contents High-mass stars, with their powerful winds and intense radiation fields, are fundamental in regulating galactic dynamics and evolution; however, despite their great relevance, the mechanisms involved in their formation are still not fully understood. In this context, molecular outflows, which are essential for removing angular momentum and allowing accretion onto the central object, are a crucial phenomenon for characterizing their formation. Previous studies reveal a discrepancy in the masses of outflows associated with high-mass clumps between works conducted at the clump scale ($\sim$ pc) and those at the core scale ($\sim$ subpc). This suggests that the high-mass outflow activity observed at the clump scale might be the result of the contribution from several lower-mass outflows linked to individual molecular cores. This work presents a study of the molecular gas toward a high-mass clump associated with an Extended Green Object (EGO). EGOs are indicators of jets associated with high-mass protostars. Employing high angular resolution data from the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), the presence of several hot cores with outflow activity was observed in the source. A characterization of the outflows at the core scale is presented within the context of the physical parameters of the molecular clumps.
