A map of OMC-1 in CO 9-8
The distribution of 12C16O J=9-8 (1.037 THz) emission has been mapped in
OMC-1 at 35 points with 84" resolution. This is the first map of this source in
this transition and only the second velocity-resolved ground-based observation
of a line in the terahertz frequency band. There is emission present at all
points in the map, a region roughly 4' by 6' in size, with peak antenna
temperature dropping only near the edges. Away from the Orion KL outflow, the
velocity structure suggests that most of the emission comes from the OMC-1
photon-dominated region, with a typical linewidthof 3-6 km/s. Large velocity
gradient modeling of the emission in J=9-8 and six lower transitions suggests
that the lines originate in regions with temperatures around 120 K and
densities of at least 10^(3.5) cm^(-3) near theta^(1) C Ori and at the Orion
Bar, and from 70 K gas at around 10^(4) cm^(-3) southeast and west of the bar.
These observations are among the first made with the 0.8 m Smithsonian
Astrophysical Observatory Receiver Lab Telescope, a new instrument designed to
observe at frequencies above 1 THz from an extremely high and dry site in
northern Chile.Comment: Minor changes to references, text to match ApJ versio
