We used these telescopes to study the \\uchiir G43.89--0.78. The morphological study at arcminute scales using NVSS and \\textit{Spitzer} data shows that this region is similar to those observed in the \\textit{ bubble--like} structures revealed by \\textit{Spitzer} observations. With this result, and including a physical characterization based on 3.6 cm data, we suggest G43.89--0.78 be classified as an \\uchiir with Extended Emission because it meets the operational definition given in this paper comparing radio continuum data at 3.6 and 20~cm. For the ultra-compact component, we use VLA data to obtain physical parameters at 3.6~cm confirming this region as an \\uchii region. Using ALMA observations, we detect the presence of a dense ($2.6\\times10^7$ cm$^{-3}$) and small ($\\sim$ 2.0\\arcsec; 0.08 pc) molecular clump with a mass of 220 M$_{\\odot}$ and average kinetic temperature of 21~K, located near to the \\uchii region. In this clump, catalogued as G43.890--0.784, water masers also exist, possibly tracing a bipolar outflow. We discover in this vicinity two additional clumps which we label as G43.899--0.786 (T$_d$ = 50 K; M = 11 M$_{\\odot}$), and G43.888--0.787 (T$_d$ = 50 K; M = 15 M$_{\\odot}$).", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-07-20T19:32:44.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "ultracompact hii regions", "extended emission", "molecular environment", "owens valley radio observatory", "molecular clump" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 13, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
