In a complete ALMA survey of embedded protostars in Ophiuchus, 38% are detected in dust polarization, and most detections are consistent with dust self-scattering in inclined, optically thick disks rather than magnetic fields.

abstract
We present detailed analysis of high-resolution C18O (2-1), SO (88-77), CO (3-2) and DCO+ (3-2) data obtained by the Atacama Large Millimeter/sub-millimeter Array (ALMA) towards a Class 0 Keplerian circumbinary disk around VLA1623A, which represents one of the most complete analysis towards a Class 0 source. From the dendrogram analysis, we identified several accretion flows feeding the circumbinary disk in a highly anisotropic manner. Stream-like SO emission around the circumbinary disk reveals the complicated shocks caused by the interactions between the disk, accretion flows and outflows. A wall-like structure is discovered south of VLA1623B. The discovery of two outflow cavity walls at the same position traveling at different velocities suggests the two outflows from both VLA1623A and VLA1623B overlays on top of each other in the plane of sky. Our detailed flat and flared disk modeling shows that Cycle 2 C18O J = 2-1 data is inconsistent with the combined binary mass of 0.2 Msun as suggested by early Cycle 0 studies. The combined binary mass for VLA1623A should be modified to 0.3 ~ 0.5 Msun.

Dust Polarization Toward Embedded Protostars in Ophiuchus with ALMA. III. Survey Overview
In a complete ALMA survey of embedded protostars in Ophiuchus, 38% are detected in dust polarization, and most detections are consistent with dust self-scattering in inclined, optically thick disks rather than magnetic fields.
