Map of the methanol maser in GL 2789.

(a) 1998 observations

with contours at 0.22 x (4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) Jy/beam. (b) 2000 observations with
contours at 0.35 x (4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) Jy/beam. Components A, B, C, and D
correspond to spectral features with velocities of 43.4, 42.5, 40.7, and
40.4, respectively, (c) Relative positions of the methanol and water maser
spots. The cross shows the error in the relative position of the methanol
and water masers. (d) Variations of the radial velocity in the north-south
direction. The error in the relative position of H 2 and CH 3 OH masers is
shown in the lower left corner.

and is probably associated with the region of the stellar wind that is traced
by the SII optical lines. The dimensions of the region of SII emission and
of the region of radio- continuum emission coincide, as do the estimates of
the mean density in this zone derived from these observations, of the order
of 2 x 10 4 cm -3 . The analysis of the SII line profile performed by Hamann
and Persson [17] led them to conclude that, in addition to its stellar wind,
V645 Cyg possesses a dense circumstellar disk. This was based on the presence of only blue components in the SII line profile, corresponding to material
moving toward the observer. The red wing associated with the stellar-wind
material moving away from the observer was absent from the SII spectrum,
and Hamann and Persson [17] proposed that the emission in the red wing
was screened by the disk. The presence of a disk is also supported by the
emission in the KI, Fel, and Call lines, which arise in comparatively cool
material with a density of the order of 10 10 cm" 3 .
Figure 6 of [17] shows a model with a disk surrounding the star, together
with an extended region of stellar wind radiating in SII and H Q lines. In this
model, the H 2 and methanol masers could be located in the disk proposed
by Hamman and Persson [17]. Since the densities required for the H 2 0, and
especially the methanol, masers are lower than the density of the inner part
of the disk derived from optical line data, these masers must be located in a
lower-density region of the disk, at larger distances from the star.
In this model, the bipolar flow observed in GL 2789 [4] is emitted perpendicular to the disk and moves away from the star and masers at very large
distances or tens of thousands of AU.
5 DISCUSSION
The detection of a class II methanol maser and the demonstration that it is
associated with the optical object V645 Cyg, as well as the confirmation of
the connection between this object and the H2O maser, provide additional
arguments that V645 Cyg is a young stellar object. The source of thermal
radio emission surrounding this object is most likely not a classical HII region
,
and instead a region filled with stellar wind.
Another important characteristic of this young stellar object is the presence of a cool circumstellar disk, in which compact sources of H2O, methanol,
and possibly OH maser emission are immersed. In [18], which was dedicated
to the methanol masers in W3(OH), it was suggested that individual feat
