- The authors have constructed 7arcsec.5 resolution images of the CS J = 2-1 emission from a 3arcmin.5 section of the Orion molecular ridge using a maximum entropy algorithm to combine Owens Valley Millimeter-Wave Interferometer and Onsala Space Observatory 20 m data. The resulting images include all of the flux and have positional accuracy of 1arcsec-2arcsec on the small-scale features. The observed section of the ridge includes four condensations. The condensations have dimensions from 0.03 to 0.11 pc and virial massses from 30 to 80 M_sun;. Approximately 70% of the total mass within the 3arcmin region is contained in these condensations.

- Aperture synthesis observations of the CS J = 2 to 1 line and 95 GHz continuum emission from a 2 arcmin x 3 arcmin region around IRc2 in the OMC-1 molecular cloud have been obtained at 7.5 arcsec resolution with the Owens Valley Radio Observatory millimeter interferometer. These observations reveal four distinct condensations with the OMC-1 molecular ridge. The condensations lie along the edge of the bright central part of the H II region, M 42, suggesting that they may have been formed as a result of shock compression driven by the H II region. Their masses and densities, M about 50 solar masses and n about 10 to the 6th - 10 to the 7th/cu cm, suggest that the condensations will undergo further massive star formation on a short time scale (about 20,000 yr).
