Summary

The unusual HMSFR Orion Becklin-Neuberger (Orion BN/KL) at the heart of the Orion Molecular Cloud-1 (OMC-1) is examined, with its associated explosive outflow of gas and dust. Its four well-studied features are the Hot Core, Compact Ridge, Plateau, and Extended Ridge. These sources offer much evidence for the sequential chemical processing of shocked molecular cloud material and indicate just how violent the dynamic processes associated with HMSFRs can be.
