Ga. Blake et al., A LAMBDA=1.3 MILLIMETER APERTURE SYNTHESIS MOLECULAR LINE SURVEY OF ORION KLEINMANN-LOW, The Astrophysical journal, 472(1), 1996, pp. 49
We present a 1 ''.3 spatial resolution interferometric spectral line s
urvey of the core of the Orion molecular cloud, obtained with the OVRO
millimeter array. Covering 4 GHz bandwidth in total, the survey conta
ins similar to 100 emission lines from 18 chemical species. The spatia
l distributions of a number of molecules point to source I near the IR
c2 complex as the dominant energy source in the region but do not rule
out the presence of additional lower luminosity objects. At arcsecond
resolution, the offsets between dust emission and various molecular t
racers suggest that the spectacular ''hot core'' emission in the Orion
core arises via the heating and ablation of material from the surface
s of very high density clumps located greater than or similar to 500 A
U from source I and traced by the dust emission. We find no evidence f
or a strong internal heating source within the hot core condensation(s
).
