Understanding the evolution of cores into protostellar envelopes is important in the star formation study. The initial condition of star formation such as density structure, kinematics, chemical composition, and magnetic field of dense cores can be derived from high resolution molecular line and continuum images at millimeter/submillimeter wavelengths. Besides, most low-mass stars are formed in clusters although the study of protoclusters is still rudimentary because of lack of observations with sufficiently high resolution to resolve individual cores/envelopes. High resolution observations with the coming SMA and ALMA will be crucial to testing and improving theoretical models of low-mass star formation.
