Description:
This catalog comprised surveys of the Orion A molecular emission lines
from 200.7-202.3, 203.7-205.3, and 330.5-360.1 GHz. These surveys were
done by using the 12 m radio telescope of the National Radio Astronomy
Observatory (NRAO). For the 870 microns (um) atmospheric window, about
160 distinct spectral features composed of nearly 180 lines were
detected. For the other two bands 42 distinct, new spectral lines were
detected. The new interstellar lines in the survey bands were
tabulated in FITS format. This new data base would be a useful
resource for further analyses of abundances and excitation of known
Orion A species and for determining unidentified lines for use in
molecule identification. The single-dish FITS format in FITS table
extension was adopted to create this catalog. The data were tabulated
in the order of Figures 1-39, including both the unshifted and shifted
spectra in each figure (Jewell et al., 1989). Single Dish header
parameters were represented in the table's header, and the data
comprised the actual table in ASCII. Various FITS Tables keywords were
given in great detail for describing the format of the table and how a
computer program could read it.

Remarks:
The Orion A survey data were received by the Astronomical Data Center
(ADC), NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, from Dr. Phil Jewell on
September 10, 1990. The data images of the spectra were written in
the exact order that the figures appear in the journal paper.
The lower sideband (LSB) frequencies (in MHz) of the 75 tables were
summarized in the following list (table number vs. LSB):
