Radio continuum observations of the core region of the compact H II region W3 at 6.5 and 4 mm wavelengths were made using the Nobeyama 45-m telescope. The 6.5-mm map agrees with lower-frequency maps, showing a major contribution of free-free H II emission. At 4 mm an excess over the H II emission is found, which indicates a contribution from dust grains. Comparing with sub-mm and FIR data, we suggest the existence of two dust components: normal dust at 50 K, and low-temperature (7 K), large-size grains (or interstellar “stones”) in the region west of the W3 core.
