This work was supported by National Science Foundation grant AST 84-12473.
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.
