Compact H II regions in the molecular cloud G35.2 - 0.74

High-resolution 6-cm continuum observations of the molecular cloud G35.2 - 0.74 are presented. Two sources associated with the cloud were detected one of which (G35.2S) is a near-symmetric HII region with a diameter of approx. 0.37 pc. It is thought that a stellar wind, rather than pressure expansion of the HII region, could be responsible for the unusual 3-km s-1 molecular line-splitting observed around this object. The second continuum source (G35.2N) has a double-peaked structure, with an orientation very close to that of the surrounding dense elongated molecular cloud. (author)
