Abstract
Context.Water maser emission is a powerful tracer of the presence of embedded sources in dense clouds since it requires elevated temperatures (>100 K) and densities (>107 cm-3) that can be found in circumstellar disks and/or jets/outflows associated with Young Stellar Objects. Bright rimmed clouds compressed by ionization fronts from nearby massive stars are considered good examples of externally triggered star formation, possibly resulting in the formation of massive stars.
