Scientific paper

The candidate protostar VLA 1623 has been mapped in the sub-millimetre and shown to have a spherical envelope with a shallow (r-1/2) density gradient. Although it has a well-collimated bipolar outflow, it shows no evidence for a disc-like structure of the nature of that around the archetypal outflow source L1551-IRS5. Rather the data seem to indicate a "cored-apple" geometry for the circumstellar material, with the outflow sweeping a cavity along the axis of the apple. If there is a disc around VLA 1623 at the centre of the envelope it has to be optically thick at 2.7 mm and have a radius <80AU.
