VLBA polarization observations of the J=7/2, 13.44 GHz OH maser in W3(OH)
We have obtained the first polarization images of the J = 7/2, F = 4−4 OHmaser emission fromW3(OH) at 13.44 GHz with high dynamic range and resolution. The emission has been imaged with a spectral resolution of 0.087 km s−1 and with a spatial resolution of 670μarcsec, the highest ever achieved in any image of the OH radical. The 13.44 GHz OH maser emission lies within an extremely compact area ...
متن کاملFull-Polarization Observations of OH Masers in Massive Star-Forming Regions: II. Maser Properties and the Interpretation of Polarization
We analyze full-polarization VLBA data of ground-state, main-line OH masers in 18 massive star-forming regions previously presented in a companion paper. From the aggregate properties of our sources, we confirm results previously seen in the few individual sources studied at milliarcsecond angular resolution. The OH masers often arise in the shocked neutral gas surrounding ultracompact H II reg...
متن کاملSpace - VLBI observations of OH maser OH 34 . 26 + 0 . 15 : low interstellar scattering
We report on the first space-VLBI observations of the OH34.26+0.15 maser in two main line OH transitions at 1665 and 1667 MHz. The observations involved the space radiotelescope on board the Japanese satellite HALCA and an array of ground radio telescopes. The map of the maser region and images of individual maser spots were produced with an angular resolution of 1 milliarcsec which is several ...
متن کاملInfrared OH absorption lines in 1612MHz OH maser sources
ISO mid-infrared absorption data helps to distinguish between radiative and collisional pumping mechanisms in 1612MHz OH masers in various environments. Archive data of OH absorption at 34.6 and 53.3 μm shows different behavior and different pumping rates for different types of maser sources. 1. Mid-Infrared absorption in 1612MHz OH masers Mid-infrared spectroscopy by the Infrared Space Observa...
متن کاملMethanol Maser Polarization in W3(OH)
We present the first 6.7 GHz methanol maser linear polarization map of the extended filamentary maser structure around the compact H region W3(OH). The methanol masers show linear polarization up to ∼ 8 per cent and the polarization angles indicate a magnetic field direction along the North-South maser structure. The polarization angles are consistent with those measured for the OH masers, ta...
