It is known that stars in GMCs are often born as clusters. Recently, near infrared imaging has enabled us to study the young stars within molecular clouds (e.g., Lada & Lada 1991). Orion Molecular Cloud 2 (OMC2) is located 12' north of the Trapezium cluster in the Orion A cloud, and contains a cluster of about 20 near-IR sources and several FIR sources distributed within a diameter of 0.2 pc (Rayner et al... 1989; Johnson et al. 1990; Mezger, Wink, & Zylka 1990). By large scale mapping observations using the NRO 45 m telescope, this infrared cluster is found to be associated with a dense molecular core (Tatematsu et al. 1993, Umemoto et al. 1993). The region was observed using the Nobeyama Millimeter Array (NMA) to elucidate the structure and cluster formation process within a core.
