Pumping the interstellar methanol masers [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 1992
The pumping of interstellar methanol masers is studied, covering a range of excitation conditions. The Class I (Class A) masers result from collisional excitation followed by spontaneous radiative decay. Masers appear in low-frequency transitions where the upper state is strongly favoured by large Einstein A coefficients, associated with high-frequency

VLBI observations of interstellar ammonia masers

open access: yesAstrophysical Journal, 1991
The first VLBI measurement of interstellar ammonia masers is reported. The positions, as well as size and brightness temperature limits, for the masers in the NH 3 (9, 6) inversion transition that are associated with the ultracompact H II regions W51 e1 and e2 are obtained. The masers arise from two positions, each of which is located close to but not

Broadband VLA Spectral-line Survey of a Sample of Ionized Jet Candidates

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023
The study of the interaction between ionized jets, molecular outflows, and their environments is critical to understanding high-mass star formation, especially because jets and outflows are thought to be key in the transfer of angular momentum outward ...

Proper Motions of Water Masers in W49 N Measured by KaVA

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We report the proper motions of 22 GHz water masers toward W49 N that were observed by the KVN and VERA Array (KaVA) during 2017 February–May. We found 263, 268, and 310 features in three successive epochs; they were distributed in a region of size 4 × 4

Autonomous orbit determination and timekeeping in lunar distant retrograde orbits by observing X‐ray pulsars

open access: yesNAVIGATION, Volume 68, Issue 4, Page 687-708, Winter 2021., 2021
Abstract A server satellite that is parked in a stable distant retrograde orbit (DRO) in the vicinity of the Moon can provide navigation service for satellites in the Earth–Moon system. In this study, X‐ray pulsar navigation (XPNAV) is investigated to determine the server's orbital position and velocity, and maintain its onboard timing autonomously to ...

Simultaneous Time-monitoring Observations of H2O and SiO Masers toward the Supergiant VX Sagittarii

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023
We performed simultaneous monitoring observations of the 22.2 GHz H _2 O and 43.1/42.8/86.2/129.3 GHz SiO masers toward the red supergiant VX Sagittarii using the Korean VLBI Network single-dish telescopes.

Luminosity Outburst of a High-mass Young Stellar Object Triggered by the Surrounding Radiation Field

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
We present observations of the 6.7 GHz methanol and 4.8 GHz formaldehyde masers toward the high-mass young stellar object G24.33+0.14 (hereafter G24). Our observations were conducted from 2019 to 2021 using the Shanghai Tianma 65 m Radio Telescope and ...

Luminosity Outburst Energized by the Collision between the Infalling Streamer and Disk in W51 North

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
We report the detection of the disk/torus, outflow, and inflow structures traced by H _2 O masers toward a high-mass young stellar object W51 North during its H _2 O maser outburst stage using the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA).

The Parallax and 3D Kinematics of Water Masers in the Massive Star-forming Region G034.43+0.24

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We report a measurement of the trigonometric parallax of 22 GHz water masers in the massive star-forming region G034.43+0.24 as part of the Bar and Spiral Structure Legacy Survey using the Very Long Baseline Array.
