In this proceeding paper, we introduce the recent results of Galactic maser astrometry by mainly focusing on those obtained with Japanese VLBI array VERA. So far we have obtained parallaxes for 86 sources including preliminary results, and combination with the data obtained with VLBA/BeSSeL provides astrometric results for 159 sources. With these most updated results we conduct preliminary determinations of Galactic fundamental parameters, obtaining R0 = 8.16 ± 0.26 kpc and Θ0 = 237 ± 8 km/s. We also derive the rotation curve of the Milky Way Galaxy and confirm the previous results that the rotation curve is fairly flat between 5 kpc and 16 kpc, while a remarkable deviation is seen toward the Galactic center region. In addition to the results on the Galactic structure, we also present brief overviews on other science topics related to masers conducted with VERA, and also discuss the future prospect of the project.

Magnetic field is ubiquitous in the Universe and it plays essential roles in various astrophysical phenomena, yet its real origin and evolution are poorly known. This article reviews current understanding of magnetic fields in the interstellar medium, the Milky Way Galaxy, external galaxies, active galactic nuclei, clusters of galaxies, and the cosmic web. Particularly, the review concentrates on the achievements that have been provided by centimeter and meter wavelength radio observations. The article also introduces various methods to analyze linear polarization data, including synchrotron radiation, Faraday rotation, depolarization, and Faraday tomography., 40 pages, 16 figures, accepted for publication in PASJ

We report the results of multi-epoch very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) water (H2O) maser observations carried out with the VLBI Exploration of Radio Astrometry (VERA) toward the HW3d object within the Cepheus A star-forming region. We measured proper motions of 30 water maser features, tracing a compact bipolar outflow. This outflow is highly collimated, extending through ~400 mas (290 AU), and having a typical proper motion velocity of ~6 mas yr−1 (~21 km s−1). The dynamical timescale of the outflow was estimated to be ~100 years, showing that the outflow is tracing a very early star-formation phase. Our results provide strong support that the HW3d object harbors an internal massive protostar, as previous observations suggested. In addition, we have analyzed Very Large Array (VLA) archive 1.3 cm continuum data of the 1995 and 2006 epochs obtained towards Cepheus A. These results indicate possible different protostars around HW3d and/or strong variability in its radio continuum emission.

We present phase-referenced maps of the SiO maser transitions v = 1 J = 1–0 and v = 2 J = 1–0 from the symbiotic stellar system R Aquarii, which hosts an evolved AGB star plus a hot companion. Observations were performed at two epochs: 2004.98 and 2005.98. Accurate absolute coordinates and proper motions of the emission centroid were obtained; the errors expected for these parameters are also given. We compare the VERA data with the previous astrometry by Hipparcos. This represents a possibility to improve the orbital parameters of the system in a different way than that done before. Thanks to our accurate astrometry, we have also estimated the percentage of spot coincidences between both maser transitions, a parameter that has been proposed to be relevant to discriminate between different maser pumping schemes. Although the overall distributions of both lines are always similar, the spots are rarely coincident, in a percentage ranging between 3% and 20% of the cases. The lack of systematic coincidence favors, in principle, radiative pumping. However, we argue that no firm conclusion can be reached due to a lack of models that include an overlap of rovibrational lines, and that accurately address the coincidence of very intense spots of different maser transitions.

We observed the SiO (v = 1 and v = 2, J = 1–0) maser emissions toward the Mira variable IK Tauri (IK Tau, NML Tau, IRC +10050) over nine epochs from 2003 November to 2005 April using the VLBI Exploration of Radio Astrometry (VERA) telescope array. We found that the SiO maser distributions around IK Tau are highly variable, depending on the stellar pulsation phase. The velocity structures were complex and also time-variable, and are inconsistent with a simply rotating shell that was suggested by previous observations. Based on fittings of the SiO maser distributions to elliptical ring models, we found that the ring size seems to vary in correlation with the pulsation phase, as previously found for TX Cam. Comparisons of the v = 1 and v = 2 maser distributions reveal that 42–50% of the maser pairs have a positional offset less than 0.5 mas, suggesting that the maser pumping in these spots is likely to be dominated by line overlapping or collisional pumping, rather than pure radiative pumping. In order to model the velocity structure of the spoke-like features observed in IK Tau, we propose a ballistic-orbit model, in which a gas clump ejected from the stellar surface moves radially outward with a gravitational deceleration, and argue that the stellar mass can be deduced from that model.

We report on results of five-epoch VLBI observations of H2O maser emission in the M-type star IRC � 10414, carried out with the VLBI Exploration of Radio Astrometry (VERA). The maser distribution extends over an area of 70 mas � 260 mas and exhibits a bipolar structure. The relative proper motions of 17 maser features were measured during the monitoring observations spanning nine months. The distance to IRC � 10414 was re-estimated on the basis of the statistical treatment of parallax and the model-fitting method, yielding D = 3.1 ˙ 0.4 kpc and D = 2.0 ˙ 0.2 kpc, respectively. The estimated distance, D = 2–3 kpc, is much larger than that previously adopted. The stellar luminosity of IRC � 10414 is also re-estimated to be L� � 9 � 10 4 (D=2 kpc) 2 Lˇ, much brighter by a factor of 10–20 than previously adopted (L� � 10000 Lˇ). The maser motions exhibit not only a spherically expanding flow with a velocity of � 10 (D=2 kpc) km s � 1 , but also a faster bipolar outflow with a major axis in the north–south direction and at a small inclination angle with respect to the celestial sphere. These characteristics of the star and the

We report on results of multi-epoch VLBI observations of H2O masers associated with a low-mass young stellar object, IRAS 16293 2422 in Oph East, and a fringe-phase and position reference source, ICRF J162546.8 252738, using the VLBI Exploration of Radio Astrometry (VERA) for high-precision astrometry. We obtained an annual parallax of a maser feature to be = 5.6 0:5 mas, corresponding to a distance of D= 178 +18 37 pc. We also found 10 relative proper motions of maser features with respect to the maser feature mentioned above. The motion of the accompanying young stellar object (YSO) has already been found in thermal continuum emission previously observed with the Very Large Array. The intrinsic motions of masers have been estimated from the relative proper motions after the YSO’s motion is subtracted from, and a systemic secular motion of the position reference feature is added to the proper motions originally measured. The intrinsic maser kinematical structure may trace a bipolar outflow.

VERA aims at astrometric observations using phase referencing VLBI techniques, whose goal is a 10 micro arc-second accuracy for annual parallax measurements. VERA has four 20-m diameter VLBI radio telescopes in Japanese archipelago with the maximum baseline length of 2,300 km. They have the two-beam observing system, which makes simultaneous observations of two objects possible. This leads to very accurate phase referencing VLBI observations. An important science goal is to make a 3-dimensional map of the Galaxy and reveal its dynamics. In order to achieve this, VERA has the 22GHz and 43GHz bands for H2O and SiO maser objects, respectively. Maser objects are compact and suitable for astrometry observations. VERA's construction was started in 2000 and the array became operational in 2004. We have already measured annual parallaxes and proper motions of some galactic objects. In the future, VERA will collaborate with Korean and Chinese VLBI stations.

We present results of astrometric observations of S269 H2O maser performed with VERA (VLBI Exploration of Radio Astrometry). We have monitored the positions of S269 H2O masers for 1 year and successfully detected its parallax to be 189±8 micro-arcsecond. This corresponds to a source distance of 5.28+0.24−0.22kpc, and is the smallest parallax (and thus the largest distance) that has ever been measured by means of annual parallax. Proper motions of S269 H2O maser were also measured and used to determine the Galactic rotation velocity at the position of S269. Our measurements show that the Galactic rotation velocity at S269 is the same to that at the Sun within 3%, indicating that the Galactic rotation curve is flat out to R~13 kpc.

We report on multi-epoch observations of H2O maser emission in the star-forming region OH 43.8−0.1, carried out with VLBI Exploration of Radio Astrometry. The large-scale maser distributions obtained by single-beam VLBI mapping reveal new maser spots scattered over the area of 0. 7 ×1. 0, in addition to a ‘shell-like’ structure with a scale of 0. 3 ×0. �� 5, which was mapped previously. Proper motions were also obtained for 43 spots based on 5-epoch monitoring with a time span of 281 days. The distributions of the proper motions show a systematic outflow in the north–south direction with an expansion velocity of ∼ 8kms −1 . The overall distributions of the maser spots as well as the proper motions are better represented by a bipolar flow plus a central maser cluster with a complex structure, rather than a shell with uniform expansion, such as those found in Cep A R5 and W75N VLA2. The distance to OH 43.8−0.1 was also estimated based on the statistical parallax, yielding D =2 .8 ±0.5kpc. This distance is consistent with a near kinematic distance, and rules out a far kinematic distance (∼ 9kpc). Also, the radial velocity of the OH 43.8−0.1 combined with the distance provides a constraint on the flatness of the galactic rotation curve, indicating that there is no systematic difference in the rotation speeds at the Sun and at the position of OH 43.8−0.1, which is located at a galacto-centric radius of ∼ 6.3kpc.

We have been monitoring the flux density of Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*) at 22 GHz since DOY=42 (11 Feb. 2013) with a sub-array of the Japanese VLBI Network in order to search the increase of 22-GHz emission from Sgr A* induced by the interaction of the G2 cloud with the accretion disk. The flux densities observed until DOY=322 (18 Nov. 2013) are consistent with the previously observed values before the approaching of the cloud. We have detected no large flare during this period.

A SiO maser survey in the J =1 0, v = 1 and 2 transitions has been made for IRAS sources in the North Galactic Cap (b > 30) with the Nobeyama 45 m radio telescope. The sources were selected on the basis of their IRAS 12/25-m and 25/60-m flux ratios as likely oxygen-rich AGB candidates. SiO masers were detected from 24 out of the 97 selected sources, where 17 were new detections. The distances and heights above the Galactic plane are calculated. The Galactic distribution of detected and undetected stars indicates that metallicity is likely to govern the detection rate. The Galactocentric angular velocities of the subsampled stars are derived and their variation with the Galactic height is discussed.

A survey has been made in the SiO J = 1-0, v = 1 and 2 transitions (~43 GHz) for the color-selected IRAS sources in the central region of the Galaxy, -10? < l < 15? (except |l| ? 3?) and |b| ? 3?, with the Nobeyama 45 m telescope. We have detected 124 out of 200 observed sources in SiO masers. Distances to the sources range approximately from 2 to 11 kpc, if estimated from the IRAS 12 and 25 ?m flux densities. Radial velocities of the detected sources spread between ?260 km s-1. The distribution of SiO sources in the longitude-velocity diagram is compared with the H I contours. A number of sources are out of the H I limiting velocities; a group of negative-velocity (~-200 to -80 km s-1) sources is found at l = 3?-12? region. The subsamples of sources exhibit negative and positive shifts of the average radial velocity depending on distance, suggesting evidence of a streaming motion of stars in the bulge bar.

We have made multiepoch VLBA observations of water masers in the massive-star forming region W3 IRS 5. We measured radial velocities and proper motions of 108 water maser features during three observing sessions. The masers are clustered in two groups, which are associated with at least two different outflows. Positions of the outflow origins are close to the hypercompact radio continuum sources, which are clustered within a scale of 6000 AU. The continuum sources are probably driving sources of the outflows. We performed a three-dimensional kinematic model analysis of the maser motions in one of the two outflows, assuming a spherically symmetric expanding flow. We obtained a distance to the W3 IRS 5 region as 1.83 ? 0.14 kpc. The directions of the two outflows are roughly in the north-south direction, which is not significantly different from the direction of the global outflow seen in CO (J = 2-1) emission. This suggests that the massive-star cluster in the W3 IRS 5 region was created during formation of hierarchical structure in a parent molecular-cloud core. Such a structure is expected to preserve the angular momentum vector during star formation process, which may be along the directions of the present outflows.

A survey has been made in the SiO J = 1-0, v = 1 and 2 transitions (~43 GHz) for color-selected IRAS sources in the Galactic-center region of |l| ≤ 3° and |b| ≤ 3° using the Nobeyama 45 m telescope. We have detected 86 of 176 observed sources in the SiO masers. Distances to the sources are deduced from IRAS 12 and 25 μm flux densities and range approximately from 5 to 12 kpc. Radial velocities of the detected sources spread between -300 and 310 km s-1. The longitude-velocity (l-v) diagram exhibits an empty region of sources at l = -04-10 and Vlsr = 20-150 km s-1, which is interpreted as an undersampling effect of sources in the IRAS catalog at the Galactic central disk. The rotation rate, velocity dispersion, tilt angle of the rotation axis, and velocity shift at l = 0° are derived by fitting the velocities of the sources with a straight line as a function of Galactic longitude. These quantities are compatible with those obtained from previous observations of bulge stars with |b| > 3°. The average radial velocity of subsamples of stars tends to increase with distance, suggesting the presence streaming motion of stars in a barlike bulge. We conclude that most of the IRAS sources in the sample belong to the bulge.

We discuss the results on 26 water masers candidates observed with the 45 m millimeter wave telescope of the NRO of Japan, and propose using the tail length and integration intensity of the spectral line profile as criteria for molecular outflow. 9 out of the 26 candidates are shown to be without outflows.

CS (2-1) data of the Orion A Cloud obtained with the FCRAO 14 m telescope are shown. The CS (2-1) image shows the clumpy and filamentary structure of the Orion A cloud, as did our previous CS (1-0) image, obtained with the NRO 45 m telescope. The peak intensity TMB (CS 2-1) decreases more steeply than TMB (CS 1-0) toward the south along the filament. It is found that the gas density of the CS cores tends to be lower in the south of the cloud, and this explains the above difference in the line-intensity decrease. From CS and C34S data, we estimated the optical depth of CS (2-1) to be moderately high (2-5) and that of CS (1-0) to be typically less than unity.

We present aperture synthesis CO (J = 1-0) observations of the compact molecular outflow in the dark cloud B1 (Barnard 1). We have detected strong blueshifted emission having a peak brightness temperature of 14.3 K, while no significant emission was detected in the redshifted velocity range. The most prominent feature in our map is a distinct ringlike structure having a size of 25'' (8700 AU) × 14'' (5000 AU) at velocities blueshifted by 1.9-2.7 km s-1 from the systemic velocity. The central hole of the CO ring coincides well with the IRAS position, suggesting that this outflow is driven by the IRAS source, 03301+3057. The CO ring structure is interpreted as a conical outflow lobe with a brightened limb observed from its polar direction. The high-velocity gas that is blueshifted more than 4 km s-1 shows a V-shaped structure open to the southwest. This structure well delineates the northeast edge of the CO blue lobe observed with the single dish, where the CO lobe faces to the dense gas traced by the C18O emission. The strong peak of SiO emission observed by Yamamoto et al. is located at the interface between the CO outflow and the dense gas traced by the C18O and H13CO+ emission. This suggests that the outflow which emanates from the young star strongly interacts with the dense material and causes a shock that propagates into the surrounding cloud. The presence of strong SiO emission and the cold IRAS spectrum (log [Fν(60 μm)/Fν(100 μm)] < -0.76) suggest that the central source of B1 is a candidate for a protostar in the earliest evolutionary stage having an outflow in a nearly pole-on configuration.

We report preliminary results of a long-term survey of SiO v=l and v=2 J=l-0 masers towards 418 large-amplitude variables within 15′ of the Galactic center with the Nobeyama 45-m telescope. We have detected 194 masers out of 338 surveyed fields during 2001-2002. The averaged detection rate of 57% is comparable with that obtained towards IRAS point sources in the Galactic bulge. The detection rate increases clearly with the stellar pulsation periods. The Galactic longitude-radial velocity diagram of the SiO sources revealed is quite similar to that of OH masers. A hole in the diagram indicates the presence of the non-circular streaming motions of stars in the nuclear disk of the Galaxy

In order to search for new VLBI sources in the Galactic plane that can be used as phase reference sources in differential VLBI, we have conducted 22 GHz observations of radio sources in the Galactic plane using the Japanese VLBI Network (J-Net). We have observed 267 VLBI source candidates selected from existing radio surveys and have detected 93 sources at the signal-to-noise ratio larger than 5. While 42 of the 93 detected sources had already been detected with VLBI at relatively lower frequency (typically 2 to 8 GHz), the remaining 51 are found to be new VLBI sources detected for the first time. These VLBI sources are located within $|b|\le 5^\circ$, and have a large number of Galactic maser sources around them. Thus, they are potential candidates for phase reference sources for VLBI Exploration of Radio Astrometry (VERA), which is the first VLBI array dedicated to the phase referencing VLBI astrometry aiming at measuring the parallax and proper motion of maser sources in the whole Galaxy., Comment: to be published in PASJ (2000, Vol.52, No.5), 13 pages and 2 figures

We present an overview of recent astrometric results with VERA. Since 2004, we have been conducting astrometry of tens of Galactic maser sources with VERA, and recently obtained trigonometric parallaxes for several sources, with distances ranging from 180 pc to 5.3 kpc. In this paper, we briefly summarize the results for Galactic star-forming regions, including S269, Orion-KL, NGC 1333, ρ-oph, NGC 281 and others.

We have carried out multi-epoch VLBI observations of the H2O maser sources associated with young stellar objects (YSOs) in nearby molecular clouds with VERA (VLBI Exploration of Radio Astrometry), which is a newly constructed VLBI network in Japan (Kobayashiet al. 2003). The main goal of our study is to measure the absolute proper motions and distances to nearby molecular clouds within 1 kpc from the Sun, to reveal their 3-dimensional structures and dynamical properties. Using the VERA dual-beam receiving system (Honmaet al. 2003), we have carried out phase-referencing VLBI observations and measured annual parallaxes and absolute proper motions of the H2O maser features with respect to the extragalactic radio sources. We have successfully detected the annual parallax of one of the H2O maser features in Orion KL to be 2.29±0.10 mas, corresponding to the distance of 437±19 pc from the Sun (Hirotaet al. 2007). In addition, the annual parallax of SVS13 in NGC 1333 is also determined to be4.10±0.17 mas, corresponding to the distance of 244±10 pc from the Sun, although the life time of the maser features are only 6 months. The absolute proper motions of the H2O maser features associated with Orion KL and NGC 1333 are derived, possibly indicating the outflow motions from the YSOs as well as the systemic motions of the powering sources.

In this paper we discuss the potential use of VERA (VLBI exploration of radio astrometry) to study black holes based on phase-referencing VLBI astrometry. First we present a brief overview of the project, from system design to scientific targets, and then we discuss the possibilities to investigate black holes and other high energy phenomena that are possibly linked to black holes.

High-spatial-resolution observations of the NGC 7538 molecular cloud have been performed with the NRO 45-m telescope, JCMT, and Nobeyama Millimeter Array. We report on relationships among three high dense regions, three bipolar flows, and seven H2O masers.

National Astronomical Observatory, Japan has a plan to construct a new VLBI system named VERA (VLBI Exploration of Radio Astrometry). The system can measure precise positions of Galactic radio sources (H2O masers and SiO masers) referring to adjacent radio sources (QSO etc.) by using a differential VLBI method (Sasao and Morimoto, 1991).

A high-spatial-resolution observation of the NGC 7538 molecular cloud core has been performed with the Nobeyama Millimeter Array. We report on the detailed structure of the region including IRS1-3 complex and IRS11 based on the CS J = 1−0 line observational results.The observation was done in December, 1988. The field center was at R.A. (1950)=23h11m36.8s, Dec (1950)=61° 11′ 10″ which is between IRS1-3 complex and IRS11. The primary beam, 2.5’(FWHM), was large enough to cover both IRS1-3 complex and IRS11. We used 18 baselines, and the synthesized beam became 10.6″×10.4″ (natural weight).

We have made aperture synthesis observations of the very young planetary nebula CRL 618 by 12 CO J=1-0 line and continuum at 115.271 GHz with the Nobeyama Millimeter Array. The maps with the angular resolution of 3″.6×3″.5 show strong concentration of CO toward the ionized core with no clear evidence of a toroidal structure around the star nor along the axis of visible bipolar lobes. Velocity-channel maps show complex structures characterized by a spheroidal component weakly elongated to the east-west direction and a hornlike feature which looks to be spread from the center in a narrow opening angle. It seems difficult to interpret the maps by the simple model with a smooth outflow

A first high-resolution survey of molecular cloud cores in the Orion A giant molecular cloud is reported. We identified 125 molecular cloud cores from an analysis of the spatial and velocity distribution of the CS (1-0) emission. The cores are generally elongated along the filamentary molecular cloud, and the axial ratio is about 0.5. The mass spectrum index of the cores is -1.6 for M≥50 M ○ .. The physical properties of the cores identified in Orion are compared with those of cores in dark clouds reported in the literature. The average radius of the cores in the Orion A cloud, 0.16 pc, is comparable to that of the cores in dark clouds

A search is made for circumnuclear C-12O (J = 1-0) emission from 12 Seyfert galaxies with recession velocities less than 5000 km/s, using the Nobeyama Radio Observatory 45 m telescope. Circumnuclear CO emission has been detected from four Seyfert galaxies. Among them, NGC 591 (= Mrk 1157) is a new detection. Comparing these results with those of published larger beam CO observations, molecular gas clouds are not highly concentrated in the circumnuclear zones in the Seyfert galaxies. This property is different from that of starburst nuclei, in which the inner surface density of molecular gas is significantly higher than that of the outer one. However, there is no significant difference in the circumnuclear molecular gas densities between the Seyferts and the starburst nuclei. This implies that the circumnuclear molecular gas density within a diameter of less than 5 kpc is not a key parameter which activity occurs in galactic nuclei. 39 refs.

H2O maser emission in the NGC 7538 molecular cloud has been mapped with the Nobeyama Millimeter Array with absolute and relative positional accuracies of 0.5 arcsec and 0.2 arcsec, respectively. Five new masers have been found within an 8 arcmin x 8 arcmin area. One is associated with IRS 9, and the other four are not associated with any known infrared or optical sources. The brightest H{sub 2}O maser spot is 3 arcmin southwest from IRS 11 with a flux density of 156 Jy. These masers may be related to premain-sequence objects and/or protostars in the NGC 7538 molecular cloud. Two previously known H{sub 2}O masers associated with IRS 1-3 and IRS 11 are resolved into 11 and 12 maser spots, respectively. The H{sub 2}O maser spots associated with IRS 1-3 seem to be separated into two groups: one of which is very close to the ultracompact H II region at IRS 1, and the other far from IRS 1. 36 refs.

CS(J = 1−0), C34S(J = 1−0),andCH3OH(10−O0 A and E) emission lines in the core region of molecular cloud associated with NGC 7538 have been surveyed at angular resolution of 33”. Distribution of CS column density shows two prominent peaks. Both blueandred wings in CS line are most prominent at 30” northwest of IRS 11.

The CO (J = 1-0) emission at 115.271 GHz from the compact planetary nebula IRAS 21282 + 5050 has been mapped. The results suggest that the CO gas forms an expanding torus with an axis along the east-west direction, normal to the line of sight. The kinematical age of the torus is estimated at about 21,000 D yr, where D is the distance to IRAS 21282 + 5050 in kpc. It is concluded that IRAS 21282 + 5050 is in earlier evolutionary stage of planetary nebular than NGC 7027 and NGC 2346. 20 refs.

Observations of the high-velocity flows in the high-density core region of the molecular cloud NGC 7538 are reported. The core region is found to be a very active site of the flows. Three such flows, associated with IRS 1, IRS 9, and IRS 11, and one possible candidate are found. The energy input into the core region from the flows is so large that it can compensate for the energy dissipation by turbulence in the region for at least several tens of thousands of years. If the conversion efficiency is near 100 percent, the flows will destroy the core region. 34 refs.

Millimeter-wave, near-IR, and 21 cm observations of the radio source G70.7 + 1.2 , which has been proposed to be a recent SNR developing inside a molecular cloud, are presented. A small molecular cloud with properties similar to a large dark cloud or globule is interacting with the nonthermal radio continuum source. The molecular cloud has a lumpy structure with its highest column density portion lying just outside the brightest portion of the radio continuum shell. If the radio source was produced by a supernova explosion, its kinetic energy was several orders of magnitude less than that of most observed supernovae. An OB star wind with certain characteristics is sufficient to drive the bubble, but the high radio continuum nonthermal surface brightness and polarization of the object is not explained by this model. 23 references.

The high-velocity (C-12)O (J = 1-0) emission in B335 with a high angular resolution of 16 arcsec has been mapped. The high-velocity emission shows distinct bipolar pattern centered at IRAS 19345+0727, toward which a strong high-velocity (C-12)O emission has been detected. The bipolar lobes delineate remarkable collimation toward the IRAS source, indicating that the flow is focused within 0.02 pc of the driving source. Each lobe is accompanied by significant wing emission with the opposite velocity shift, which clearly shows the association with IRAS 19345+0727. This feature is well explained as a bipolar flow the axis of which is nearly perpendicular to the line of sight. There is no evidence of another evolved bipolar flow which does not associate with any dense core as previously suggested. This suggests that B335 is a site of very recent star formation, containing a single bipolar flow with an age of about 30,000 yr. 15 references.
