| IRAM 04191+1522 is a embedded sub-stellar mass object located in the Taurus molecular cloud. It is also a VEry Low Luminosity Object (VELLO) with Lint < 0.1L⊙ and a candidate proto-Brown Dwarf (BD). Previous studies of this system (e.g. Dunham et al. 2006) have shown that it drives a large scale asymmetric molecular outflow traced by several emission lines. ALMA Band 6 & 7 continuum and line emission observations of the molecular gas and dust distributed around this source have been obtained. These data are currently under investigation. We aim to study the kinematics and morphology of the different outflow components observed in these data and to delineate the cold dust emission observed in the continuum to identify a possible link to a jet/outflow in the vicinity of IRAM 04191+1522. Lastly, we aim to probe the mass loss mechanisms in IRAM 04191+1522 in relation to the stellar mass regime to gain an understanding of the formation process of this system. In this talk, I will present an overview of different BD formation processes, the initial work on these ALMA data and some brief interpretations. |
