The 4.1-mm continuum emission shows a peak at the Trapezium stars and an extension to the west, where the molecular and IR sources are. The 4-mm line of para-formaldehyde has a similar distribution to that of the 3-mm line of HCN and extends more to the north than the 2-mm line of ortho-formaldehyde. This probably means a lower temperature in the northern part of the cloud.
