Test Image 2: Hot Molecular Core G34.26+0.15

An example of ALMA’s potential as a spectroscopic instrument: on the left is the map of the molecular “hot core” G34.26+0.15, which is unresolved with the short baselines that we are presently using, whereas a section of the spectrum near 100 GHz shows a “forest” of molecular lines.
