We report on the interferometric detection of 36.2 GHz Class I methanol emission with the new 27-40 GHz Ka band receivers available on the Expanded Very Large Array (EVLA). The brightness temperatures of the interferometric 36 GHz…

Methanol masers at 6.7 GHz are known to be tracers of high-mass star formation in our Galaxy. In this paper, we study the large scale physical conditions in the star forming clumps/cores associated with 6.7 GHz methanol masers using…

Astrophysical masers are one of the most readily detected signposts of high-mass star formation. Their presence indicates special conditions, probably indicative of a specific evolutionary phase. Masers also represent the ultimate…

Results of a survey of Galactic star-forming regions in the lines of methanol 8_{-1}-7_0E at 229.8 GHz, 3_{-2}-4_{-1}E at 230.0 GHz, 0_0-1_{-1}E at 108.9 GHz, and a series of methanol lines J_1-J_0E near 165 GHz are presented. Two masers,…
