The core region of the W3 molecular cloud has high molecular line luminosities (Dickel et al. 1980; Brackman and Scoville 1980). This region contains luminous infrared sources and ultra compact H II regions. A young star cluster may be forming in this region. Recent interferometric high angular-resolution observation revealed a bipolar outflow toward IRS 5 in the CO emission (Claussen et al. 1984) and a mass condensation in the HCN emission (Wright et al. 1984) in this region.
