We present the first submm (865mum) imaging spectral line survey at one arcsecond resolution conducted with the Submillimeter Array toward Orion-KL. Within the 2x2 GHz bandpasses (lower and upper sidebands, 337.2-339.2GHz and…

Submillimeter Array observations of Orion-KL at 1'' resolution in the 440mu/690GHz band reveal new insights about the continuum and line emission of the region. The 440mu continuum flux density measurement from source I allows us to…

Recent interferometric observations have called into question the traditional view of the Orion-KL region, which displays one of the most well-defined cases of chemical differentiation in a star-forming region. Previous, lower-resolution…
