86 GHz VLBI Imaging of the SiO Masers in VX Sgr
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
We present the first 86 GHz spectral line VLBI map. Strong SiO masers in the late type star VX Sgr are mapped with a relative astrometry of 0.15 mas revealing an irregular ring of maser emission that echos structure seen at 43 GHz. A surprising feature of this map is the detection of a large (0.5 km s−1 AU−1 ) linear velocity gradient that can be interpreted as rigid rotation of the circumstellar envelope.
