Velocity Structure in the Orion Nebula. I. Spectral Mapping in Low-Ionization Lines
Ma. T. Garcia-Diaz, W. J. Henney
Abstract
High-dispersion echelle spectroscopy in optical forbidden lines of O0, S+, and S2+ is used to construct velocity-resolved images and electron density maps of the inner region of the Orion nebula with a resolution of 10 km s-1 x 3" x 2". Among the objects and regions newly discovered in this study are (1) the Diffuse Blue Layer: an extended layer of moderately blue-shifted, low-density, low-ionization emission in the southeast region of the nebula; (2) the Red Bay: a region to the east of the Trapezium where the usual correlation between velocity and ionization potential is very weak, and where the emitting layer is very thick; and (3) HH 873: a new redshifted jet to the southwest of the Trapezium.
