  1. Large Scale CO Emission in the Orion Nebula HST CO (2-1) NúriaMarcelino (NRAO-CV) Olivier Berné (Leiden Obs, The Netherlands) José Cernicharo (CSIC/INTA, Spain)

  2. The closest (brightest) massive star forming region Prototypical source: observed at almost all wavelengths Star formation features: hot cores, HII regions, protostars, circumstellar disks, outflows, HH objects, PDRs, etc. 12CO and 13CO: spatial distribution, kinematics, and column densities of molecular gas Previous large scale CO maps have poor spectral and/or angular resolution Motivations Postdoc Symposium, April 11 2011

IRAM 30M radiotelescope(Granada, Spain) Size 1ox0.8o (63 submaps), centeredat IRc2/KL : =05h35m14.5s, =-05o22’29.3’’ HERA 3x3 multibeam receiver 12CO (2-1) @ 230.5 GHz 13CO (2-1) @ 220.4 GHz Angular resolution ~ 11’’ (0.02 pc @ 414 pc) Velocity resolution ~ 0.4 km/s Observations Postdoc Symposium, April 11 2011

  13. Orion Waves • Expansion of the HII region • provoked Kelvin-Helmholtz • instabilities and cloud • fragmentation • Intense and ionizing stellar irradiation caused the acceleration of the clumps • First observational evidence of KH instabilities, result of hydrodynamicalfeedback of massive stars on their parental cloud Berné, Marcelino & Cernicharo (Nature, 466, 947) Postdoc Symposium, April 11 2011

  14. 12CO emission @ 8 to 12 km/s Postdoc Symposium, April 11 2011

  15. 12CO emission @ 12 to 25 km/s Postdoc Symposium, April 11 2011

  16. 12CO emission @ 12 to 25 km/s SCUBA 850 m Postdoc Symposium, April 11 2011

  17. Very complex dynamics and velocity structure Clumps, filaments, cavities, pillars/cometary globules, outflows, etc. Interaction between massive star winds, HII regions, and molecular ambient cloud: energy transport, turbulence, formation of filaments, triggered star formation, etc. High angular and spectral resolutions are essential to study in detail these processes Conclusions Postdoc Symposium, April 11 2011
