Abstract
We present new high resolution and high sensitivity multi-frequency VLA rad io continuum observations of the G9.62+0.19-F hot molecular core. We detect for the first time faint centimetric radio continuum emission at the posit ion of the core. The centimetric continuum spectrum of the source is consis tent with thermal emission from ionised gas. This is the first direct evide nce that a newly born massive star is powering the G9.62+0.19-F hot core.
