CSO obtained a new high-fidelity map of CO
7-6 emission of the Orion massive star forming region.
CO J=7-6 emission map taken at the CSO (Green and white contours)
overlaid on
the dust continuum emission map taken at 350 micron (magenta
contours).
The blue triangles with source names show the positions of young
stars. The yellow
stars mark the positions of the Trapezium members. The hatched
ellipse at the
bottom left corder indicates the spatial resolution of the CO 7-6 map.

CSO captures an early stage of massive star
formation with SMA.
CSO and SMA observations in CO (2-1) of the bipolar outflow in
G240.31+0.07.
The CSO data are shown in contours, with approaching (blue-shifted)
material
in solid lines and receding (red-shifted) material in dashed lines. The
SMA data
are color-coded blue for approaching and red for receding gas. A yellow
star
denotes the site of the massive young star driving the outflow.
