Abstract:
The nearby Chamaeleon molecular cloud complex is an excellent laboratory for
studying the process of low-mass star formation because it consists of three
clouds with very different properties. Chamaeleon III does not show any sign
of star formation, while star formation has been very active in Chamaeleon I
and may already be finishing. We will present the results of an unbiased
continuum survey for starless and protostellar cores performed toward both
clouds with the Large APEX Bolometer Array (LABOCA) at 870 microns. We will
discuss the dynamical state and fate of the starless cores detected in both
clouds.
