For two of the sources, G339.88-1.26 and NGC 6334F (G351.42+0.64), we detect continuum emission closely associated with the methanol masers. A further three clusters of masers showed no radio continuum emission above our sensitivity limit of 1-5 mJy. We find the position of the 6.7-GHz methanol masers in G339.88-1.26 to be consistent with the hypothesis that the masers lie in the circumstellar disc surrounding a massive star. We also argue that one of the clusters of methanol masers in NGC 6334F provides indirect observational support for the circumstellar disc hypothesis.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1995-09-13T05:19:51.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "continuum emission", "ngc 6334f", "australia telescope compact array", "methanol maser sources" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1093/mnras/279.1.101" }, "note": { "typesetting": "LaTeX", "pages": 8, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 412876 } } }
