For outflow identification, CO 2-1 data was obtained with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array.&nbsp;</p>

Outflow rate and force are comparable with those of outflows from other HM-YSOs. The physical properties of N1?S1 CO outflow are on the trend connecting low and high-mass regimes, supporting star-forming mode in G25.82?W1 is likely a scaled-up version of low-mass star formation.</p>
