In 2014 we conducted a survey for 6.7 GHz methanol masers with the Arecibo Telescope toward far infrared sources selected from the Hi-GAL catalog of massive cores. We found a number of sources with weak 6.7 GHz methanol masers, possibly indicating regions in early stages of star formation. Here we describe the results of follow-up observations that were conducted with the Very Large Array in New Mexico to characterize this new population of “weak” 6.7 GHz methanol masers.
