Insights into the VeLLO source L1521F IRS using 160 micron data from the
Taurus Spitzer Legacy Survey

The interest in very low-luminosity embedded sources is to understand where they fit into the evolutionary scheme of low-mass star-formation. Using data from the Taurus Spitzer Legacy Survey, we analyze the 160 micron far-infrared emission near L1521F to investigate the cloud-core environment. The L1521F prestellar core contains a VeLLO source previously detected by the Spitzer Space Telescope. The source's low-luminosity suggests the object is substellar, and its similarity to class 0 sources suggests it is extremely young. |
