Scientific paper

A new, 34 in resolution far-infrared continuum map of Orion Molecular Cloud 1 and its environs, including M43 is presented. The source is dominated by a single, bright peak at the position of the embedded infrared cluster, with the 60 micro m flux density falling off steeply in all directions away from it. A total luminosity for IRc2 of 20,000 L(solar) is estimated, although this may be a lower limit, depending upon the transfer of radiation in the vicinity of the object. Several condensations appear in this map, which, along with radio molecular observations, support the view that significant fragmentation has taken place within the cloud.
