Abstract

We discuss the scientific role of the Atacama Compact Array (ACA), the Japanese contribution to the ALMA project, for low-mass star-formation study. Our recent observations of several low-mass protostellar envelopes in the submillimeter CS ( J=7 6) and HCN ( J=4 3) lines with the SMA and ASTE have revealed that these submillimeter emissions are more extended than ˜2000 AU and show different velocity structures from those traced by millimeter lines. These results suggest the importance of taking short-spacing informations the ACA can offer. Our comprehensive imaging simulations of these protostellar envelopes, as well as prestellar cores and debris disks, unprecedentedly demonstrate the scientific importance of ACA.
