Detection of the CO (J˙=7→6) rotational transition at λ=0.37 millimeters toward Orion

The J = 7 = 6 rotational transition of carbon monoxide has been detected toward the Kleinmann-Low nebula. The peak antenna temperature is 110 + or - 35 K centered at V(LSR) = + 5 km/s; the FWHM line width is 35 + or - 5 km/s, and its optical depth is not greater than 0.3. The integrated intensity of...

Zusammenfassung:	The J = 7 = 6 rotational transition of carbon monoxide has been detected toward the Kleinmann-Low nebula. The peak antenna temperature is 110 + or - 35 K centered at V(LSR) = + 5 km/s; the FWHM line width is 35 + or - 5 km/s, and its optical depth is not greater than 0.3. The integrated intensity of the line between - 20 and + 30 km/s leads to a total flux density of (2.5 + or - 0.5) x 10 to the -14th W/sq m in a beam of 35 + or - 5 arsec. No spike feature is seen at + 9 km/s.
