The structure of interstellar hydroxyl masers - VLBI synthesis observations of W3/OH/
Abstract
The results of an extensive investigation of the 1665 MHz OH emission from W3(OH) are discussed. Interstellar OH masers are probably found in sources which span a range of evolutionary states. Synthesis maps of W75(N), for example, indicate that the OH emission comes from a region with dynamical properties more complex than found in W3(OH) (Haschick et al., 1980).
