Scientific paper

We report the discovery of four NH3 (3, 3) masers in the NGC 6334 star formation region. The masers are found in two of the seven far-infrared continuum sources where high-mass star formation is taking place in this molecular cloud. These masers occur at the ends of high-velocity molecular outflows; no maser emission was found near regions without high-velocity outflows. The NH3 masers are not associated with any other type of maser. These results confirm that the NH3 (3, 3) masers are caused by shocks and probably mark the location where the molecular outflow jet impinges upon the ambient medium.
