Abstract
We propose simultaneous monitoring observations of 22 GHz $H_2O$ and 43/86/129 GHz SiO masers toward ~15 evolved stars in order to investigate spatial structure and dynamical effect from SiO to $H_2O$ maser regions including mass-loss process and development of asymmetry in circumstellar envelopes. We also aim at investigating mutual association and difference between SiO and $H_2O$ masers for establishing SiO and $H_2O$ maser models coupled to hydrodynamical model of circumstellar envelope. In addition, the correlation and difference of SiO maser properties among J=1-0, J=2-1, and J=3-2 transition masers are traced according to different type of stars for constraining SiO pumping models. These scientific goals and target sources were determined based on KVN single dish and VLBI feasibility test observations at 4 bands. As a total observing time of every 2 month monitoring, about 90 and 360 hours (in average per year) are required for single dish and VLBI observations, respectively. From the 2014B observing season, these monitoring observations will be derived as one of KVN key science programs.
