Masers and star formation
arXiv:0704.0242 · doi:10.1017/S1743921307012604
Abstract
Recent observational and theoretical advances concerning astronomical masers in star forming regions are reviewed. Major masing species are considered individually and in combination. Key results are summarized with emphasis on present science and future prospects.
