+ | Gabriele Surcis, Huib Jan van Langevelde, and Ciriaco Goddi together with colleagues from Sweden, Spain, Mexico, | ||
+ | and South Korea observed the polarized emission of 22 GHz water masers around the massive young stellar objects (YSOs) | ||
+ | W75N-VLA2 and W75N-VLA1. The two massive YSOs are separated by just 1300 astronomical units and are at two | ||
+ | different evolutionary stages, i.e., VLA1 is the most evolved and VLA2 the least evolved. The interferometric | ||
+ | observations showed at 1~au scale that while the water masers distribution and the magnetic field around VLA1 have | ||
+ | not changed since 2005, the shell structure of the masers around VLA2 is still expanding and increasing its | ||
+ | ellipticity. Furthermore, | ||
+ | direction of the major-axis of the shell-like structure and it is now aligned with the magnetic field in VLA1. | ||
+ | This confirm that the water masers around VLA2 are tracing the evolution from a non-collimated to a collimated | ||
+ | outflow. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Gabriele Surcis and Huib Jan van Langevelde together with Wouter Vlemmings (Chalmers University of Technology), | ||
+ | Busaba Hutawarakorn Kramer (MPIfR), and Anna Bartkiewicz (Nicolaus Copernicus University) | ||
+ | continued their work on measuring magnetic fields morphology close to massive YSOs (au scale) by using 6.7 GHz | ||
+ | methanol masers. The group measured the magnetic field morphology towards eight new massive YSOs. These sources | ||
+ | are part of a large sample of massive YSOs, the so-called flux-limited sample, that is composed of 31 sources. | ||
+ | A preliminary statistical analysis of the results obtained from the first 19 sources reveals evidences that the | ||
+ | magnetic fields around massive YSOs are preferentially oriented along the molecular outflow. | ||
+ | Furthermore, | ||
+ | morphology of the magnetic field at au scale around the massive YSO IRAS20126+4104 by observing the polarized | ||
+ | emission of the 22 GHz water masers and the 6.7 GHz methanol masers. The orientation of the magnetic field | ||
+ | derived from the masers agrees with the S-shaped morphology on larger scale by using the dust-polarized emission | ||
+ | at 350~\mu~m. | ||

+ | and VLA2 (right panel). The reference position is $\alpha_{2000}=20^{\rm{h}}38^{\rm{m}}36^{\rm{s}}\!.435$ and | ||
+ | $\delta_{2000}=42^{\circ}37' | ||
+ | according to their peak flux density. The linear polarization vectors, scaled logarithmically according to | ||
+ | polarization fraction, are overplotted. In the bottom-right corner of both panels the error-weighted orientation | ||
+ | of the magnetic field ($\Phi_{\rm{B}}$) is also reported; the two dashed segments indicate the uncertainties. The | ||
+ | ellipse drawn in the right panel is the result of the best fit of the water masers. The estimated values of the | ||
+ | magnetic field strength are also shown in both panels next to the corresponding water maser. | ||
+ | |||

+ | the polarized dust emission at 350~$\mu$m, whose continuum emission is in the background. The white box indicates | ||
+ | the position of the right panel. | ||
+ | Right panel: methanol (triangles), | ||
+ | | ||
+ | $\delta_{2000}=41^{\circ}13' | ||
+ | $\sim$1000~au ($\rm{PA_{disk}}=53^{\circ}\pm7$\d. The red and blue lines indicate the red- and blue-shifted lobes | ||
+ | of the jet, respectively. The thick green segments represent the magnetic field direction determined from the | ||
+ | polarized methanol and water maser emissions. The green dashed segments represent the magnetic field direction | ||
+ | determined from the linearly polarized emission of OH masers (Edris et al. 2005, A&A, 434, 213). | ||
