Herschel-SPIRE spectroscopy of the DR21 molecular cloud core

We present far-infrared spectra and maps of the DR21 molecular cloud core between 196 and 671 mu m, using the Herschel-SPIRE spectrometer. Nineteen molecular lines originating from CO, (CO)-C-13, HCO+ and H2O, plus lines of [N II] and [CI] were recorded, including several transitions not previously detected. The CO lines are excited in warm gas with T-kin similar to 125 K and n(H2) similar to 7x10(4) cm(-3), CO column density N(CO) similar to 3.5x10(18) cm(-2) and a filling factor of similar to 12%, and appear to trace gas associated with an outflow. The rotational temperature analysis incorporating observations from ground-based telescopes reveals an additional lower excitation CO compoment which has a temperature similar to 78 K and N(CO) similar to 4.5x10(21) cm(-2).
