Physics

We present results from a survey of a 1300 arcmin region of the Orion B South molecular cloud, including NGC 2024, NGC 2023, and the Horsehead Nebula (B33), obtained using the Submillimetre Common-User Bolometer Array (SCUBA) on the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope. Submillimeter continuum observations at 450μm and 850μm are discussed. Using an automated algorithm, 57 discrete emission features (“clumps”) are identified in the 850μm map. The physical conditions within these clumps are investigated… CONTINUE READING
