Survey of OH Masers at 1665 MHz. II. Galactic Longitude 340o to the Galactic Centre

Abstract

The galactic plane from longitude 340° through the galactic centre to longitude + 2° has been searched for OH on the 1665 MHz transition. Forty-nine OH maser emission sources were detected and these have now been studied on all four OH ground-state transitions. Most of the masers are associated with regions of star formation (type I) while three may be examples of late-type stars (type II OH/IR) with unusually strong main-line emission
