... Observations . ... Only high sensitivity and high resolution line and continuum observations in the radio, submillimeter and infrared windows can hopefully address such questions. Using the VLA in its most extended (A) configuration for maser line and GHz continuum high resolution mapping, the CSO for submillimeter molecular line emission observations, and the TIRGO for NIR imaging, we are carrying out a detailed study of a sample of regions with known masers and broad-wing CO lines. ...
