Astronomers detect methanol masers in disks of low-mass protostars
An international team led by Maria Drozdovskaya of the University of Bern, as part of the COMPASS project, studied 11 protostars with ALMA and found methanol in their disks, and in IRAS 4A2 also its deuterated version. In more than half of the objects, methanol acts as a maser previously observed only around massive stars.
