The Australia Telescope campaign to study southern class I methanol masers

Abstract

The Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) and the Mopra facility have been used to search for new southern class I methanol masers at 9.9, 25 (J=5) and 104 GHz, which are thought to trace more energetic conditions in the interface regions of molecular outflows, than the widespread class I masers at 44 and 95 GHz. One source shows a clear outflow association.Comment: 2 pages, 1 figure (composed from 3 files), to appear in proceedings of IAU Symposium 242 "Astrophysical masers and their environment" (eds. J.
