Summary

The three UCHII regions associated with the G34.26+0.15 high-mass star formation complex in Aquila are described, giving evidence for envelope infall, protostellar outflows, expanding ionized gas, and associated molecular hot core chemistry. The prototypical ‘cometary’ UCHII region ‘C’ in G34.26 is one focus, where the interface between ionized hydrogen (HII) and hot molecular core (HMC) gas is well observed and a rich hot core chemistry both detected and modelled in detail. Uncertainties in CH3CN formation, and the displacement of its peak emission from dust and NH3 peaks, are raised in relation to possible photodissociation in the hot core close to the UCHII-C feature.
