Abstract
The M17SW molecular cloud core has been mapped at high resolution in t he (CO)O-17 J = 3 --> 2 transition and in 450, 600, 800, 1100 and 1300 mum continuum emission, using the JCMT. The clumpy nature of the clou d core is clearly revealed and the northern condensation has been reso lved into 3 main clumps, each of which lies close to an H2O maser, sug gesting that they may contain young embedded stellar objects.
