Pumping of OH Main-Line Masers in Star-Forming Regions
Pumping routes of masers can in principle be recovered from a small matrix of master equations, at an advanced stage of elimination, by tracing back the coefficients to a set of unmodified all-process rate coefficients, drawn from those which appeared in the original set of master equations, prior to any elimination operations. The traceback is achieved by logging the operations carried out on ...
متن کاملCircumstellar masers
Circumstellar masers are unique tools for probing the envelopes around low mass dying stars using VLBI. In this contribution I briefly review the status of our knowledge on these emissions, especially focusing on the latest results obtained by means of VLBI observations. I also outline some of the new windows that will open for VLBI maser research thanks to the upcoming new instrumentation.
متن کاملAstrometry of Circumstellar Masers
The circumstellar masers around evolved stars offer an interesting possibility to measure stellar parameters through VLBI astrometry. In this paper the application of this technique is discussed, including the accuracy and the uncertainties of the method. The different maser species (OH, H2O, SiO) have slightly different characteristics and applications. This paper does not concern astrometry o...
متن کاملOh Satellite Line Masers in the Nucleus of Ngc 253
We report the detection of 1720 and 1612 MHz OH ground–state satellite line maser regions in the starburst galaxy NGC 253. We find ten compact maser features all of which are located along the narrow ridge of bright radio continuum emission within the central 10 square arcseconds of the nucleus. The compact OH features appear physically associated with regions of dense molecular gas, supernova ...
متن کاملGaussian Spectral Line Profiles of Astrophysical Masers
Calculations are performed to demonstrate the deviations from Gaussian that occur in the spectral line profiles of a linear maser as a result of the amplification process. Near-Gaussian profiles are presented for bright, interstellar 22 GHz water masers obtained from high resolution Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) observations of W3 IRS 5. For the profiles to be so close to Gaussian, the calcul...
