(abridged) We present high angular resolution (~ 1) multi-tracer spectral line observations toward the hot core associated with G34.26+0.15 between 87--109 GHz. We have mapped emission from (i) complex nitrogen- and oxygen-rich molecules like CH3OH, HC3N, C2H5CN, NH2CHO, CH3OCH3, HCOOCH3; (ii) sulfur-bearing molecules like OCS, SO and SO2; and (iii) the recombination line H53 beta. The high angular resolution enables us to directly probe the hot molecular core associated with G34.26+0.15 at spatial scales of 0.018 pc. At this resolution we find no evidence for the hot core being internally heated. The continuum peak detected at lambda=2.8 mm is consistent with the free-free emission from component C of the ultracompact H II region. Velocity structure and morphology outlined by the different tracers suggest that the hot core is primarily energized by component C. Emission from the N- and O-bearing molecules peak at different positions within the innermost regions of the core; none is coincident with the continuum peak. Based on the brightness temperatures of optically thick lines in our sample, we estimate the kinetic temperature of the inner regions of the HMC to be 160+-30 K. Comparison of the observed abundances of the different species in G34.26+0.15 with existing models does not produce a consistent picture.

Context. This study is part of a large project to study the physics of accretion and molecular outflows towards a selected sample of high-mass star-forming regions that show evidence of infall and rotation from previous studies. Aims. We wish to make
a thorough study at high-angular resolution of the structure and kinematics of the HMCs and corresponding molecular outflows in the high-mass star-forming region G24.78+0.08. Methods. We carried out SMA and IRAM PdBI observations at 1.3 and 1.4 mm, respectively, of dust and of typical high-density and molecular outflow tracers with resolutions of <1. Complementary IRAM 30-m 12CO and 13CO observations were carried out to recover the short spacing information of the molecular outflows. Results. The millimeter continuum emission towards cores G24 A1 and A2 has been resolved into 3 and 2 cores, respectively, and named A1, A1b, A1c, A2, and A2b. All these cores are aligned in a southeast-northwest direction coincident with that of the molecular outflows detected in the region, which suggests a preferential direction for star formation in this region. The masses of the cores range from 7 to 22 Msun, and the rotational temperatures from 128 to 180 K. The high-density tracers have revealed the existence of 2 velocity components towards A1, one of them peaks close to the position of the millimeter continuum peak and of the HC HII region, and is associated with the velocity gradient seen in CH3CN towards this core, while the other one peaks southwest of core A1 and is not associated with any millimeter continuum emission peak. The position-velocity plots along outflow A and the 13CO averaged blueshifted and redshifted emission indicate that this outflow is driven by core A2.
We present the results from arcsecond resolution observations of various line transitions at 1.3 mm toward hypercompact HII region G28.20-0.04N. With the SMA data, we have detected and mapped the transitions in the CH$_{3}$CN, CO, $^{13}$CO, SO$_{2}$
, OCS, and CH$_{3}$OH molecular lines as well as the radio recombination line H30$alpha$. The observations and analysis indicate a hot core associated with G28.20-0.04N. The outflow and possible rotation are detected in this region.
We present high angular resolution 1.1mm continuum and spectroscopic ALMA observations of the well-known massive proto-cluster Mon R 2 IRS 3.The continuum image at 1.1mm shows two components, IRS 3 A and IRS 3 B, that are separated by $sim$0.65$$. We
estimate that IRS 3 A is responsible of $sim$80 % of the continuum flux, being the most massive component. We explore the chemistry of IRS 3 A based on the spectroscopic observations. In particular, we have detected intense lines of S-bearing species such as SO, SO$_2$, H$_2$CS and OCS, and of the Complex Organic Molecules (COMs) methyl formate (CH$_3$OCHO) and dimethyl ether (CH$_3$OCH$_3$). The integrated intensity maps of most species show a compact clump centered on IRS 3 A, except the emission of the COMs that is more intense towards the near-IR nebula located to the south of IRS 3 A, and HC$_3$N whose emission peak is located $sim$0.5$$ NE from IRS 3 A. The kinematical study suggests that the molecular emission is mainly coming from a rotating ring and/or an unresolved disk. Additional components are traced by the ro-vibrational HCN $ u_2$=1 3$rightarrow$2 line which is probing the inner disk/jet region, and the weak lines of CH$_3$OCHO, more likely arising from the walls of the cavity excavated by the molecular outflow. Based on SO$_2$ we derive a gas kinetic temperature of T$_k$$sim$ 170 K towards the IRS 3 A. The most abundant S-bearing species is SO$_2$ with an abundance of $sim$ 1.3$times$10$^{-7}$, and $chi$(SO/SO$_2$) $sim$ 0.29. Assuming the solar abundance, SO$_2$ accounts for $sim$1 % of the sulphur budget.
We study the origin of large abundances of complex organic molecules in the Galactic center (GC). We carried out a systematic study of the complex organic molecules CH3OH, C2H5OH, (CH3)2O, HCOOCH3, HCOOH, CH3COOH, H2CO, and CS toward 40 GC molecular
clouds. Using the LTE approximation, we derived the physical properties of GC molecular clouds and the abundances of the complex molecules.The CH3OH abundance between clouds varies by nearly two orders of magnitude from 2.4x10^{-8} to 1.1x10^{-6}. The abundance of the other complex organic molecules relative to that of CH3OH is basically independent of the CH3OH abundance, with variations of only a factor 4-8. The abundances of complex organic molecules in the GC are compared with those measured in hot cores and hot corinos, in which these complex molecules are also abundant. We find that both the abundance and the abundance ratios of the complex molecules relative to CH3OH in hot cores are similar to those found in the GC clouds. However, hot corinos show different abundance ratios than observed in hot cores and in GC clouds. The rather constant abundance of all the complex molecules relative to CH3OH suggests that all complex molecules are ejected from grain mantles by shocks. Frequent (similar 10^{5}years) shocks with velocities >6km/s are required to explain the high abundances in gas phase of complex organic molecules in the GC molecular clouds. The rather uniform abundance ratios in the GC clouds and in Galactic hot cores indicate a similar average composition of grain mantles in both kinds of regions. The Sickle and the Thermal Radio Arches, affected by UV radiation, show different relative abundances in the complex organic molecules due to the differentially photodissociation of these molecules.
NGC 4194 is a post-merger starburst known as The Medusa for its striking tidal features. We present here a detailed study of the structure and kinematics of ionized gas in the central 0.65 kpc of the Medusa. The data include radio continuum maps with
resolution up to $0.18arcsec$ (35 pc) and a $12.8mu$m [NeII] data cube with spectral resolution $sim4$kms: the first {it high resolution, extinction-free} observations of this remarkable object. The ionized gas has the kinematic signature of a core in solid-body rotation. The starburst has formed a complex of bright compact HII~regions, probably excited by deeply embedded super star clusters, but none of these sources is a convincing candidate for a galactic nucleus. The nuclei of the merger partners that created the Medusa have not yet been identified.
