Abstract

ABSTRACT We present the second portion of a catalogue of 12.2-GHz methanol masers detected towards 6.7-GHz methanol masers observed in the unbiased Methanol Multibeam (MMB) survey. Using the Parkes radio telescope we have targeted all 207 6.7-GHz methanol masers in the longitude range 186°-330° for 12.2-GHz counterparts. We report the detection of 83 12.2-GHz methanol masers, and one additional source which we suspect is thermal emission, equating to a detection rate of 40 per cent. Of the 83 maser detections, 39 are reported here for the first time. We discuss source properties, including variability and highlight a number of unusual sources. We present a list of 45 candidates that are likely to harbour methanol masers in the 107.0-GHz transition. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
