Simon Ellingsen (1) (1 University of Tasmania)
TL;DR
This paper investigates the relationship between masers and starburst activity in NGC253, highlighting recent detections of extragalactic methanol and HC3N masers and their spatial association with star-forming regions.
Contribution
It reports the first detections of extragalactic class I methanol and HC3N masers in NGC253 and analyzes their locations relative to starburst features.
Findings
Detection of first extragalactic methanol masers at 36 and 44 GHz
Detection of extragalactic HC3N masers in NGC253
Masers are spatially associated with starburst regions
Abstract
NGC253 is one of the closest starburst galaxies to the Milky Way and as such it has been studied in detail across the electromagnetic spectrum. Recent observations have detected the first extragalactic class I methanol masers at 36 and 44 GHz and the first extragalactic HCN (cyanoacetylene) masers in this source. Here we discuss the location of the masers with respect to key morphological features within NGC253 and the association between the masers and the ongoing starburst.
