Abstract:Abstract. In 2011 February, a burst of the 22 GHz H2 O maser in Orion KL was reported. In order to identify the bursting maser features, we have been carrying out observations of the 22 GHz H2 O maser in Orion KL with VERA, a Japanese VLBI network dedicated for astrometry. The bursting maser turns out to consist of two spatially different features at 7.58 and 6.95 km s −1 . We determine their absolute positions and find that they are coincident with the shocked molecular gas called the Orion Compact Ridge. We … Show more
