The 6-GHz Multibeam Maser Survey I. Techniques
J. A. Green, J. L. Caswell, G. A. Fuller +22
A new 7-beam 6-7 GHz receiver has been built to survey the Galaxy and the Magellanic Clouds for newly forming high-mass stars that are pinpointed by strong methanol maser emission…
The Carina Nebula: A Laboratory for Feedback and Triggered Star Formation
Nathan Smith, Kate J. Brooks
The Carina Nebula (NGC 3372) is our richest nearby laboratory in which to study feedback through UV radiation and stellar winds from very massive stars during the formation of an O…
A Pilot Survey for the HO Southern Galactic Plane Survey (HOPS)
Andrew J. Walsh, Nadia Lo, Michael G. Burton +5
We describe observations with the Mopra radiotelescope designed to assess the feasibility of the HO maser southern Galactic plane survey (HOPS). We mapped two one-square-degree…
The Collimated Jet Source in IRAS 16547-4247: Time Variation, Possible Precession, and Upper Limits to the Proper Motions Along the Jet Axis
Luis F. Rodriguez, James M. Moran, Ramiro Franco-Hernandez +3
The triple radio source detected in association with the luminous infrared source IRAS 16547-4247 has previously been studied with high angular resolution and high sensitivity with…
Multibeam Maser Survey of methanol and excited OH in the Magellanic Clouds: new detections and maser abundance estimates
J. A. Green, J. L. Caswell, G. A. Fuller +21
We present the results of the first complete survey of the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds for 6668-MHz methanol and 6035-MHz excited-state hydroxyl masers. In addition to the su…
Massive Clumps in the NGC 6334 Star Forming Region
Diego J. Munoz, Diego Mardones, Guido Garay +3
We report observations of dust continuum emission at 1.2 mm toward the star forming region NGC 6334 made with the SEST SIMBA bolometer array. The observations cover an area of $\si…
A Census of the Carina Nebula -- II. Energy Budget and Global Properties of the Nebulosity
Nathan Smith, Kate J. Brooks
The first paper in this series took a direct census of energy input from the known OB stars in the Carina Nebula, and in this paper we study the global properties of the surroundin…
The Australia Telescope campaign to study southern class I methanol masers
M. A. Voronkov, K. J. Brooks, A. M. Sobolev +3
The Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) and the Mopra facility have been used to search for new southern class I methanol masers at 9.9, 25 (J=5) and 104 GHz, which are though…
Class I methanol masers in the outflow of IRAS 16547-4247
M. A. Voronkov, K. J. Brooks, A. M. Sobolev +3
The Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) has been used to image class I methanol masers at 9.9, 25 (a series from J=2 to J=9), 84, 95 and 104 GHz located in the vicinity of IRA…
Cleaning up Eta Carinae: Detection of Ammonia in the Homunculus
Nathan Smith, Kate J. Brooks, Baerbel S. Koribalski +1
We report the first detection of ammonia in the Homunculus nebula around eta Carinae, which is also the first detection of emission from a polyatomic molecule in this or any other…
High Angular Resolution Observations of the Collimated Jet Source Associated with a Massive Protostar in IRAS 16547-4247
L. F. Rodriguez, G. Garay, K. J. Brooks +1
A triple radio source recently detected in association with the luminous infrared source IRAS 16547-4247 has been studied with high angular resolution and high sensitivity with the…
The Giant Pillars of the Carina Nebula
J. M. Rathborne, K. J. Brooks, M. G. Burton +2
Results are presented from a multi-wavelength study of the giant pillars within the Carina Nebula. Using near-IR data from 2MASS, mid-IR data from MSX, 843MHz radio continuum maps…
Detection of a Collimated Jet towards a High-mass Protostar
K. J. Brooks, G. Garay, D. Mardones +1
Here we present the discovery of a triple radio continuum source associated with IRAS 16547-4247. The spectral indices of the three components are consistent with a jet powered by…
Two massive star-forming regions at early evolutionary stages
Guido Garay, Kate Brooks, Diego Mardones +2
We report sensitive ATCA radio-continuum observations toward IRAS 15596-5301 and 16272-4837, two luminous objects (> 2x10^4 Lsun) thought to represent massive star-forming regions…
A massive star-forming region in a very early stage of evolution
K. J. Brooks, G. Garay, D. Mardones +2
We present results from a study of two luminous IRAS sources thought to be young massive star-forming regions and which have no previously detected radio continuum emission: IRAS 1…
