  The young massive star-forming region IRAS05358+3543 was observed at
high-spatial resolution in the continuum emission at 3.1 and 1.2mm with the
Plateau de Bure Interferometer, and at 875 and 438mum with the Submillimeter
Array. We resolve at least four continuum sub-sources that are likely of
protostellar nature. Two of them are potentially part of a proto-binary system
with a projected separation of 1700AU. Additional (sub)mm continuum peaks are
not necessarily harboring protostars but maybe caused by the multiple molecular
outflows. The spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of the sub-sources show
several features. The main power house mm1, which is associated with CH3OH
maser emission, a hypercompact HII region and a mid-infrared source, exhibits a
typical SED with a free-free emission component at cm and long mm wavelengths
and a cold dust component in the (sub)mm part of the spectrum (spectral index
between 1.2mm and 438mum alpha~3.6). The free-free emission corresponds to a
Lyman continuum flux of an embedded 13Msun B1 star. The coldest source of the
region, mm3, has alpha~3.7 between 1.2mm and 875mum, but has lower than
expected fluxes in the shorter wavelength 438mum band. This turnover of the
Planck-function sets an upper limit on the dust temperature of mm3 of
approximately 20K. The uv-data analysis of the density structure of individual
sub-cores reveals distributions with power-law indices between 1.5 and 2. This
resembles the density distributions of the larger-scale cluster-forming clump
as well as those from typical low-mass cores.
