WISE properties of OH megamaser galaxies: Guide for future FAST OHM survey?
Abstract
All 119 OH maser galaxies (110 out of them are megamasers, i.e., L OH > 10 L ⊙, OHMs) published so far were compiled and were cross-identified with the Wide-Field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) catalog. Our aim is to investigate intrinsic middle-infrared properties of OH maser galaxies and try to find some hints on sample selections on OHM surveys through the coming Five hundred aperture spherical telescope (FAST). In addition, enormous potentials for OHM surveys by future FAST are investigated, based on its innovative designs and its expected best sensitivity among single dish telescopes.
