The fundamental OH rotational transition at 2514 GHz has been observed in the Orion IRc2 region at a spectral resolution of 0.6 km/s. The emission is spatially compact and centered near IRc2. A comparison of the observed profile with spectra of other species known to exist in the region suggests that the entire blueshifted side of the OH profile has been self-absorbed, leaving only a redshifted emission component. 20 refs.
