Abstract

Recent VLA radio observations of a ≡3arcmin×3arcmin region of the Orion Nebula, centered near the core of the KL nebula, revealing the presence of thirty-five ultracompact radio sources are discussed. Twenty-five of the radio sources are clustered near θ1C Orionis, the most luminous star of the Trapezium cluster, and have optical counterparts. Most of these objects are probably neutral condensations surrounded by ionized envelopes that are excited by θ1C. A suggestion for the sequential formation of the Orion radio zoo species is made, as is for the triggering mechanism.
