Submillimeter emission from water in the W3 region *
Abstract
Using the Odin satellite, we have mapped the submillimeter emission from the transition of ortho-water in the W3 star-forming region. A map of the W3 IRS4 and W3 IRS5 region reveals strong water lines at half the positions in the map. The relative strength of the Odin lines compared to previous observations by SWAS suggests that we are seeing water emission from an extended region. Across much of the map the lines are double-peaked, with an …
