Discovery of recurrent flares of 6.7 GHz methanol maser emission in Cepheus A HW2

M. Durjasz, M. Szymczak, M. Olech +1

Context: Class II methanol masers at 6.7 GHz originate close to high-mass young stellar objects (HMYSOs). Their high sensitivity to local condition variations makes them a useful m…
