Deuterium enhancement in water toward Orion IRc2 deduced from HDO lines above 800 GHz

We present the first detection of two submillimeter lines of HDO in the KL region of Orion: J(Ka, Kb) = 2(1,2) --> 1(1,1) (848.9619 GHz), and 1(1,1) - -> 0(0,0) (893.6387 GHz). The first line has been mapped at 10 " angular re solution. These transitions involve some of the lowest energy levels of HDO and have the shortest wavelengths accessible from the ground. Therefore, t hey provide a perfect tool to complement previous works that made use of mi llimeter HDO transitions involving similar energy levels (1(1,0) --> 1(1,1) at 80.6 GHz, 2(1,1) --> 2(1,2) at 241.6 GHz, and others). The two submilli meter lines arise from the moderate expanding material or "Plateau" (v(LSR) similar to 9 km s(-1), Deltav greater than or equal to 20 km s(-1)). The e mission is very compact in both HDO transitions (no more extended than simi lar to 40 " -45 ") with similar intensities, line shapes, and line widths. The Hot Core seems completely hidden in our data in contrast with the major ity of other millimeter-wave observations. This fact can only be explained if the Hot Core is embedded or behind the region of the outflow. The high l ine opacity of the submillimeter HDO lines would then hide the Hot Core emi ssion. A comparison with our previously published high angular resolution p ara-H2O data (3(1,3) --> 2(2,0) at 183.31 GHz, and 5(1,5) --> 4(2,2) at 325 .15 GHz) can be performed to derive the HDO/H2O ratio in the "Plateau" warm molecular environment. We have found this ratio to be in the range 0.004 t o 0.01. Such a high value, taking into account that the kinetic temperature exceeds 150 K, clearly supports the idea that the observed HDO has recentl y evaporated from dust grain mantles.
