A Search for Dust in the Outflow of the HH212 Class 0 Protostellar System

Researchers re-examined archival ALMA dust continuum data for HH212 to search for dust extending into the protostellar outflow. They found that emission in Bands 7 and 9 showed significant departures from expected patterns, coinciding with molecular tracers like SO and C34S. This suggests a substantial portion of the dust extension is associated with the outflow rather than just infalling material, implying outflows carry away significant dust.
