Detecting the maser emission in H2 O, OH and Si O molecules toward infrared-excess objects is one of the methods for identifing long-period variables(LPVs, including miras and semiregulars), because these stars exhibit maser activity in their circumstellar shells. Our sample contains 1803 known LPV objects. Forty-six percent of these stars(832 objects) manifest maser emission in the line of at least one molecule: H2 O, OH or Si O. We use the database of circumstellar masers in order to search for LPVs which are not included in the General Catalogue of Variable Stars(GCVS). Our database contains 4806 objects(3866 objects without associations in GCVS) with maser detection in at least one molecule. Therefore it is possible to use the database in order to locate and study the large sample of LPV stars. The database can be accessed at http://maserdb.net.展开更多

These include three isotopologues of carbon monoxide （CO）, ammonia （NH3） and carbon monosulfide （CS）. The aim of this work is to study the general structure and kinematics of the filamen- tary cloud, and its fragmentation and physical parameters. The gas temperature is derived from the NH3 （J, K） = （1, 1）, （2, 2） and 12CO（2-1） lines, and the 13CO（1-0）, 13CO（2-1） emission is used to inves- tigate the overall gas distribution and kinematics. Several dense clumps are identified from the CS（2-1） data. Values of the gas temperature lie in the range 10 - 35 K, and column density N（H2） reaches the value 5.1 ×1022 cm-2. The width of the filament is of order 1 pc. The masses of the dense clumps range from ×30 M⊙ to - 160 M⊙. They appear to be gravitationally unstable. The molecular emission shows a gas dynamical coherence along the filament, The velocity pattern may indicate longitudinal collapse.展开更多
