Interstellar and stellar water maser emission.
Abstract
A number of new water masers have been detected. The most notable, which has been designated S76W, is 950 Jy, making it one of the strongest water masers known. A second weaker and apparently unrelated source (S76E) is seen nearby. Two other Sharpless regions, S87 and S201, and two infrared stars, IRC +10374 and IRC +10523, have also been detected. The appearance of the nonstellar sources is discussed in terms of the evolutionary sequence of Genzel and Downes.
