A New Look at the Molecular Gas in M42 and M43: Possible Evidence for Cloud-Cloud Collision that Triggered Formation of the OB Stars in the Orion Nebula Cluster

The Orion Nebula Cluster toward the H ii region M42 is the most outstanding young cluster at the smallest distance (410 pc) among the rich high-mass stellar clusters. By newly analyzing the archival molecular data of the 12CO(J = 1-0) emission at 21″ resolution, we identified at least three pairs of...
