Abstract

AbstractWe present preliminary results of a MERLIN polarization study of 6.0-GHz OH masers in the W3(OH) region of massive star-formation. We have detected a small but significant amount of linear polarization in the 6031-MHz masers, as well as a much larger fraction of circular polarization. We have found many Zeeman pairs, the analysis of which (along with the results at 6035-MHz) will be presented elsewhere. MERLIN is well-suited to detecting all the single-dish maser flux in these regions, owing to its range of short baselines (tens of kilometers) and resulting sensitivity to extended emission. We have found core-halo structure in the 6031-MHz OH maser emission in the region of the highly extended 4.7-GHz OH and 6.7-GHz methanol maser filament found by Harvey-Smith & Cohen (2005, 2006).
