Scientific paper

The paper presents submillimeter dust continuum observations of three low-luminosity (about 10-solar-luminosity) protostellar IRAS sources obtained at the JCMT: IRAS 05295+1247, IRAS 04016+2610, and IRAS 05413-0104. All sources have steeply rising spectral energy distributions, indicating that they are embedded heavily in dusty envelopes. Characteristic properties of the protostellar envelopes are derived using a spherically symmetric radiative-transfer model and taking into account ice-coated grains as a major ingredient providing a high dust opacity and a dust emissivity index beta of about 1.
