We present Very Large Array (VLA) observations of H2O and OH (1612 MHz) maser emission toward the protoplanetary nebula OH 231.8+4.2. The H2O observations show two features at VLSR of 23.1 and 44.5 km s−1, coinciding in position within error with the SiO (v=1; J=2−1) maser position from Sánchez Contreras et al. (2000). The H2O and SiO masers are most likely tracing the position of QX Pup, the Mira near the center of OH 231.8+4.2. This position is, however, clearly offset by ∼1 from the axis of the bipolar outflow traced by the OH maser emission. These results suggest the presence of a binary system: one invisible star powering the bipolar outflow and the other, the Mira star QX Pup, associated with the H2O and SiO masers. This scenario requires that the two stars have evolved at very similar rates.

AbstractUsing high angular resolution (~ 03) Very Large Array (VLA) observations made at 3.6 cm during the period 1990 to 2002, we report the detection of proper motions in the components of the binary source YLW 15. We find absolute proper motions of the order of 15 km s-1. In addition, the relative astrometry between the two components reveals orbital proper motions that suggest that the total mass of this binary system is ~ 1.7 M⊙, and that VLA 1 is more massive than VLA 2.

AbstractWe present Multi-Object Spectrograph (GMOS) Integral Field Unit (IFU), Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and Very Large Array (VLA) observations of the inner kpc of the OH Megamaser galaxy IRAS 11506-3851. In this work we discuss the kinematics and excitation of the gas as well as its radio emission. The HST images reveal an isolated spiral galaxy and the combination with the GMOS-IFU flux distributions allowed us to identify a partial ring of star-forming regions surrounding the nucleus with a radius of ≍500 pc. The emission-line ratios and excitation map reveal that the region inside the ring present mixed/transition excitation between those of Starbursts and Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN), while regions along the ring are excited by Starbursts. We suggest that we are probing a buried or fading AGN that could be both exciting the gas and originating an outflow.

AbstractA study of the distribution of OH gas in the central region of the nearby active starburst galaxy M82 has confirmed two previously known bright masers and revealed several new main line masers. Three of these are seen only at 1665 MHz, one is detected only at 1667 MHz, while the rest are detected in both lines. Observations covering both the 1665 and 1667 MHz lines, conducted with both the Very Large Array (VLA) and the Multi-Element Radio Linked Interferometer Network (MERLIN), have been used to accurately measure the positions and velocities of these features. This has allowed a comparison with catalogued continuum features in the starburst such as HII regions and supernova remnants, as well as known water and satellite line OH masers. Most of the main line masers appear to be associated with known HII regions although the two detected only at 1665 MHz are seen along the same line of sight as known supernova remnants.

Very large array, radio-continuum observations of the edge-on spiral galaxy NGC 3079 are presented. The observations reveal that the nucleus has windlike properties and that the central region of the galaxy exhibits an unusual figure-eight morphology that shows evidence of severe depolarization and a flattening spectral index away from the nucleus. A qualitative description of a model is presented to account for the observed radio properties. It is shown that a wind-driven shock propagating away from the nucleus and focused by the ambient disk gas can give rise to the observed morphology.
