SiO and CH3OH mega-masers in NGC 1068
Maser is an acronym for microwave amplification by stimulated emission of radiation; in astronomy mega-masers are masers in galaxies that are ≥ 10(6) times more luminous than typical galactic maser sources. Observational studies of mega-masers can help us to understand their origins and characteristics. More importantly, mega-masers can be used as diagnostic tracers to probe the physical proper...
متن کاملOrigin of non - keplerian motions of masers in NGC 1068
We demonstrate that the “sub-keplerian” rotation curve of maser spots in NGC 1068 can be explained by the gravitational attraction of the disc orbiting the central black hole. Possible parameters matching observations are: black hole mass ≃ (1.2± 0.1) × 10 M⊙, disc outer edge & 1.3 pc, aspect ratio 3× 10 −3 . H R . 0.3, surface density Σ ∝ R , and disc mass ≃ (9.4±1.6)×10 M⊙. The physical condi...
متن کاملWidespread SiO and CH3OH emission in filamentary infrared dark clouds
Infrared dark clouds (IRDCs) are cold, dense regions of high (optical and infrared) extinction, believed to be the birthplace of high-mass stars and stellar clusters. The physical mechanisms leading to the formation of these IRDCs are not completely understood and it is thus important to study their molecular gas kinematics and chemical content to search for any signature of the IRDCs formation...

متن کاملAccelerations of Water Masers in NGC 4258
The water masers in NGC4258 delineate the structure and dynamics of a sub-parsec-diameter accretion disk around a supermassive black hole. VLBA observations provide precise information about the positions in the plane of the sky and the three-dimensional velocity vectors for the maser emission, but the positions along the line of sight must be inferred from models. Previous measurements placed ...
