Extract

Two outstanding problems in the interpretation of OH masers are their narrow linewidths, and the rare occurrence of Zeeman pairs (Reid and Moran 1981). On discovery, the narrow but intense features of OH sources suggested unsaturated maser action (Perkins et al 1966). However the features are often so bright that saturation must be involved, and in saturated growth the features should rebroaden to about the thermal width (Goldreich and Kwan 1974). This is not observed (Reid and Moran 1981).
