Target type: Blind
Transitions: OH_1665,SiO_1-0v0,CH3OH_9(I),CH3OH_23.4(I),CH3OH_25-30_GHz(I),CH3OH_36(I),CH3OH_44(I),CH3OH_95(I),CH3OH_132(I),CH3OH_6(II),CH3OH_23.1(II)

Abstract
We present first results of the H₂O Southern Galactic Plane Survey (HOPS), using the Mopra Radio Telescope with a broad-band backend and a beam size of about 2 arcmin. We have observed 100 deg² of the southern Galactic plane at 12 mm (19.5-27.5 GHz), including spectral line emission from H₂O masers, multiple metastable transitions of ammonia, cyanoacetylene, methanol and radio recombination lines. In this paper, we report on the characteristics of the survey and H₂O maser emission. We find 540 H₂O masers, of which 334 are new detections. The strongest maser is 3933 Jy and the weakest is 0.7 Jy, with 62 masers over 100 Jy. In 14 maser sites, the spread in the velocity of the H₂O maser emission exceeds 100 km s^-1. In one region, the H₂O maser velocities are separated by 351.3 km s^-1. The rms noise levels are typically between 1 and 2 Jy, with 95 per cent of the survey under 2 Jy. We estimate completeness limits of 98 per cent at around 8.4 Jy and 50 per cent at around 5.5 Jy. We estimate that there are between 800 and 1500 H₂O masers in the Galaxy that are detectable in a survey with similar completeness limits to HOPS. We report possible masers in NH₃ (11,9) and (8,6) emission towards G19.61-0.23 and in the NH₃ (3,3) line towards G23.33-0.30. eprintid: arXiv:1105.4663
