Observations of Cosmic Masers (review)
Abstract
A review is presented of recent results from interferometric observations of cosmic masers. Several topics are discussed, including MERLIN/VLA/VLBI observations of megamasers; recent results on masers in star forming regions and around late-type stars and some new results on the effects of interstellar scattering on maser spot sizes.
