We have mapped with the French submillimeter balloon-borne telescope ProNaOS the thermal emission of the dust in the M42 Orion Nebula. The map obtained is 50 by 40 with an angular resolution of about 3 in the four efficient wavelengths 200 $mic$, 260 $mic$, 360 $mic$ and 580 $mic$. The temperature and index we obtain are highly variable within the studied region: the temperature varies from 12 K to 70 K, and the spectral index from 1.1 to 2.2. The statistical analysis of the temperature and spectral index spatial distribution in this region, as well as in the other regions mapped by ProNaOS, shows an evidence of an inverse correlation between these two parameters. We deduce the column densities of gas and the masses. Being invisible in the IRAS 100 $mic$ survey, some cold clouds are likely to be the seeds for future star formation activity going on in the complex.

We present a compilation of PRONAOS-based results concerning the temperature dependence of the dust submillimeter spectral index, including data from Galactic cirrus, star-forming regions, dust associated to a young stellar object, and a spiral galax
y. We observe large variations of the spectral index (from 0.8 to 2.4) in a wide range of temperatures (11 to 80 K). These spectral index variations follow a hyperbolic-shaped function of the temperature, high spectral indices (1.6-2.4) being observed in cold regions (11-20 K) while low indices (0.8-1.6) are observed in warm regions (35-80 K). Three distinct effects may play a role in this temperature dependence: one is that the grain sizes change in dense environments, another is that the chemical composition of the grains is not the same in different environments, a third one is that there is an intrinsic dependence of the dust spectral index on the temperature due to quantum processes. This last effect is backed up by laboratory measurements and could be the dominant one.
We present here a compilation of PRONAOS-based results concerning the temperature dependence of the dust submillimeter spectral index, including data from Galactic cirrus, star-forming regions and a circumstellar envelope. We observe large variations
of the spectral index (from 0.8 to 2.4) in a wide range of temperatures (12 to 80 K). These spectral index variations follow a hyperbolic-shaped function of the temperature, large spectral indices (1.5-2.4) being observed in cold regions (12-20 K) while small indices (0.8-1.6) are observed in warm regions (35-80 K). Three interpretations are proposed: one is that the grain sizes change in warm and rather dense environments, another is that the chemical composition of the grains is not the same in different environments, a third one is that there is an intrinsic dependence of the dust spectral index on the temperature due to quantum processes.
We present here the continuum submillimeter maps of the molecular cloud around the M42 Nebula in the Orion region. These have been obtained in four wavelength bands (200, 260, 360 and 580 microns) with the ProNaOS two meter balloon-borne telescope. T
he area covered is 7 parsecs wide (50 arcmin at a distance of 470 pc) with a spatial resolution of about 0.4 parsec. Thanks to the high sensitivity to faint surface brightness gradients, we have found several cold condensations with temperatures ranging from 12 to 17 K, within 3 parsecs of the dense ridge. The statistical analysis of the temperature and spectral index spatial distribution shows an evidence of an inverse correlation between these two parameters. Being invisible in the IRAS 100 micron survey, some cold clouds are likely to be the seeds for future star formation activity going on in the complex. We estimate their masses and we show that two of them have masses higher than their Jeans masses, and may be gravitationally unstable.
The balloon-borne submillimeter instrument PRONAOS has observed one square degree areas towards the Orion and M17 molecular clouds. The 2 - 3.5 resolution maps obtained in four wide wavelength bands between 200 microns and 600 microns, exhibit the du
st distribution in these regions. We analyze the temperature and spectral index of the dust, and we show the anticorrelation between these two parameters. We derive estimations of the ISM column densities and masses in these regions.
We characterize the stellar and gas volume density, potential, and gravitational field profiles in the central $sim$ 0.5 pc of the Orion Nebula Cluster (ONC), the nearest embedded star cluster (or rather, proto-cluster) hosting massive star formation
available for detailed observational scrutiny. We find that the stellar volume density is well characterized by a Plummer profile $rho_{stars}(r) = 5755,{rm M}_{odot},{rm pc}^{-3},(1+(r/a)^2)^{-5/2}$, where $a = 0.36$ pc. The gas density follows a cylindrical power law $rho_{gas}(R) = 25.9,{rm M}_{odot},{rm pc}^{-3},(R/{rm pc})^{-1.775}$. The stellar density profile dominates over the gas density profile inside $r,sim,1$ pc. The gravitational field is gas-dominated at all radii, but the contribution to the total field by the stars is nearly equal to that of the gas at $r,sim,a$. This fact alone demonstrates that the proto-cluster cannot be considered a gas-free system or a virialized system dominated by its own gravity. The stellar proto-cluster core is dynamically young, with an age of $sim$ 2-3 Myr, a 1D velocity dispersion of $sigma_{rm obs} = 2.6$ km s$^{-1}$, and a crossing time of $sim$ 0.55 Myr. This timescale is almost identical to the gas filament oscillation timescale estimated recently by Stutz & Gould (2016). This provides strong evidence that the proto-cluster structure is regulated by the gas filament. The proto-cluster structure may be set by tidal forces due to the oscillating filamentary gas potential. Such forces could naturally suppress low density stellar structures on scales $gtrsim,a$. The analysis presented here leads to a new suggestion that clusters form by an analog of the slingshot mechanism previously proposed for stars.
