Scientific paper

We present observations of 22 GHz H2O masers toward the star forming region W3(OH) that were taken using the Very Long Baseline Array. A total of 74 H2O masers were detected in the region, clustered in three distinct groups. Significant linear polarization was observed in at least 25 masers, and significant Zeeman detections were made in 14 masers. We have compared the linear polarization detections with the Zeeman effect magnetic field measurements, and with predictions from maser theory.
