A new warm molecular clump toward the star forming region G34.26+0.15

In this work we reanalyze VLA ammonia (2,2) and (3,3) observations toward t he massive star forming region G34.26+0.15. We find one new ammonia clump w ith (2,2) and (3,3) emission toward the northwest in addition to the main m olecular structure previously reported. The new clump is associated with wa ter maser spots and we estimate for it a rotational temperature of similar to 54 +/- 12 K, a diameter of 0.15 pc (assuming a distance of 3.8 kpc) and a molecular mass of similar to 10 M. (assuming an [H-2/NH3] ratio of 10(7)) . These results suggest that the clump could have an embedded star and that in addition to the massive stars that excite the H II regions previously r eported, there may be other young stars of lower mass in the region.
