Abstract

Following an eruptive accretion event in NGC6334I-MM1, flares in the various maser species, including water masers, were triggered. We report the observed relative proper motion of the highly variable water masers associated with the massive star-forming region, NGC6334I. High velocity H2O maser proper motions were detected in five maser clusters, CM2-W2 (bow-shock structure), MM1-W1, MM1-W3, UCHII-W1, and UCHII-W3. The overall average of the derived relative proper motion is 85km/s. This mean proper motion is in agreement with the previous results from VLA multiepoch observations. Our position as well as the velocity variance and covariance matrix analyses of the maser proper motions show its major axis to have a position angle of -79.4, cutting through the dust cavity around MM1B and being aligned in the northwest-southeast direction. We interpret this as the axis of the jet driving the CM2 shock and the maser motion. The complicated proper motions in MM1-W1 can be explained by the combined influence of the MM1 northeast-southwest bipolar outflow, the CS(6-5) north-south collimated bipolar outflow, and the radio jet. The relative proper motions of the H2O masers in UCHII-W1 are likely not driven by the jets of the MM1B protostar but by MM3-UCHII. Overall, the post-accretion burst relative proper motions of the H2O masers trace shocks of jet motion.
