Water maser and NH_3_ survey of GLIMPSE EGOs
Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)
We present the results of a Nobeyama 45m H_2_O maser and NH_3_ survey of all 94 northern GLIMPSE extended green objects (EGOs), a sample of massive young stellar objects (MYSOs) identified based on their extended 4.5{mu}m emission.
Description
We observed the NH_3_(1,1), (2,2), and (3,3) inversion lines, and detected emission toward 97%, 63%, and 46% of our sample, respectively (median rms~50mK). The H_2_O maser detection rate is 68% (median rms~0.11Jy).
The derived H_2_O maser and clump-scale gas properties are consistent with the identification of EGOs as young MYSOs. To explore the degree of variation among EGOs, we analyze subsamples defined based on mid-infrared (MIR) properties or maser associations. H_2_O masers and warm dense gas, as indicated by emission in the higher-excitation NH_3_ transitions, are most frequently detected toward EGOs also associated with both Class I and II CH_3_OH masers.

Ninety-five percent (81%) of such EGOs are detected in H_2_O (NH_3_(3,3)), compared to only 33% (7%) of EGOs without either CH_3_OH maser type. As populations, EGOs associated with Class I and/or II CH_3_OH masers have significantly higher NH_3_ line widths, column densities, and kinetic temperatures than EGOs undetected in CH_3_OH maser surveys. However, we find no evidence for statistically significant differences in H_2_O maser properties (such as maser luminosity) among any EGO subsamples.
Combining our data with the 1.1mm continuum Bolocam Galactic Plane Survey, we find no correlation between isotropic H_2_O maser luminosity and clump number density. H_2_O maser luminosity is weakly correlated with clump (gas) temperature and clump mass.
