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.
