Abstract

An investigation is conducted of data of CO emission from the Orion molecular cloud and a map of the positions of local antenna temperature maxima for the cloud is obtained. The inner region of the map suggests the possibility of spiral arm structure. There is evidence for rotation. It is also noted that the Orion central peak frequency profile is devoid of wavelike structure. The suggested model is a disk rotating about its axis of symmetry.
