Three strong flares of the H2O maser G25.65+1.05 (IRAS 18316-0602, RAFGL 7009S) at a frequency of 22.235 GHz (November-December 2016, August-September and October 2017) were reported earlier (Lekht et al., arXiv:1709.08197; Volvach and Volvach, et al. 2017, ATel #10728, #10853). The 6.668-GHz methanol maser in the same object showed moderate flux rises nearly coincident with the H2O flares (Sugiyama et al., Atel #10757). On the basis of infrared K-band observations Sobolev et al. (2017, Atel #10788) concluded that the variability of the associated infrared source 2MASS 18342090-0559425 can be the cause of the H2O and methanol maser variations in G25.65+1.05.
Hereby we report another strong short-living flare of the H2O 22.235-GHz maser G25.65+1.05 in November 2017. We observed it at the 22-meter radio telescope of the Pushchino Radio Astronomy Observatory (Russia). The peak flux density at VLSR = 42.1 km/s rose from ~20 kJy to 76 kJy within half a day November 20 and then rapidly faded to 16 kJy on November 22.
