Scientific paper

The present observational scenario of low-mass (3 solar masses or less) star formation and a possible observational approach using infrared space spectroscopy are discussed. In particular, attention is given to the possibilities offered by the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO), a cryogenically cooled infrared space telescope with photopolarimetric, imaging, and spectroscopic capabilities at wavelengths between 2 and 200 microns. The discussion covers dense cores as tracers of star formation, outflow activity and evidences of disk structures, number of observables and luminosities of objects during the main accretion phase, core formation and collapse, main accretion phase, and the high-mass protostars.
