Abstract: |
We intend to search for new methanol maser lines in the
200-300 GHz frequency range toward W3(OH), NGC 7538-IRS1, and Cepheus A
high mass Star Forming Regions (SFR) using the list of candidate lines
published by Cragg, Sobolev, & Godfrey (2005). Making use of the
observational properties of the new methanol maser lines, we intend to
place constraints on parameters of the model of Sobolev & Deguchi (1994). This will in turn give us a better understanding of the Class II
methanol maser pumping mechanism, physical characteristics of the
region, and geometry of the maser source. |
