Scientific paper

Sensitive observations of carbon monoxide toward the Kleinmann-Low (KL) infrared nebular in Orion have revealed the presence of low-level emission extending over a radial velocity range of at least 150 km/s. The high-velocity emission appears to be localized in a region not exceeding about 1 arcmin in diameter centered on KL. The high-velocity gas is probably associated with pre-rather than post-main-sequence object(s). However, the intensity of line radiation at these high velocities is not easily explained with simple models of mass outflow, gravitational collapse, or rotation.
