We have detected periodic flares of the 6.7 GHz methanol maser from an intermediate-mass star-forming region IRAS22198+6336. The maser was monitored daily in 2011, 2012, and 2013. Six flares were observed with a period of 34.6 days. The…
Periodic flares of maser emission are thought to be induced either by variations of the seed photon flux in young binary systems or the pump rate regulated by stellar and accretion luminosities. We seek to study the variability of four…
We analyze a decade of 6.7 GHz methanol monitoring data in G9.62+0.20E, confirming the known periodicities of p1 = 241.3 +/- 2.3 d and p2 = 52.5 +/- 0.3 d, and identifying three new cycles at p3 = 127.0 +/- 1.6 d, p4 = 163.9 +/- 2.9 d, and…
Context: Periodicity in 6.7 GHz methanol maser sources is a rare phenomenon that was discovered during long-term monitoring programmes. Understanding the underlying processes that lead to periodic variability might provide insights into the…
A number of mechanisms to understand the periodic class II methanol masers associated with some high-mass star forming regions have been proposed in the past. Two recent proposals, ie. by Parfenov &Sobolev (2014) and Sanna et al. (2015)…
Methanol and water vapour masers are signposts of early stages of high-mass star formation but it is generally thought that due to different excitation processes they probe distinct parts of stellar environments. Here we present…
