Description
We investigate the periodic variability of 6.7 GHz class II methanol masers in the high-mass star-forming region G174.20-0.08 using multi-epoch observations from the Hartebeesthoek Radio Astronomy Observatory (HartRAO). These masers trace dynamic processes near massive protostars. Our analysis reveals repeating flux variations, possibly linked to accretion bursts, binary motion, or disk instabilities. The study enhances our understanding of massive young stellar objects (MYSOs) and demonstrates the value of long-term monitoring in time-domain radio astronomy.
