Description
Measurements of the 6_16_ -> 5_23_ line of H_2_O at 1.3cm in the Orion region of star formation are reported. With a spatial resolution of ~0.1", H_2_O maser emission was detected in two regions: Orion BN/KL and Orion S. The well-known masers in the BN/KL region are distributed in a 30"x30" area. The "shell" masers, within the BN/KL region, are distributed in a 2" by 0.5" strip centered on radio source I and are offset from IRc2.
