... We present centimeter and millimeter interferometric continuum and molecular line images of the massive star-forming region AFGL 5142. ... The emission peak coincides with a 1.5 mJy centimeter continuum source. ... CH3CN (14-13) and (12-11) spectra indicate a gas temperature ~65 K in the innermost core. While the millimeter continuum emission is probably mostly due to optically thin thermal emission from dust grains, the centimeter continuum source is consistent with an ionized wind. ...
