By using previously published observations in B and D VLA~configurations, we compiled a final catalogue of 21 ultracompact \\hiirs ~directly connected with the surrounding extended emission. The observed morphology of most of the ultracompact \\hiirs~in radio continuum emission is irregular (single or multi-peaked sources) and resembles a classical bubble structure in the Galactic plane with well-defined cometary arcs. Radio continuum images superimposed on colour composite \\textit{Spitzer} images reinforce the assignations of direct connection by the spatial coincidence between the ultracompact components and regions of saturated 24~\\micron~emission. We also find that the presence of extended emission may be crucial to understand the observed infrared-excess because an underestimation of ionizing Lyman photons was considered in previous works.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-12-19T00:25:46.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "extended emission", "ultracompact", "complete view", "direct connection", "radio continuum images" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 21, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
