Scientific paper

Observations of the infrared source Serpens - SVS 20 are presented. They show that SVS 20 is a double source surrounded by a very weak extended 2.2 μm flux. The separation and brightness ratio of the two components are 1arcsec.6 (400 AU) and Δm = 1.6 mag, respectively, and are wavelength independent. On the basis of the spatially resolved polarization measurements and of the observed energy distribution it is concluded that both sources are young pre-main-sequence (PMS) stars, with the total luminosity in the 7 - 45 L_sun; range. The double star Serpens - SVS 20 is one of the closest and least luminous star pairs known among the class of the PMS stars.
