Abstract

Context. G24.78+0.08 is a well known high-mass star-forming region, where several molecular cores harboring OB young stellar objects are found inside a clump of size approximate to 1 pc. This article focuses on the most prominent of these cores, A1, where an intense hypercompact (HC) H-II region has been discovered by previous observations. Aims. Our aim is to determine the physical conditions and the kinematics of core A1, and study the interaction of the HII region with the parental molecular core. Methods. We combine ALMA 1.4 mm high-angular resolution (approximate to 0 ''.2) observations of continuum and line emission with multi-epoch Very Long Baseline Interferometry data of water 22 GHz and methanol 6.7 GHz masers. These observations allow us to study the gas kinematics on linear scales from 10 to 10(4) au, and to accurately map the physical conditions of the gas over core A1. Results. The 1.4 mm continuum is dominated by free-free emission from the intense HC HII region (size approximate to 1000 au) observed to the North of core A1 (region A1N). Analyzing the H30 alpha line, we reveal a fast bipolar flow in the ionized gas, covering a range of LSR velocities (V-LSR) of approximate to 60 km s(-1). The amplitude of the V-LSR gradient, 22 km s(-1) mpc(-1), is one of the highest so far observed towards HC HII regions. Water and methanol masers are distributed around the HC H-II region in A1N, and the maser three-dimensional (3D) velocities clearly indicate that the ionized gas is expanding at high speed (>= 200 km s(-1)) into the surrounding molecular gas. The temperature distribution (in the range 100-400 K) over core A1, traced with molecular (CH3OCHO, (CH3CN)-C-13, (CH3OH)-C-13, and CH3CH2CN) transitions with level energy in the range 30 K <= E-u/k <= 300 K, reflects the distribution of shocks produced by the fast-expansion of the ionized gas of the HII region. The high-energy (550 K <= E-u/k <= 800 K) transitions of vibrationally excited CH3CN are likely radiatively pumped, and their rotational temperature can significantly differ from the kinetic temperature of the gas. Over core A1, the V-LSR maps from both the 1.4 mm molecular lines and the 6.7 GHz methanol masers consistently show a V-LSR gradient (amplitude approximate to 0.3 km s(-1) mpc(-1)) directed approximately S-N. Rather than gravitationally supported rotation of a massive toroid, we interpret this velocity gradient as a relatively slow expansion of core A1.
