Probing The Early Processes of Star Formation With ALMA: Disks and Jets/Outflows

Chin-Fei Lee  (ASIAA)

Stars like our Sun are forming everywhere in the Milky Way.  With the unprecedented sensitivity and resolution of ALMA, we have mapped a few young star-forming regions in great detail, making a few breakthrough discoveries in the study of star formation.  In this talk, I will present our ALMA results of star formation in detail.  In particular, I will report our results of accretion disks and jets/outflows around the forming stars and discuss their formation mechanisms.
