An updated model for the Perseus Spiral Arm from Trigonometric Parallax and 3-dimensional kinematic distances of distant massive stars

Lucas J. Hyland, Mark J. Reid, Simon P. Ellingsen +3

We report trigonometric parallaxes and proper motions for three water masers and one methanol maser obtained with the VLBA as part of the BeSSeL Survey. Incorporating these paralla…

First detections of methanol maser lines from a rare transition family

Bradley R. Johnson, Simon P. Ellingsen, Shari L. Breen +3

We report the first observations in a rare family of class II methanol maser transitions in both CHOH and CHOH toward three southern high-mass star formation regions…

Compact vs. Scattered: Suitability of Southern 6.7GHz Methanol Masers for VLBI astrometry

Lucas J. Hyland, Simon P. Ellingsen, Mark J. Reid

The 6.7~GHz methanol maser transition is exclusively associated with young, high-mass stars and represents a potential target for astrometric studies, including accurate determinat…

The Expanding 3 kpc Arms Are Neither Expanding nor Spiral Arms but X1 Orbits Driven by the Galactic Bar

Jayender Kumar, Mark J. Reid, T. M. Dame +6

Near the center of our Milky Way is a bar-like structure and the so-called Expanding 3-kpc arms. We currently have limited knowledge of this important region, since we are about 8.…

The Extraordinary Maser Flaring Event in the Massive Protostellar System NGC6334I: Multi-Epoch Milliarcsecond Resolution Investigation of the 6.7-GHz Methanol Masers

Jayender Kumar, Simon P. Ellingsen, Gabor Orosz +4

We report the first multi-epoch milliarcsecond resolution imaging of the 6.7-GHz class II methanol maser emission associated with the high-mass protocluster system NGC6334I. The ob…

A Keplerian disk with a four-arm spiral birthing an episodically accreting high-mass protostar

R. A. Burns, Y. Uno, N. Sakai +34

High-mass protostars (M 8 M) are thought to gain the majority of their mass via short, intense bursts of growth. This episodic accretion is thought to be faci…

A heat-wave of accretion energy traced by masers in the G358-MM1 high-mass protostar

R. A. Burns, K. Sugiyama, T. Hirota +20

High-mass stars are thought to accumulate much of their mass via short, infrequent bursts of disk-aided accretion. Such accretion events are rare and difficult to observe directly…

Inverse MultiView II: Microarcsecond Trigonometric Parallaxes for Southern Hemisphere 6.7~GHz Methanol Masers G232.62+00.99 and G323.7400.26

Lucas J. Hyland, Mark J. Reid, Gabor Orosz +11

We present the first results from the Southern Hemisphere Parallax Interferometric Radio Astrometry Legacy Survey (\spirals): as-accurate parallaxes and proper motions for two…

Molecular line search toward the flaring 6.7-GHz methanol masers of G24.33+0.13 and G359.6-0.243: rare maser transitions detected

Tiege McCarthy, Gabor Orosz, Simon Ellingsen +8

We have performed a molecular line search toward the flaring 6.7-GHz masers G24.33+0.13 and G359.62-0.24 using the Australia Telescope Compact Array. We present spectra of the 6.7-…

MALT-45: A 7mm survey of the southern Galaxy - II. ATCA follow-up observations of 44GHz class I methanol masers

Christopher H. Jordan, Andrew J. Walsh, Shari L. Breen +3

We detail interferometric observations of 44GHz class I methanol masers detected by MALT-45 (a 7mm unbiased auto-correlated spectral-line Galactic-plane survey) using the Australia…
