Discovery of a Low-Mass Bipolar Molecular Outflow from L1014-IRS with the Submillimeter Array

Using the Submillimeter Array, we report the discovery of a compact low-mass bipolar molecular outflow from L1014-IRS and confirm its association with the L1014 dense core at 200 pc. Consequently, L1014-IRS is the lowest luminosity (L~0.09 L_solar), and perhaps the lowest mass, source known to be driving a bipolar molecular outflow, which is one of the smallest known in size (~500 AU), mass (<10^-4 M_solar), and energetics (e.g., with a force <10^-7 M_solar km s^-1 yr^-1).
