Description
The dense molecular cloud Barnard 59 is the only site of active star-formation in the overall quiescent Pipe nebula, a 10,000 solar mass quiescent dark cloud located at a distance of 163 pc. The core harbors a small cluster of low-mass YSOs first observed in mid-infrared bands with the Spitzer telescope. In this talk, following an introduction of the overall properties of the B59 region, I will present two very distinct and different planet forming disks. [BHB2007]-11 is the youngest stellar (binary) system in the region, classified as a Class I protostar. ALMA observations has revealed a complex and unexpected features around this binary. For example, an outflow launched at the putative centrifugal radius, at the edge of the circumbinary disk, and an intricate network of dusty filaments around the binary stars. [BHB2007]-1 is a flat spectrum YSO surrounded by a very young giant planet/brown dwarf embedded in the disk that surrounds the star. Evidence of accretion is seen at all scales, from the cloud to the disk and from the disk to the planet and star.
