Masers are the microwave analogue of lasers; there are many
astronomical sources of natural maser emission, including gas
around forming and dying stars, and around supermassive black
holes. These bright sources of microwaves are fascinating in their
own right and provide unique abilities to probe details of
astronomical sources. Molecular maser emission studies address
important questions in the formation and evolution of stars, the
structure of our Milky Way Galaxy, the characteristics of
supermassive black holes, and fundamental parameters of cosmology.
More than 100 astronomers from around the world gathered in
Cagliari, Sardinia, for IAU Symposium 336 to discuss the latest
findings related to masers. These proceedings summarize state of
the art observations and theories pertaining to astrophysical
masers and their environments, for graduate students and
researchers. As new radio telescope facilities come online,
observations of masers will continue to shed light on a broad range
of important astrophysical problems.
