On the Cover

2D sections of the calculated potential v, the density ρ, and the angular motion correlation function ɸ for n He atoms bound to a carbonyl sulfide (OCS) molecule. For n ≤ 5, the helium atoms form a doughnut around the OCS; above this they spill out and spread towards the molecular poles. Large ɸ means that the He atoms are rigidly rotating with the molecule.
