Scientific paper

We propose to use ATCA to observe a set of methanol masers with full polarisation, to allow the magnetic fields to be traced in these sources. The solution for the magnetic field direction, from the linear polarisation and for the magnetic field magnitude, from the circular polarisation, allows us to trace the field changes across the source. By selecting masers which are resolved by ATCA, and with modelling of the structure in combination with the observed fields, we can trace the 3-D magnetic field structure in Massive Star Forming Regions. Thereby revealing the contributions of the magnetic fields in their formation.
