| Abstract: |
We observed a sample of stellar maser clusters associated with high-mass star forming regions at 1.2mm with SIMBA. The masers are radio- and IR-quiet and more than 1 pc away from the nearest IRAS point source. Our maps show strong mm emission from the maser positions with flux densities that often exceed those of the nearby IRAS sources and ultra-compact HII regions. In addition, there is a wealth of so far unknown fainter compact mm sources, sometimes associated with extended emission features. It is likely that we are witnessing the clustering of newly born high mass stars or pre-stellar clumps. |
