Class II methanol maser candidates

Abstract

Model spectra are presented for Class II methanol masers under a variety of conditions. The model is that of Sobolev & Deguchi, which includes pumping through levels of the second and first torsionally excited states. All the currently identified Class II methanol masers appear as strong masers in one or more of the model regimes, and a number of new maser candidates are identified. © 1997 RAS.
