Abstract

We started high-cadence monitoring observations of 6.7 GHz methanol masers from Dec. 2012 using Hitachi 32-m radio telescope (Yonekura et al.(2016). Observations have been conducted basically every day. On average, 13 hours of observations have been made per day, amounting to 4000–5000 hours per year. The cadence varies by sources: one observation in 1–50 days. In addition to already known 29 sources (Tanabe et al. 2023 and references therein), we have newly identified ∼20 sources with periodic flux variability. We have also detected 5 sources with sudden flux rises in 2019–2022, including G358.93–0.03 which was confirmed to be associated with the accretion burst.
