GIANT METHANOL MASER FLARES IN G358.931-0.030 AND POSSIBILITY OF DETECTING GRAVITATIONAL WAVES FROM CLOSE MASSIVE STELLAR SYSTEMS
Abstract and keywords
Abstract (English):
Using radiotelescope RT-22 in Simeiz, methanol lines of CH3OH were monitored at frequencies of 19.967 GHz (transition 21 → 30 Е) and 20.971 GHz (transition 101 → 112 A) in the direction of the massive region of active star formation G358.931-0.030. Two flashes of maser radiation were recorded. Monitoring of the flare-up event that occurred at a frequency of 19.967 GHz was preached. Galactic close binary systems, consisting of massive stars at the stage of the preceding main sequence, can be powerful sources of gravitational waves.
