Toruń Maser Group Highlights
Abstract
Maser action, i.e., microwave amplification by stimulated emission radiation occurs naturally in the interstellar medium and traces regions under non-LTE conditions with sufficient velocity coherence in the line of sight. Methanol, water and hydroxyl are well known masing molecules which occur in vicinity of high-mass young stellar objects (HMYSOs) and evolved stars. Observations using the Torun 32-m radio telescope together with the European Very Long Baseline Interferometer Network (EVN) are important inputs for the models of maser radiation and theory of high-mass star formation. Recent highlights of the work of our Maser Group are presented.
