The polarization of mm methanol masers
We present a survey of the polarization properties of mm-wavelength methanol masers, comprising both classes, and transitions from 84.5 to 157.0 GHz. Linear polarization is found in more than half of the observed objects, and circular polarization is tentatively detected in two sources. Class I and Class II CH3OH masers show similar polarization properties. The largest linear polarization is fo...
متن کاملun 2 00 3 Linear Polarization Observations of Water Masers in W 3 IRS 5
We present a magnetic field mapping of water maser clouds in the star-forming region W3 IRS 5, which has been made on the basis of the linear polarization VLBI observation. Using the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) at 22.2 GHz, 16 of 61 detected water masers were found to be linearly polarized with polarization degrees up to 13 %. Although 10 polarized features were widely distributed in the wh...
متن کاملA VLBI polarization study of SiO masers towards VY CMa
Maser emission from the SiO molecule has been widely observed in the nearcircumstellar envelopes of late-type, evolved stars. VLBI images can resolve individual SiO maser spots, providing information about the kinematics and magnetic field in the extended atmospheres of these stars. This poster presents full polarization images of several SiO maser lines towards the supergiant star VY CMa. VY C...
متن کاملFull polarization study of SiO masers at 86 GHz
We study the polarization of the SiO maser emission in a representative sample of evolved stars in order to derive an estimate of the strength of the magnetic field, and thus determine the influence of this magnetic field on evolved stars. We made simultaneous spectroscopic measurements of the 4 Stokes parameters, from which we derived the circular and linear polarization levels. The observatio...
متن کاملPolarization properties of 6.7 GHz methanol masers in NGC6334F
The Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) has been used to make the first full polarization observations of 6.7 GHz methanol masers. Linear polarization was detected towards all four sources observed, at levels between a few and 10%, while none of the sources show circular polarization stronger than approximately 1.5%. Linear polarization appears to be more common in the 6.7 GHz methanol mas...
