Comments

One of the seminal observational papers on Orion. Low/medium resolution spectrophotometry with an EW-oriented slit, extending to the W for 5 arcmin, starting from 30 arcsec W of θ1C.

Also contains extensive analysis of physical conditions in terms of a Cloudy model. However, this part is not so useful since the model is for a static, constant-pressure slab.
