The authors have mapped the NH3(1,1) and (2,2) transitions in the molecular cloud L 1204 associated with the H II region S 140, the number density is close to 5×105cm-3. The derived column density, and the rotational temperature T12 peak at the position of the embedded infrared sources S 140-IRS. The kinetic temperature Tkin(NH3) is in close agreement with earlier measurements of Tkin(CO) and the dust color temperature and decreases smoothly from a value of 40K at S 140-IRS to 20K within the neighbourhood (r < 1.4×1018cm) of the infrared source.
