Scientific paper

We propose to continue the Mopra maser and flux monitoring program, encompassing all three millimetre receiver systems. We request 24 hours at the beginning of every month. During the 24 hour runs, we will observe all SiO masers used for pointing at 7mm and 3mm, a selection of 12mm H2O masers as well as the three main thermal line sources Orion KL, IRC+10216, M17SW and Jupiter for flux calibration. This project will help us in providing quality control for the observer's data as well as long term system monitoring. On the science side, it will provide characterisation of the long term variability of these masers as well as a base for quantifying millimetre observing conditions outside the traditional observing periods. Because masers are variable on very short timescales, the monthly scheduling of this project will ascertain that an adequate number of pointing sources for all observers remains available. The SiO maser pointing database will be updated immediately after every run.
