Monitoring and search for periodic methanol masers

Abstract

We summarize a long-term monitoring of 11 periodic 6.7 GHz methanol masers and a search for new periodic sources. Observations were carried out with the Torun 32 m telescope. Periods of observed sources range from 29 to 658 days and the data consist of more than 10 observed cycles for most of the masers. Inspection of archival data resulted in identification of 3 new periodic sources while 2 new periodic objects were found in observations started in 2014.
