Abstract

We present the results of ALMA observations of dust continuum emission and molecular rotational lines toward a dense core, MC27 (aka L1521F), which is considered to be very close to the first core phase. We revealed the spatial/velocity structures of the core are very complex and and suggest that the initial condition of star formation is highly dynamical.
