The 107 GHz Methanol Transition Is a Dasar in G0.253+0.016

We present observations of population anti-inversion in the 3 _1 − 4 _0 A ^+ transition of CH _3 OH (methanol) at 107.013831 GHz toward the Galactic center cloud G0.253+0.016 (“The Brick”). Anti-inversion of molecular level populations can result in absorption lines against the cosmic microwave back...
