The proximity of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and its high star formation rate make it a prime candidate for the study of massive star formation outside of the Milky Way. A search for water masers associated with massive young stellar objects (YSOs) was conducted toward 25 star-forming regions in the LMC. A total of 11 masers toward two regions were detected. Two continuum sources were detected and one was matched with a YSO candidate based off of Spitzer infrared data. Detection of associated masers strengthen their candidacy as high-mass YSOs, significantly increase the number of known extra-galactic masers, and give insight into massive star formation outside of our galaxy. |
