Molecular Outflows in the Substellar Domain
Abstract
Phan-Bao et al. (2008) presented the first confirmed detection of
a bipolar molecular outflow from the young brown dwarf ISO-Oph 102 of
60 M_J in rho Ophiuchi. The detection suggests that
brown dwarfs and low-mass stars likely share the same formation mechanism. In this talk, we report our on-going search for molecular outflows
from young objects in rho Ophiuchi and Taurus with masses ranging from 30 to 90 M_J using Combined Array for Research in Millimeter-wave Astronomy (CARMA) and Submillimeter Array (SMA).
The observations of the earliest stages of brown dwarf formation will significantly improve our understanding of the formation of substellar objects.
