Abstract
The Australia Telescope Compact Array has been used to study more than 40 sites of 1.665-GHz hydroxyl masers and 36 sites of 6.668-GHz methanol masers. Maser positions accurate to better than 1 arcsec have been derived. At each maser site both species are commonly present, and comparisons have been made between the methanol and OH. In 28 of the 29 cases where we have accurate measurements of both species, the methanol and OH coincide to within the errors, with nominal separations of less than 1.4 arcsec. In only one case do the two species apparently arise from different sites, the separation in this instance exceeding 3 arcsec. 1.665-GHz OH masers are known to be excellent indicators of the sites of ultra-compact HII regions which envelop recently formed massive stars; our results confirm with high accuracy that masers of 1.665-GHz OH and 6.6-GHz methanol generally pinpoint identical HII regions. Thus the same evolutionary phase of the HII region is conducive to both OH and methanol maser emission. We briefly discuss the precise distribution of the masing molecules relative to the embedded star and its HII region, but this requires further study.
