[4.13] Methanol Maser Emission in W75N and Orion Molecular Cloud 2 (OMC 2)

J. A. Goetz, D. W. Brubaker (College of Wooster), C. A. Clerc (University of Dallas)

We present data of Class I methanol maser emission at 44 GHz centered on two star forming regions, W75N and Orion Molecular Cloud 2 (OMC 2). The Northeast Radio Observatory Corporation (NEROC) Haystack 37-m radio telescope was used to search for emission in the 70 to 61 A+ transition of CH3OH as part of a larger project lead by Dr. Preethi Pratap (MIT Haystack Observatory). This project focuses on detecting maser activity in positions that are offset from known young stellar objects. In addition to detecting the known methanol maser source in each region, a previously undetected maser source was observed to the southwest of W75N IRAS 1.
