Abstract

A spectral line survey of Orion KL has been performed over the frequency range of 486-492 GHz and 541-577 GHz using the Odin satellite. Over 1000 lines have been identified from 40 different molecular species, including several organic compounds such as methyl cyanide (CH3CN), methanol (CH3OH, (CH3OH)-C-13), and dimethyl ether (CH3OCH3).
