Abstract

We present new results from a 3D modelling code for maser flares which provides the user with control over the physical conditions; maser cloud geometry and orientation; and fast runtime via parallelisation. The statistics of simulated observables suggest that achievable amplification may be dependent on viewpoints of the source and that a randomly placed observer is likely to detect an unremarkable blue- or red-shifted maser unless the line-of-sight direction is optimal for maser amplification. A preliminary model of masers towards π1 Gru based on SPH simulations also shows promising consistency with ALMA observations of high-j SiO transitions from the source.
