P. Saraceno et al., ISO SPECTROSCOPY - THE STUDY OF LOW-MASS STAR FORMATION, Nuovo cimento della Societa italiana di fisica. C, Geophysics and space physics, 15(6), 1992, pp. 1021-1032
The current observational scenario pertaining. to the study of low-mas
s star formation is discussed together with the evolutionary sequence
that such a scenario seems to suggest. The opportunities offered by th
e spectrometers on board of the ISO satellite for improving our unders
tanding of the involved physical processes are then discussed.
