22GHz water maser survey of Xinjiang Astronomical Observatory

Abstract

Water masers are good tracers of high-mass star-forming regions. Water maser VLBI observations provide a good probe to study high-mass star formation and the galactic structure. We plan to make a blind survey toward the northern Galactic plane in future years using 25m radio telescope of Xinjiang Astronomical Observatory. We will select some water maser sources discovered in the survey and make high resolution observations and study the gas kinematics close to the high-mass protostar.
