Abstract

The 6.7 GHz methanol maser emitted by a high-mass star forming region G33.641-0.228 is known to exhibit fast flux density variability on timescales of less than one day. The mechanism of this variability, called burst, has not been known. We observed the circular polarization of this maser. As a result, we found that only the spectral components representing burst exhibit strong circular polarization exceeding 10%. This suggests that the two phenomena of the burst and circular polarization are related to each other.
