Abstract

We report the discovery of water maser emission in five active galactic nuclei (AGNs) with the 100m Green Bank Telescope (GBT). The positions of the newly discovered masers, measured with the VLA, are consistent with the optical positions of the host nuclei to within 1{sigma} (0.3" radio and 1.3" optical) and most likely mark the locations of the embedded central engines. The spectra of three sources, 2MASX J08362280+3327383, NGC 6264, and UGC 09618 NED02 (PGC 053432), display the characteristic spectral signature of emission from an edge-on accretion disk with maximum orbital velocity of ~700, ~800, and ~1300km/s, respectively. We also present a GBT spectrum of a previously known source, Mrk 0034, and interpret the narrow Doppler components reported here as indirect evidence that the emission originates in an edge-on accretion disk with orbital velocity of ~500km/s .
