Infrared OH absorption lines in 1612 MHz OH maser sources
Abstract
ISO mid-infrared absorption data helps to distinguish between radiative and collisional pumping mechanisms in 1612 MHz OH masers in various environments. Archive data of OH absorption at 34.6 and 53.3μm shows different behavior and different pumping rates for different types of maser sources.
