VLT/NACO infrared adaptive optics images of small scale structures in OMC1

Résumé

Near-infrared observations of line emission from excited H 2 and in the continuum are reported in the direction of the Orion molecular cloud OMC1 , using the European Southern Observatory Very Large Telescope UT4 , equipped with the NAOS adaptive optics system on the CONICA infrared array camera. Spatial resolution has been achieved at close to the diffraction limit of the telescope (0. 08 −0. 12) and images show a wealth of morphological detail. Structure is not fractal but shows two preferred scale sizes of 2. (1100 AU) and 1. 2 (540 AU) , where the larger scale may be associated with star formation. Key words. ISM : individual objects : OMC1 – ISM : circumstellar matter – ISM : kinematics and dynamics – ISM : molecules – infrared : ISM
