Astrophysical Masers: Unlocking the Mysteries of the Universe
We initiated a long-term and highly frequent monitoring project toward 442 methanol masers at 6.7 GHz (Dec >-30 deg) using the Hitachi 32-m radio telescope in December 2012. The observations have been carried out daily, monitoring a spectrum of each source with intervals of 9-10 days. In September 2015, the number of the target sources and intervals were redesigned into 143 and 4-5 days, respectively. This monitoring provides us complete information on how many sources show periodic flux variations in high-mass star-forming regions, which have been detected in 20 sources with periods of 29.5-668 days so far (e.g., Goedhart et al. 2004). We have already obtained new detections of periodic flux variations in 31 methanol sources with periods of 22-409 days. These periodic flux variations must be a unique tool to investigate high-mass protostars themselves and their circumstellar structure on a very tiny spatial scale of 0.1-1 au....
