Abstract
Continuum observations of the Orion Nebula, obtained at 20 cm using the A, B, C, and D configurations of the VLA during 1986-1987, are reported. Radio images of resolution 1.8 x 1.6 arcsec are presented and analyzed, with a focus on (1) the complex cone structure of M 42 and (2) an extended network of bright stringlike features concentrated near the Trapezium cluster. Possible theoretical explanations of these features are explored, starting from the blister model of H II regions developed by Tenorio and Tagle (1979).
