The Orion molecular cloud OMC-1 is the perfect object for the study of the dense interstellar medium accounting for active star formation; the intrinsic complexity of this region serves as a stallion, both for observing techniques and for interstellar medium modelling.
A detailed dynamic and spectroscopic study has been performed using VLT and CFHT observations of the infrared Kleinmann-Low nebula; yielding a complete small-scale structure in velocity and most importantly powerful diagnosis tools in order to put a new light into the gas behaviour.
These results allow to build up a consistent model of the gas excitation, and a clear dynamical view of the region. The crucial action of the shock waves is confirmed, and the discrepancies between the observations and the standard models are discussed.
The consequences of this modelling will be discussed in terms of extinction, magnetic field, and other quantities related to induced star formation. The goodness of the models used for the interpretations will be also discussed and some future directions of investigation enhanced.
