We report the results of the first complete survey of an area of the Galactic Plane for maser emission from the 6.7-GHz transition of methanol. The survey covers a 10.6-square-degree region of the Galactic Plane in the longitude range…

We present the third instalment of a series of catalogues presenting 12.2-GHz methanol maser observations made towards each of the 6.7-GHz methanol masers detected in the Methanol Multibeam (MMB) Survey. The current portion of the catalogue…

Methanol masers are often detected in regions of intense star formation. Several studies in the last decade indicate that they may even be the earliest signpost of a high-mass star-forming region. Their powerful emission make them very good…
