Two IRAS sources with high velocity outflow similar to OH 231.8+4.2.
Abstract
In a search for OH maser emission from IRAS point sources the authors found amongst 700 detections two objects with exceptionally broad maser lines, between 150 and 200 km s-1. They present their OH line data, IRAS data and some additional visual and near infrared information. It is suggested that the two objects, together with the well known object, OH 231.4+4.2 constitute a small group of OH/IR stars showing bipolar mass loss.
