Abstract
A spectral survey of Orion A in the range 330–360 GHz has been performed with the NRAO 12 m telescope. About 180 spectral lines were detected. Most of these lines can be associated with one of 19 distinct chemical species, although a number of lines are yet unidentified. The spectrum is dominated by light symmetric or near-symmetric rotors such as CH3 OH and the asymmetric rotor SO 2. Heavy asymmetric rotors such as HCOOCH3 that are prevalent at lower frequencies are diminished in intensity in this band.
