The detection of Class I methanol masers towards regions of low-mass star formation
Six young bipolar outflows in regions of low-to-intermediate-mass star
formation were observed in the 7_0-6_1A+, 8_0-7_1A+, and 5_{-1}-4_0E methanol
lines at 44, 95, and 84 GHz, respectively. Narrow features were detected
towards NGC 1333IRAS4A, HH 25MMS, and L1157 B1. Flux densities of the detected
lines are no higher than 11 Jy, which is much lower than the flux densities of
strong maser lines in regions of high-mass star formation. Analysis shows that
most likely the narrow features are masers.Comment: 12 pages, 6 figures, to be published in Astronomy Report
