A pre-flare Space-VLBI observation of G25.65+1.05 resolves a compact 55.8 km/s H2O maser and shows the flaring feature was already double, supporting the overlapping-sheets flare model.

abstract
In a rare and spectacular display, two well-known massive star forming regions, W49N and G25.65+1.05, recently underwent maser 'super burst' - their fluxes suddenly increasing above 30,000 and 18,000 Jy, respectively, reaching several orders of magnitude above their usual values. In quick-response, ToO observations with the EVN, VLBA and KaVA were obtained constituting a 4 week campaign - producing a high-cadence multi-epoch VLBI investigation of the maser emission. The combination of high-resolution, polarisation and flux monitoring during the burst provides one of the best accounts, to date, of the maser super burst phenomenon, aiding their use as astrophysical tools. These proceedings contain the preliminary results of our campaign.

Radioastron probing the fine structure of the flaring H2O maser in star-forming region G25.65+1.05
A pre-flare Space-VLBI observation of G25.65+1.05 resolves a compact 55.8 km/s H2O maser and shows the flaring feature was already double, supporting the overlapping-sheets flare model.
