Polarization properties of the 6.7 GHz methanol masers in NGC6334F
read the original abstract
The Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) has been used to make the first full polarization observations of 6.7 GHz methanol masers. Linear polarization was detected towards all four sources observed, at levels between a few and 10%, while none of the sources show circular polarization stronger than approximately 1.5%. Linear polarization appears to be more common in the 6.7 GHz methanol maser transition than it is for the 12.2 GHz transition, consistent with the hypothesis that the 6.7 GHz masers are more saturated.

Polarization Observations of a Sample of 6.7 GHz Methanol Masers
Polarization observations of 6.7 GHz methanol masers show linear and circular components with Zeeman splitting that varies over time, interpreted as evidence for changing magnetic fields.
