Abstract: We present interferometric images of the tex2html_wrap_inline1023  1.3 and 3.5 mm continuum and the SiO J = 2 tex2html_wrap_inline1029 1 emission towards the SVS13/HH7-11 vicinity (see Fig 7). The continuum data resolve SVS13 into two components separated by 14 tex2html_wrap_inline1401 .5 ( tex2html_wrap_inline1229 4300 AU) and having very similar millimeter properties: each of them has about 1 M tex2html_wrap_inline1405 of circumstellar material and its emission is characterized by a spectral index of tex2html_wrap_inline1229 2.5. One of the components, SVS13B, lacks optical, near infrared, or cm-wave counterpart, and is only detectable at millimeter waves, a fact that suggests it represents an extremely embedded, Class 0 object. This source, in addition, powers a remarkably collimated molecular outflow as seen by a high velocity SiO jet. HH12, HH16, and HH352 lie along the line of this jet, suggesting they are also excited by SVS13B. Our observations highlight the star-formation richness of the HH7-11 region which contains in a small area some of the youngest and most extraordinary outflows known.
