Abstract

Since 2009, the Torun 32 m radio telescope has been used to monitor a sample of ∼140 sources of the 6.7 GHz methanol maser emission. In 2022, the sample was extended to about 250 targets. Approximately three-quarters show variability greater than 10% on timescales of a few weeks to several years. The most significant results are detecting a few flare events and discovering about a dozen periodic variables with periods ranging from a month to a few years. Here, we present the preliminary analysis of the properties of periodic masers.
