Scientific paper

IRAS 4 is a cold, low luminosity source in the active star formation region NGC 1333. The present sub-mm photometry and high spatial resolution 800- and 450-micron maps resolve this source into a binary system whose components are separated by about 31 arcsec and connected by a bridge of faint dust emission. The dust masses associated with the binary component are by far the largest seen toward any star of comparable luminosity, and are a factor of 10 higher than predicted by protostar models. It is suggested that these observations indicate a very young stellar system, possibly an actual protostar, in which most luminosity is generated by accretion.
