OH maser emission from warm variable stars.
Abstract
Main line (1665 MHz/1667 MHz) OH emission from three warm variable stars, TW Aql, TX Per, and RV Tau, has been discovered. These stars are spectral class G when they are warmest and are considerably hotter than nearly all known stellar masers. The discovery of maser emission from these stars greatly enlarges the range of stellar types from which maser emission is observed.
