Discovery of pulsed OH maser emission stimulated by a pulsar.
Stimulated emission of radiation has not been directly observed in astrophysical situations up to this time. Here we demonstrate that photons from pulsar B1641-45 stimulate pulses of excess 1720-megahertz line emission in an interstellar hydroxyl (OH) cloud. As this stimulated emission is driven by the pulsar, it varies on a few-millisecond time scale, which is orders of magnitude shorter than ...
متن کاملMERLIN 6 - GHz maser emission from W 3 ( OH )
We present the preliminary results of the first alignment to milliarsecond accuracy of the 6-GHz maser emission in OH and methanol maser lines toward W3(OH). The identifications of Zeeman pairs allowed us to infer the actual velocity of the OH material and the magnetic field strength at the location where 6.7-GHz methanol maser emission arises.
متن کاملExtended OH(1720 MHz) Maser Emission from Supernova Remnants
Compact OH(1720 MHz) masers have proven to be excellent signposts for the interaction of supernova remnants with adjacent molecular clouds. Less appreciated has been the weak, extended OH(1720 MHz) emission which accompanies strong compact maser sources. Recent single-dish and interferometric observations reveal the majority of maser-emitting supernova remnants(SNRs) have accompanying regions o...
متن کاملPulsar shade – discovery of inward emission in pulsar magnetosphere
We present the theory of eclipsing a rotating, spatially extended source of directional emission by a central absorber, and apply it to the pulsar magnetosphere. The theory assumes the radially extended inward radio emission along the local direction of magnetic field, and the pulsar as the absorber. Geometry of magnetic field lines of the rotating dipole is favourable for the double eclipse ev...
متن کاملDiscovery of molecular hydrogen line emission associatedwith methanol maser
We report the discovery of H 2 line emission associated with 6.67 GHz methanol maser emission in massive star forming regions. In our UNSWIRF/AAT observations , H 2 1{0 S(1) line emission was found associated with an ultracompact HII region IRAS 14567{5846 and isolated methanol maser sites in G318.95{0.20, IRAS 15278{ 5620 and IRAS16076{5134. Due to the lack of radio continuum in each source, e...
