Physical and chemical conditions in methanol maser selected hot-cores and UCHII regions
C. R. Purcell, S. N. Longmore, M. G. Burton +4
We present the results of a targeted 3-mm spectral line survey towards the eighty-three 6.67 GHz methanol maser selected star forming clumps observed by Purcell et al. 2006. In add…
The RMS Survey: CO observations of candidate massive YSOs in the northern Galactic plane
J. S. Urquhart, A. L. Busfield, M. G. Hoare +9
Context: The Red MSX Source (RMS) survey is an ongoing multi-wavelength observational programme designed to return a large, high-resolution mid-infrared colour-selected sample of m…
A survey for redshifted molecular and atomic absorption lines - II. Associated HI, OH and millimetre lines in the z >~ 3 Parkes quarter-Jansky flat-spectrum sample
S. J. Curran, M. T. Whiting, T. Wiklind +3
We present the results of a z>2.9 survey for HI 21-cm and molecular absorption in the hosts of radio quasars using the GMRT and the Tidbinbilla 70-m telescope. Previously published…
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…
New ammonia masers towards NGC6334I
A. J. Walsh, S. N. Longmore, S. Thorwirth +2
We report the detection of new ammonia masers in the non-metastable (8,6) and (11,9) transitions towards the massive star forming region NGC6334I. Observations were made with the A…
Multi-wavelength observations of Southern Hot Molecular Cores traced by methanol masers - I. Ammonia and 24 GHz Continuum Data
S. N. Longmore, M. G. Burton, P. J. Barnes +3
We present observations of the (1,1), (2,2), (4,4) and (5,5) inversion transitions of para-ammonia (NH3) and 24 GHz continuum, taken with the Australia Telescope Compact Array towa…
The molecular environment of massive star forming cores associated with Class II methanol maser emission
S. N. Longmore, M. G. Burton, P. J. Barnes +3
Methanol maser emission has proven to be an excellent signpost of regions undergoing massive star formation (MSF). To investigate their role as an evolutionary tracer, we have rece…
An Atomic and Molecular Study of the Interstellar Medium Around the SNR RCW 103
S. A. Paron, E. Reynoso, C. Purcell +2
We report on the detection of HCO+ and 12CO emission in the rotational transition J=1-0 in the vicinity of the shock front at the southern border of the supernova remnant RCW 103,…
Resolving the Kinematic Distance Ambiguity of Southern Massive Young Stellar Object Candidates
A. L. Busfield, C. R. Purcell, M. G. Hoare +3
We investigate the use of HI data to resolve the near/far ambiguity in kinematic distances of massive young stellar object (MYSO) candidates. Kinematic distances were obtained from…
High-mass star formation in the Southern Hemisphere sky
V. Minier, M. G. Burton, T. Hill +4
We report on a multi-wavelength (IR to cm) and multi-resolution (1 mas to 20 arcsec) exploration of high-mass star formation regions in the Galactic plane, at longitudes observable…
Spin temperatures and covering factors for HI 21-cm absorption in damped Lyman-alpha systems
S. J. Curran, M. T. Murphy, Y. M. Pihlstroem +2
We investigate the practice of assigning high spin temperatures to damped Lyman-alpha absorption systems (DLAs) not detected in HI 21-cm absorption. In particular, Kanekar & Chenga…
