Both radio continuum (0.3, 0.7, 2 and 3.6~cm) and spectral lines of H41$\\alpha$, $^{13}$CS(2$-$1) \\& (1$-$0), and NH$_{\\rm 3}$(2,2) \\& (4,4) observations are included. We find two 3~mm continuum peaks toward G12.21--0.10, one of them is spatially coincident with the UC~H~II region, while the other coincides spatially with a molecular clump. We also find that the 0.7, 2 and 3.6~cm continuum and H41$\\alpha$ line are only detected toward the UC~H~II region, while the $^{13}$CS, and NH$_{\\rm 3}$ is spatially associated with the molecular clump. Based on the morphology, kinetic temperature ($\\sim$86~K), volumetric density ($\\sim$1.5$\\times$10$^6$~cm$^{-3}$) and linear size ($\\sim$0.22~pc) of the molecular clump, we suggest this source is consistent with a hot molecular core.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-12-14T00:00:46.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "hot molecular core", "extended emission g12", "molecular clump", "ultracompact", "region g12" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
