A total of 442 lines were detected, more than 200 for the first time; 149 are unassigned. Maps at an angular resolution of ~3'' were obtained for each line. A substantial new population of narrow lines with an expansion velocity of ~4 km s –1 (i.e., ##IMG## [http://ej.iop.org/icons/Entities/ap.gif] {≈} 30% of the terminal velocity) was detected. Most of these are attributed to rotational transitions within vibrationally excited states, emitted from energy levels above the v = 0, J = 0 ground state with excitation energy of 1000-3000 K. Emission from these lines appears to be centered on the star with an angular extent of <1''. We use multiple transitions detected in several molecules to derive physical conditions in this inner envelope of IRC+10216.} }
