The mass flows and energy cycles within the inner regions of galaxies exert a powerful influence on the evolution of the galaxy population. The centre of the Milky Way is the only galactic nucleus for which it is possible to resolve the physical mechanisms that drive these cycles, namely star formation and feedback, while also tracing global (>100 pc) processes which determine where and when star formation and feedback occur. We present an overview of ACES, the 'Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) CMZ Exploration Survey', a 1.5" angular resolution, 0.2-3 km/s spectral resolution ALMA Band 3 (85-102 GHz), survey of the 'Central Molecular Zone' (CMZ) – the inner-100 pc of the Galaxy (l = 359.4 deg to 0.8 deg). ACES spectral setup is tuned to observe optimal tracers of the physical, chemical, and kinematic conditions in over 70 spectral features (e.g. HCO+, HNCO, SiO, H40alpha, complex molecules) of the gas in the CMZ, to derive the properties of all potentially star-forming Galactic Centre gas, from global scales (100 pc) to dense 0.05 pc structures that are expected to host individual star-forming cores, down to sub-sonic (<0.4 km/s) velocity resolution. In this overview paper, we provide the scientific justification for the ACES survey, explain the choice of observational setup, and describe the data legacy products. Finally, we show some of the initial ACES data which highlight the power of ACES' combination of high angular resolution, unprecedented spatial dynamic range, sensitivity, spectral resolution and spectral bandwidth as an illustration of how ACES aims to understand how global processes set the location, intensity, and timescales for star formation and feedback in the CMZ.

Context. Methanol, the simplest complex organic molecule found in space, is considered a key compound for the formation of chemical species of prebiotic interest. Methanol detections in protoplanetary disks remain scarce, even though it is frequently detected in the material surrounding other young stellar objects (YSOs). Aims. We investigated the presence of methanol in the protoplanetary disk around the HL Tau protostar, motivated by the detection of spatially resolved warm water emission. Methods. Given the similar volatilities of methanol and water, thermally desorbed gas-phase methanol is expected to emit from the same region of the HL Tau disk where water vapor has been observed. Accordingly, we selected and imaged the most promising ALMA archival observations to search for rotational methanol lines. Results. We find no methanol emission in the analyzed archival datasets. Assuming optically thin emission and local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE), we derive stringent upper limits on the methanol column density for different excitation temperatures: <7.2 × 1014 cm−2 at 100 K and <1.8 × 1015 cm−2 at 200 K, assuming a circular emitting region with a radius of 17 au (~0.12"). Furthermore, we obtain a stringent upper limit on the methanol-to-water column density ratio (<0.55 × 10−3 at 100 K and <1.4 × 10−3 at 200 K), which is, on average, an order of magnitude lower than the values measured for other YSOs and Solar System comets. Conclusions. We argue that the most likely explanation for the methanol nondetection in HL Tau is the presence of optically thick dust in the central region of the disk, which obscures part of the methanol emission. The upper limit on the methanol-to-water ratio in the HL Tau disk is at least an order of magnitude smaller than most clouds, YSOs, and comets, possibly due to radiative transfer and/or excitation effects, or to a different chemical evolution compared to the other sources.

The exoALMA Large Program has revealed a wealth of substructures in the dust and molecular line emission of several protoplanetary discs, suggesting that planet formation may unfold within highly dynamic environments. Using synthetic observations of planet-disk interactions and disk instabilities, we demonstrate how the origin of these substructures can be investigated through a tomographic study of molecular lines, extending the scope of the analysis beyond line-centroid kinematics alone. Our results indicate that with only a few hours of ALMA integration at moderate angular resolution ( 0.'' 15-0.'' 30 ), it is possible to identify the key signatures driven by planets more massive than 0.1% of the stellar mass. These signatures manifest not only as deviations from Keplerian motion but also as localized line broadening, enabling accurate constraints on the orbital radius and azimuthal location of the planets. We further show that a diagnostic based on line skewness in spectrally resolved observations can help distinguish between planetary and instability-driven signatures, owing to the distinct degrees of velocity coherence associated with each mechanism. Finally, we apply this tomographic analysis to exoALMA CO line data for the disks of HD 135344B and MWC 758. In HD 135344B, we identify strongly localized velocity and line-width perturbations, suggesting the possibility of three massive planets embedded in the disk: one at R = 95 au, exterior to the continuum substructures, and two within dust gaps at R = 41 au and R = 73 au. For MWC 758, the dominance of vertical-velocity spirals over localized signatures is consistent with predictions from models of moderate disk eccentricities or warps, potentially induced by a substellar companion in the inner regions of the system.

We present spatially resolved Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) observations of the water line at 183 GHz in the disk around the Herbig star HD 100546. The water vapor emission peaks at the inner edge of the warm dust cavity, located ∼15 au from the central star. We attribute this to thermal desorption at the water snow line, shifted outward at the dust cavity wall directly heated by the intense radiation. This represents the first spatially resolved image of the water snow line using ALMA observations of the main water isotopologue in a protoplanetary disk. The water emission morphology peaking inside the first dust ring is consistent with previous ALMA detections of oxygen-bearing complex organic molecules in the disk, including thermally desorbed methanol. These findings signal that warm cavities of transition disks provide ideal targets to directly reconstruct the spatial distribution of water vapor and the snow line location with ALMA and directly connect water vapor emission to ice desorption of complex organic species.

Stellar clusters often host massive stars that heat up and ionize the gas surrounding low-mass stars. The large amounts of far-ultraviolet radiation produced by these stars can deplete the gas from the outer layers of the disk around a low-mass star, an effect known as external photoevaporation. We have chosen to study this effect in Trumpler 14 (Tr14), a young stellar cluster in the Carina Nebula Complex. Specifically, we focus on the center of Tr14 and introduce a new, more robust methodology to extract stellar spectra from previously obtained VLT/MUSE spectroscopic data. To classify the young, low-mass stars, we employ a deep learning approach in the form of a conditional invertible neural network (cINN). We describe the results of testing the network on our new set of data as well as the need to extend the current method to include hotter stars.

Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array observations suggest that the disk of HD 163296 is being actively shaped by embedded yet unseen protoplanets, as indicated by numerous gas and dust substructures consistent with planet-disk interaction models. We report the first detection of simple organic molecules, HCN and C2H, tracing a candidate circumplanetary disk (CPD) in the HD 163296 system, located at an orbital radius of R = 88 +/- 7 au and azimuth phi = 46(degrees) +/- 3(degrees) (or R = 0 ''., PA = 350(degrees) in projected sky coordinates), and originating near the midplane of the circumstellar disk. The signature is localized but spectrally resolved, and it overlaps with a previously reported planet candidate, P94, identified through kinematic perturbations traced by CO lines. We propose a scenario in which the observed chemical anomalies arise from increased heating driven by the forming planet and ongoing accretion through its CPD, facilitating the thermal desorption of species that would otherwise remain frozen out in the disk midplane, and potentially triggering the activation barriers of chemical reactions that lead to enhanced molecular production. Based on a first-order dynamical analysis of the HCN spectrum from the CPD-isolated with a 7 sigma significance-we infer an upper limit on the planet mass of 1.8M(Jup), consistent with predictions from CO kinematics and constraints from direct imaging studies. By comparing the CPD sizes derived from our models with theoretical expectations where the CPD radius corresponds to roughly one-third of the planet's Hill radius, we favor CPD gas temperatures T > 150 K, planet masses M-p < 1.0M(Jup), and CPD radii R-CPD < 2 au.

The evolution of protoplanetary discs has a substantial impact on theories of planet formation. To date, neither of the two main competing evolutionary models, namely the viscous-photoevaporative paradigm and the MHD winds model, has been ruled out by observations. Due to the high number of sources observed by large surveys, population synthesis is a powerful tool to distinguish the evolution mechanism in observations. We explore the evolution of the mass distribution of synthetic populations under the assumptions of turbulence-driven accretion and dispersal caused by internal photoevaporation. We find that the rapid removal of light discs often results in an apparent increase of the median mass of the survived disc population. This occurs both when the disc properties are independent of each other, and when typical correlations between these quantities and the stellar mass are assumed. Furthermore, as MHD wind-driven accretion rarely manifests the same feature, this serves as a signature of the viscous-photoevaporative evolution when dispersal proceeds from inside-out. Therefore, we propose the evolution of the median mass as a new method to distinguish this model in observed populations. This survivorship bias is not shown by the median accretion rate, which, instead, decreases with time. Moreover, we introduce a new criterion that estimates the disc lifetime as a function of initial conditions and an analytical relation to predict whether internal photoevaporation triggers an inside-out or an outside-in dispersal. We verify both analytical relations with numerical simulations.

We report the discovery of a long-lasting burst of disk accretion in Cha J11070768-7626326 (Cha 1107-7626), a young, isolated, 5-10 MJupiter object. In spectra taken with XSHOOTER at ESO's Very Large Telescope as well as NIRSpec and MIRI on the James Webb Space Telescope, the object transitions from quiescence in 2025 April-May to a strongly enhanced accretion phase in 2025 June-August. The line flux changes correspond to a 6-8-fold increase in the mass accretion rate, reaching 10-7 MJupiteryr-1, the highest measured in a planetary-mass object. During the burst, the H alpha line develops a double-peaked profile with redshifted absorption, as observed in stars and brown dwarfs undergoing magnetospheric accretion. The optical continuum increases by a factor of 3-6; the object is similar to 1.5-2 mag brighter in the R band during the burst. Mid-infrared continuum fluxes rise by 10%-20%, with clear changes in the hydrocarbon emission lines from the disk. We detect water vapour emission at 6.5-7 mu m, which were absent in quiescence. By the end of our observing campaign, the burst was still ongoing, implying a duration of at least 2 months. A 2016 spectrum also shows high accretion levels, suggesting that this object may undergo recurring bursts. The observed event is inconsistent with typical variability in accreting young stars and instead matches the duration, amplitude, and line spectrum of an EXor-type burst, making Cha1107-7626 the first substellar object with evidence of a potentially recurring EXor burst.

Context. The physical mechanisms that regulate the collapse of high-mass parsec-scale clumps and allow them to form clusters of new stars, including high-mass stars, represent a crucial aspect of star formation. Aims. To investigate these mechanisms, we developed the Rosetta Stone project: an end-to-end (simulations double left right arrow observations) framework that is based on the systematic production of realistic synthetic observations of clump fragmentation and their subsequent comparison with real data. Methods. In this work, we compare ALMA 1.3 mm continuum dust emission observations from the Star formation in QUiescent And Luminous Objects (SQUALO) survey with a new set of 24 radiative magnetohydrodynamical (RMHD) simulations of high-mass clump fragmentation, post-processed using the CASA software to mimic the observing strategy of SQUALO (combining ACA and 12 m array). The simulations were initialized combining typical values of clump mass (500 and 1000 M circle dot) and radius (similar to 0.4 pc) with two levels of turbulence (Mach number, M, of 7 and 10) and three levels of magnetization (normalized mass-to-magnetic-flux ratio, mu, of similar to 3, 10, and 100). Following the clump evolution over time with two initial random seeds projected along three orthogonal directions, we produced a collection of 732 synthetic fields. On each field, we performed source extraction and photometry using the Hyper software, as in the SQUALO project, to quantitatively characterize how the initial conditions of the clump and the environment affect the observed fragmentation properties. Results. The synthetic observations of clump fragmentation at similar to 7000 AU resolution revealed between 2 and 14 fragments per field, indicating a complex fragmentation process. Among the initial conditions of the simulations, magnetic fields have the largest impact on the fragment multiplicity at these scales. In advanced stages of clump evolution, a lower number of fragments is preferentially associated with magnetized clumps. The clump magnetization might also affect the clustering of fragments, favoring more tightly bound distributions when the magnetic field is stronger. Fragments identified at similar to 7000 AU correspond to individual or multiple sink particles in similar to 75% of the cases. This result suggests that not all identified fragments are actively forming stars. Both sink particles and fragments accrete mass throughout the whole clump evolution. This evidence favors a scenario in which fragments are not isolated from the environment and is thus consistent with results from the SQUALO survey. Conclusions. Our study demonstrates the importance of synthetic observations in interpreting results from interferometric observations.

Recent years have seen a surge of interest in the community studying the effect of ultraviolet radiation environment, predominantly set by OB stars, on protoplanetary disc evolution and planet formation. This is important because a significant fraction of planetary systems, potentially including our own, formed in close proximity to OB stars. This is a rapidly developing field, with a broad range of observations across many regions recently obtained or recently scheduled. In this paper, stimulated by a series of workshops on the topic, we take stock of the current and upcoming observations. We discuss how the community can build on this recent success with future observations to make progress in answering the big questions of the field, with the broad goal of disentangling how external photoevaporation contributes to shaping the observed (exo)planet population. Both existing and future instruments offer numerous opportunities to make progress towards this goal.

Context. Star formation and, in particular, high-mass star formation are key astrophysical processes that are far from being fully understood. Unfortunately, progress in these fields is slow because observations are hard to interpret as they cannot be directly compared to numerical simulations. Synthetic observations are therefore necessary to better constrain the models. Aims. With the Rosetta Stone project, we aim to develop an end-to-end pipeline to compare star formation simulations with observations as accurately as possible in order to study the evolution from clumps scales to stars. Methods. Using the adaptive mesh-refinement code RAMSES, we computed a first grid of model of star-forming clumps to develop our pipeline and explore the impact of the clump initial conditions on their evolution. The main purpose of this set of simulations is to be converted into synthetic observations to enable a direct comparison with real star-forming clumps observed with Herschel and ALMA. Results. The Rosetta Stone simulations presented here provide a catalog available for full post-processing and subsequent comparison with observations (RS1). Among all the parameters explored here, the strength of the magnetic field has the strongest influence on the clump evolution (fragmentation, star formation, global collapse) at both large and small scales. Numerical parameters such as the resolution per Jeans length or the threshold for accretion onto sink particles affects the formation of low-mass sinks. Finally, the widely used L/M ratio is found to be a good indicator of the clump evolutionary state regardless of its initial condition, but this could change when more feedback processes (jets, HII regions) are included. Conclusions. We now have a new suite of simulations of star-forming clumps that is available for full post-processing and subsequent comparison with the observations,

The last decade has witnessed remarkable advances in the characterization of the (sub-)millimeter emission from planet-forming disks. Conversely, the study of (sub-)centimeter emission has made more limited progress, to the point that only a few exceptional disk-bearing objects have been characterized in the centimeter regime. This work takes a broad view of the centimeter emission from a large sample with Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) observations that is selected from previous Atacama Large (sub-)Millimeter Array (ALMA) surveys of more representative disks in brightness and extent . We report on the detection and characterization of flux at centimeter wavelengths from 21 sources in the Taurus star-forming region. Complemented by literature and archival data, the entire photometry from 0.85 mm to 6 cm is fit by a two-component model that determines the ubiquitous presence of free-free emission entangled with the dust emission. The flux density of the free-free emission is found to scale with the accretion rate but is independent of the outer-disk morphology depicted by ALMA. The dust emission at 2 cm is still appreciable and offers the possibility to extract an unprecedented large set of dust spectral indices in the centimeter regime. A pronounced change between the median millimeter indices (2.3) and centimeter indices (2.8) suggests that a large portion of the disk emission is optically thick up to 3 mm. The comparison of both indices and fluxes with the ALMA disk extent indicates that this portion can be as large as 40 au and suggests that the grain population within this disk region that emits the observed centimeter emission is similar in disks with different sizes and morphologies. All these results await confirmation and dedicated dust modeling once facilities such as next generation VLA (ngVLA) or Square Kilometre Array (SKA)-mid are able to resolve the centimeter emission from planet-forming disks and disentangle the various components.

Context. The evolution of massive star-forming clumps that are progenitors of high-mass young stellar objects are often classified based on a variety of observational indicators ranging from near-infrared to radio wavelengths. Among them, the ratio of the bolometric luminosity to the mass of their envelope, L/M, has been observationally diagnosed as a good indicator for the evolutionary classification of parsec-scale star-forming clumps in the Galaxy. Aims. We developed the Rosetta Stone project - an end-to-end framework designed to enable an accurate comparison between simulations and observations for investigating the formation and evolution of massive clumps. In this study, we calibrate the L/M indicator in relation to the star formation efficiency (SFE) and the clump age, as derived from our suite of simulations. Methods. We performed multi-wavelength radiative transfer post-processing of radiative magnetohydrodynamics (RMHD) simulations of the collapse of star-forming clumps fragmenting into protostars. We generated synthetic observations to obtain far-infrared emission from 70 to 500 mu m, as was done in the Hi-GAL survey, and at 24 mu m in the MIPSGAL survey, which were then used to build the spectral energy distributions (SEDs) and estimate the L/M parameter. An additional 1.3 mm wavelength in ALMA Band 6 was also produced for the comparison with observational data. We applied observational techniques - commonly employed by observers - to the synthetic data in order to derive the corresponding physical parameters. Results. We find a correlation between L/M and the SFE, with a power-law form L/M proportional to SFE-0.021.20+0.02. This correlation is independent of the mass of the clumps and the choice of initial conditions of the simulations in which they formed. The relation between L/M and the ages of the clumps is instead mass-dependent, and can also be strongly influenced by the intensity of the magnetic fields. Conclusions. Our results suggest that L/M is a reliable parameter for characterizing the overall evolutionary stage of a given starforming region. Its value can be directly compared with the star formation efficiency (SFE) parameter derived from simulations. However, to accurately infer the age of the observed clumps, it is essential to constrain their mass.

The ALMA large program exoALMA offers a unique window into the three-dimensional physical and dynamical properties of 15 circumstellar disks where planets may be actively forming. Here, we present an analysis methodology to map the gas disk structure and substructure encoded in ^12 CO, ^13 CO, and CS line emission from our targets. To model and characterize the disk structure probed by optically thin species, such as CS and, in some cases, ^13 CO, we introduce a composite line profile kernel that accounts for increased intensities caused by the projected overlap between the disk’s front and back side emission. Our workflow, built on the discminer modeling framework, incorporates an improved iterative two-component fitting method for inclined sources ( i > 40 ^∘ ) to mitigate the impact of the disk back side on the extraction of velocity maps. Also, we report best-fit parameters for the Keplerian stellar masses, as well as inclinations, position angles, systemic velocities, rotation direction, and emission surfaces of the disks in our sample.

(Abridged) We present high angular resolution and sensitivity ALMA 3.1 mm and VLA 9.1 mm observations of the disc around CI Tau. These new data were combined with similar-resolution archival ALMA 0.9 and 1.3 mm observations and new and archival VLA 7.1 mm, 2.0, 3.0, and 6.0 cm photometry to study the properties of dust in this system. At wavelengths <3.1 mm, CI Tau's continuum emission is very extended and highly substructured (with three gaps, four rings, and two additional gap-ring pairs identified by non-parametric visibility modelling). Instead, the VLA 9.1 mm data are dominated by a bright central component, only partially (< 50

This study explores the dynamical impact of cosmic rays (CRs) in Milky Way-like galaxies using the Rhea simulation suite. Cosmic rays, with their substantial energy density, influence the interstellar medium (ISM) by supporting galactic winds, modulating star formation, and shaping ISM energetics. The simulations incorporate a multiphase ISM, self-consistent CR transport in the advection-diffusion approximation, and interactions with magnetic fields to study their effects on galaxy evolution. Key findings reveal that CRs reduce star formation rates (SFRs) and drive weak, but sustained outflows with mass-loading factors of similar to 0.2, transporting a substantial fraction (20%-60%) of the injected CR energy. These CR-driven outflows are launched not just from the galactic center, but across the entire disk, illustrating their pervasive dynamical influence. Galactic disks supported by CRs exhibit broader vertical structures compared to magnetic-field-dominated setups, although the scale heights are similar. CR feedback enhances magnetic flux transport to the circumgalactic medium (CGM), leading to a magnetically enriched CGM with field strengths of similar to 0.5 mu G, while reducing gas temperatures to less than or similar to 105 K. The CR energy is relatively smoothly distributed in the disk, with gradient lengths exceeding the typical size of molecular clouds, indicating that the CR behavior is not adiabatic.

The gas masses of protoplanetary disks are important but elusive quantities. In this work we present new Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) observations of N 2 H + (3–2) for 11 exoALMA disks. N 2 H + is a molecule sensitive to CO freeze-out and has recently been shown to significantly improve the accuracy of gas masses estimated from CO line emission. We combine these new observations with archival N 2 H + and CO isotopologue observations to measure gas masses for 19 disks, predominantly from the exoALMA large program. For 15 of these disks the gas mass has also been measured using gas rotation curves. We show that the CO + N 2 H + line emission-based gas masses typically agree with the kinematically measured ones within a factor of 3 (∼1 σ –2 σ ). Gas disk masses from CO + N 2 H + are on average a factor of 2.3 − 1.0 + 0.7 × lower than the kinematic disk masses, which could suggest slightly lower N 2 abundances and/or lower midplane ionization rates than typically assumed. Herbig disks are found to have CO gas abundances at the level of the interstellar medium based on their CO and N 2 H + fluxes, which sets them apart from T Tauri disks, where abundances are typically ∼3−30× lower. The agreement between CO + N 2 H + -based and kinematically measured gas masses is promising and shows that multimolecule line fluxes are a robust tool to accurately measure disk masses at least for extended disks.

We report the serendipitous detection of the SO J _N = 6 _5 –5 _4 (219.949 GHz) rotational transition in archival Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array observations of the spiral hosting protoplanetary disks around CQ Tau (with ≈4.9 σ significance) and MWC 758 (with ≈3.4 σ significance). In the former, the SO emission comes in the shape of a ring, arises from the edge of the continuum cavity, and is qualitatively consistent, at the currently available spectral resolution, with being in Keplerian rotation. In the latter, instead, while arising primarily from inside the continuum cavity, the SO emission also extends to the continuum ring(s), and its morphology and kinematics are less clear. We put these sources in the context of the other protoplanetary disks where SO detections have been previously reported in the literature and discuss the possible origins of SO in terms of (thermal) desorption or formation in the gas-phase. We argue that these processes might be fostered by dynamical perturbations caused by unseen embedded massive companions, shadows, or late-time infall, thus suggesting a possible link between perturbed dynamics and SO emission in (these) protoplanetary disks. If confirmed, our interpretation would imply that chemical evolution timescales could be significantly shorter in these systems than is commonly assumed, indicating that dynamical perturbations might influence the composition of newborn (proto)planets by altering the volatile makeup of their formation environment.

What regulates star formation in different regions of the Galaxy is still debated and especially the role of turbulence is not fully understood. In this work, we explore the link between star formation, turbulence and the thermal state of the multi-phase interstellar medium (ISM). We analyse a suite of stratified box simulations modelling a realistic ISM that aims to probe environments similar to those found in the Milky Way. Turbulence is injected through stellar feedback and an external large-scale driving force. We find that star formation can be either boosted or reduced when increasing the external driving strength, depending on the environment. When the density is sufficiently high or the initial UV background weak, warm neutral gas naturally transitions to the cold phase, leading to high cold neutral medium (CNM) fractions of around 30 - 40%. Under these conditions, excessive large-scale driving leads to a slight reduction of the CNM fraction and an increase in the amount of gas that is thermally unstable. What limits the star formation in this regime is a reduced fraction of dense gas due to additional turbulent support against collapse. For low density regions subject to significant external UV background, overdensities in which cooling is efficient are much rarer and we find that star formation is regulated by the formation of cold gas. In such cases, turbulence can significantly boost star formation by compressing gas in shocks and increasing the CNM fraction dramatically. In our simulations we see an increase from almost no CNM to up to a fraction of 15 % when including external turbulence driving; leading to an associated increase in the star formation rate. We provide a model to quantify this behaviour and predict the CNM fraction by combining the standard ISM cooling/heating model with the density PDF generated by turbulence. The change in the dominant limiting process for star formation between low-density/externally heated and intermediate-density/feedback heated environments could provides a natural explanation for the observed break in the Kennicutt-Schmidt relation around column densities of 9 M pc.

Using continuum and C^18O (2-1) line data obtained from the large ALMA program FAUST, we studied the structure of the protostellar binary system L1551 IRS5 at scales between 30 and 3,000 au to constrain its properties, from the circumstellar and circumbinary disks up to the envelope and outflow scales, which exhibits complex and entangled structures at the scales of its inner and outer envelopes, presumably caused by the influence of the central binary. Assuming a dust-to-gas ratio of 100, we calculated the dust+gas mass for the circumbinary disk and each circumstellar disk of the binary, obtaining 0.018 M_⊙, for the circumbinary disk, 0.004 M_⊙, and 0.002 M_⊙, for the northern and southern circumstellar disk respectively. From the line emission, we retrieved the gas masses for each structure component. With the C^18O (2-1) PV diagram along the circumbinary disk, we were able to constrain the centrifugal barrier, r_CB=55 au, update the specific angular momentum, j∼270 au km s^-1. We built an analytical model that can be used to predict the influence of the morphology of the outflow and a few dynamic features that can reproduce the system emission, allowing us to explain and discern the outflow contribution from the complex emission due to the binary. Additionally, we inferred the density power law index, α=1.7, and the envelope rotation velocity, v_c=2 km s^-1. Finally, the observations gave us the physical constraints to obtain a coherent outflow model for L1551 IRS5.
