The study of high-mass star formation processes is complicated because the sources are embedded in regions of dense gas and dust, limiting their study to radio and infrared bands. In addition, they form in groups, their evolution is much faster than for low-mass star formation and are distributed much farther away. Our present understanding comes from the study of the ionizing regions in which they are formed via molecular, IR, mm and MASER emission observations.
Low-mass star formation regions seem to be reasonably explained by the disk-YSO-outflow model but it is not completely clear if the same model describes high-mass star formation. Water maser observations have proven to be a valuable tool to find and study this regions. We present and discuss high-sensitivity and high-resolution water MASER and continuum emission observations of some of these regions.
