Abstract

We present the results of an unbiased survey for 6.7GHz methanol masers in the Galactic plane carried out using the 305m Arecibo radio telescope. A total of 18.2deg^2^ was surveyed with uniform sampling at 35.2<=l<=53.7, |b|<=0.41. The large collecting area of Aecibo and the sensitive C-Band High receiver allowed the survey to be complete at the level of 0.27Jy, making this the most sensitive blind survey carried out to date. We detected a total of 86 sources, 48 of which are new detections. Most of the new detections have a peak flux density below 2Jy. Many methanol masers are clustered, reflecting the formation of massive stars in clusters.
