission observed toward IRAS 16293. Since both two bright spots are blueshifted from the systemic velocity and are offset from the protostellar positions, they are likely formed by shocks.
