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…
The Extraordinary Outburst in the Massive Protostellar System NGC6334I-MM1: Spatio-kinematics of Water Masers during a Contemporaneous Flare Event
James O. Chibueze, Gordon C. Macleod, Jakobus M. Vorster +4
Following an eruptive accretion event in NGC6334I-MM1, flares in the various maser species, including water masers, were triggered. We report the observed relative proper motion of…
Infrared observations of the flaring maser source G358.93-0.03 -- SOFIA confirms an accretion burst from a massive young stellar object
B. Stecklum, V. Wolf, H. Linz +24
Class II methanol masers are signs of massive young stellar objects (MYSOs). Recent findings show that MYSO accretion bursts cause flares of these masers. Thus, maser monitoring ca…
The family of amide molecules toward NGC 6334I
Niels F. W. Ligterink, Samer J. El-Abd, Crystal L. Brogan +4
Amide molecules produced in space could play a key role in the formation of biomolecules on a young planetary object. However, the formation and chemical network of amide molecules…
VLBI observations of the G25.65+1.05 water maser superburst
R. A. Burns, G. Orosz, O. Bayandina +23
This paper reports observations of a 22 GHz water maser `superburst' in the G25.65+1.05 massive star forming region, conducted in response to an alert from the Maser Monitoring Org…
