L1488-IRS2E is an object located in the Perseus star forming region. A clump of dense gas and dust L1488-IRS2E is one-tenth as luminous as our sun and thus is unlikely to be a true protostar at this time. However its density is high enough that it is ejecting streams of matter from itself and so it is a likely candidate for the first discovered core in hydrostatic quasi-equilibrium.
