Water Masers in Nearby Galaxies

Water masers in a galaxy provide proxies for identifying star forming regions and are therefore of particular interest. [Pg.178]

22 GHz water masers were found in four nearby galaxies. The locations of these water masers coincides with ultradense H-II regions. These regions correspond also to bright 24 pm emission areas (see Darling, Brogan and Johnson, 2009 [93] and 2008 [92]). [Pg.178]

Using the Expanded Very Large Array, Edmonds et al., 2008 [113] have conducted a search for 22.2 GHz H2O megamaser emission in the strongly lensed sub mm galaxy, SMM J16359 -I- 6612 at z = 2.517. They did not detect any water maser emission but were able to set an upper limit on the luminosity of any water maser present (LH20 5305 L ). [Pg.178]
