44 and 95GHz observations of class I methanol masers

DOI

We report a simultaneous 44 and 95GHz class I methanol maser survey toward 144 sources from the 95GHz class I methanol maser catalog. The observations were made with the three telescopes of the Korean very long baseline interferometry network operating in single-dish mode. The detection rates are 89% at 44GHz and 77% at 95GHz. There are 106 new discoveries at 44GHz. Comparing the previous 95GHz detections with new observations of the same transitions made using the Purple Mountain Observatory 13.7m radio telescope shows no clear evidence of variability on a timescale of six years. Emission from the 44 and 95GHz transitions shows strong correlations in peak velocity, peak flux density, and integrated flux density, indicating that they are likely cospatial. We found that the peak flux density ratio S_pk,95_/S_pk,44_ decreases as the 44GHz peak flux density increases. We found that some class I methanol masers in our sample might be associated with infrared dark clouds, while others are associated with HII regions, indicating that some sources occur at an early stage of high-mass star formation, while others are located toward more evolved sources.
