Scientific paper

Previous surveys for water maser activity associated with star formation in H II regions have had relatively low sensitivity, small angular coverage, or both. We present the results of an extensive search for water maser emission associated with young stellar objects in two H II regions --- M16 and NGC 2175 --- conducted with the NRAO Very Large Array in August and September 2004. We report the detection of several previously unreported water masers in both H II regions. The observed spatial distribution of the new masers lends further support to the youngest stages of star formation occurring in close proximity to the H II region-molecular cloud interface. We present the positions and spectra of the newly discovered masers in M16 and NGC 2175 and discuss the local environments of the young stellar objects.
