Abstract

We present the first results from the Early Planet Formation in Embedded Disks Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array Large Program toward Oph IRS43, a binary system of solar mass protostars. The 1.3 mm dust continuum observations resolve a compact disk, ∼6 au radius, around the northern component and show that the disk around the southern component is even smaller, ≲3 au. CO, 13CO, and C18O maps reveal a large cavity in a low-mass envelope that shows kinematic signatures of rotation and infall extending out to ∼2000 au. An expanding CO bubble centered on the extrapolated location of the source ∼130 yr ago suggests a recent outburst. Despite the small size of the disks, the overall picture is of a remarkably large and dynamically active region.
