Orientation effect on the light-curve shape of periodic methanol maser sources.

Abstract (from CDS):

We report the results of our pilot millimeter observations of periodic maser sources. Using SMA, we carried out 1.3-mm observations of G22.357+0.066 and G25.411+0.105, while ALMA 1.3-mm archival data were used in the case of G9.62+0.19E. Two continuum cores (MM1 and MM2) were detected in G22.357+0.066, while three cores (MM1 - MM3) detected in G25.411 + 0.105. Assuming dust-to-gas ratio of 100, we derived the masses of the detected cores. Using the 12CO (2-1) and 13CO (2-1) line emission, we observed gas kinematics tracing the presence of bipolar outflows in all three star-forming regions. In the cases of G22.357+0.066 and G9.62+0.19E, both with similar periodic maser light-curve profiles, the outflowing gas is seen in the north-west south-east direction. This suggest edge-on view of the two sources. G25.411+0.105, with a contrasting light-curve profile, show a spatially collocated blue and red outflow lobes, suggesting a face-on view. Our results suggest that orientation effects may play a role in determining the characteristics of the light curves of periodic methanol masers.
