    Description: A tentative detection of the J = 1 - 0 emission line of (C-13)O has been obtained with SEST from a 24.4 hour integration. The velocity resolution used was 0.23 km/s and the FWHP beamwidth was 45 arcsec. If the (C-13)O line data are conservatively interpreted as an upper limit, the (C-12)O/(C-13)O ratio is not less than 60. Our result supports the previous determination of a large value of the isotope ratio in this cloud, made using radio emission lines with a 1.6-arcmin beam, and extends the ratio based on emission lines to a smaller region. When interpreted as a lower limit, our data is consistent with the ratio obtained from UV absorption line data for (C-12)O and (C-13)O.

    Description: We present an analysis of density, temperature, and excitation conditions in a one half square degree region around BN/KL in Orion A using new C(O-l8) J = 1 yields 0 and J = 2 yields 1 data. This paper extends a previous study of Orion A, based on a multitransition analysis of (C-13)O, to the optically thinner C(O-18) species that traces better the dense inner regions of giant molecular clouds. From the C(O-18) maps we identify several condensations and are able to derive their size, linewidth, average density, mass, and virial mass.

    Description: Evidence is found for periodic density structure in the highly fragmented interior of the Orion A molecular cloud from analysis of a large scale map of C(O-18) J = 1 - 0 emission. The spatial wavelength is about 1 parsec, and extends at least over 2 degrees along the main filament of Orion A and is also observed in other filamentary structures in Orion. This periodicity in the clumps is a result of externally triggered and magnetically mediated cloud collapse and fragmentation.

    Description: The detection of a second high-velocity bipolar flow in the dark cloud B335 located in the diffuse envelope to the east of the core is reported. This flow has the same orientation as the first one. The visual extinction in the region between the redshifted and blueshifted lobes is less than or about 1 mag and is not coincident with a condensation. The flow is not associated with any known infrared source in the IRAS catalog. The new flow is about three times older than the first, and its energetics are somewhat smaller. The flows are aligned not only with each other but also with the long axis of the structure of B335 as outlined by CO maps, suggesting that magnetic fields have a role in guiding the flow. From the presence of multiple flows and the structure of the envelope, it is concluded that B335 is at the end of its starbearing life, rather than a young cloud beginning star formation, as previously supposed.

    Description: CO maps of the Bok globule B335 are presented and used to derive its density profile, mass distribution, and rotational velocity structure. It is found that the cloud is in nearly hydrostatic equilibrium with a density profile that varies roughly as r to the -1 in the core and r to the -3 in the envelope. The observed rotation is unimportant in the force balance at the present stage of evolution.

    Description: A CS map of the galactic center region is presented consisting of 15,000 spectra covering -1 deg. less than 3. deg. 6 min., -0 deg.4 min. less than b less than 0 deg. 4 min., each having an rms noise of 0.15 K in 1 MHz filters. CS is a high-excitation molecule, meaning that it is excited into emission only when the ambient density is less than n much greater than or approx. 2 x 10 to the 4th power/cu cm CS emission in the inner 2 deg. of the galaxy is nearly as pervasive as CO emission, in stark contrast to the outer galaxy where CS emission is confined to cloud cores. Galactic center clouds are on average much more dense than outer Galaxy clouds. This can be understood as a necessary consequence of the strong tidal stresses in the inner galaxy.

    Description: Carbon monoxide column densities are compared to visual extinctions toward field stars in the rho Oph and Taurus molecular cloud complexes. The relationship of C(0-18) column density to extinction is established, and new determinations for (C-13)O column densities are given for a range of visual extinctions extended to beyond 20 mag. A prescription for determining hydrogen column densities and masses of molecular clouds from observations of CO isotopes is presented and discussed critically. These measurements agree well with the predictions of gas phase chemistry models which include chemical fractionation and selective isotopic photodestruction. The functional dependence of the C(O-18) column density on extinction is characterized by two different regimes separated by a distinct transition observed to occur at 4 mag in both molecular cloud complexes, whereas the functional dependence of (C-13)O is quite different in the two regions. Some saturation is found to occur for C(O-18) emission at high visual extinction and use the rarer isotopic species C(O-17) and (C-13)(O-18) to correct for it.

    Description: Two rotational transitions of CCD, N = 1-2 at 144 GHz and 2-3 at 216 GHz, were detected in a laboratory glow discharge through deuterated acetylene and helium, after which one, N = 2-1, was detected toward the rich molecular cloud behind the Orion Nebula. The 144 GHz transition is a well-resolved spin doublet split by 55 MHz, the components of which contain hyperfine structure of the order of 1 MHz, so far only partially resolved. From observations toward two positions in Orion, at and near the Kleinmann-Low nebula, the column density of CCD is determined to be 1.8 x 10 to the 13th/sq cm and the isotopic ratio CCD/CCH = 0.05. CCD was not detected at two positions in TMC-1.

    Description: IRAS and (C-13)O data are presented for the dark cloud Barnard 5. The 100-micron and (C-13)O emission are well correlated and suggest that the 100-micron emission traces the dust and gas column density through the cloud. The 12-micron emission, on the other hand, is anticorrelated with the overall opacity in the cloud, which is interpreted as limb brightening in the context of a model in which small dust grains, probably PAHs, are transiently excited by the absorption of UV photons in a thin shell around the denser parts of the cloud.
