Scientific paper

We present new K-band Focal Plane Array (KFPA) maps of ammonia in the G111 Infrared Dark Cloud near NGC 7538. We observe NH3 (1,1) and (2,2) inversion transitions simultaneously on each of the KFPA's seven pixels. We also present a temperature map of the filament from the ratio of these two lines. We also present H20 masers mapped with the KFPA. We directly compare the kinetic gas temperature with the dust temperature estimated from continuum observations. We also estimate the contribution from turbulence along the filament. We compare the properties of NH3 and H2O emission with evolutionary indicators for the G111 cores.
