M2O-VLBI: The VLBI branch of the Maser Monitoring Organisation
Abstract
During the 2017 IAU maser symposium in Cagliari two well known maser sources went 'super burst'. The single-dish Maser Monitoring Organisation (M2O) reported sudden enhancements in the emission of two well known maser sources, both reaching fluxes above 15,000 Jy within a few hours. In response, a team was assembled for the purpose of following up maser super burst events using quick-response VLBI imaging to disseminate the origin of such behavior. This poster describes the first activities of the M2O-VLBI, its members and the future plan for investigating the maser super burst phenomenon.
