Abstract:
We present results from a survey of a 900 arcmin^2^ region of the
Orion B molecular cloud, including NGC 2068, NGC 2071, and HH
24/25/26, at 850{mu}m using the Submillimeter Common-User Bolometer
Array (SCUBA) on the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope. Following the
techniques developed by Johnstone et al. (2000ApJ...545..327J), we
identify 75 independent objects and compute size, flux, and degree of
central concentration. Comparison with isothermal, pressure-confined,
self-gravitating Bonnor-Ebert spheres implies that the clumps have
internal temperatures of 20-40K and surface pressures
5.5<log(P/k)[CGS]<6.5. The clump masses span 0.2-12.3M_{sun}_ assuming
typical dust temperatures and a dust emissivity
{kappa}_850_=0.01cm^2^/g.
