摘要
We have surveyed a 140 deg strip along the Galactic plane with the VLA for OH masers. Fifty OH masers, including 14 new sources, were detected. The masers have a very narrow distribution in Galactic latitude and are probably Population I objects. A study of the IRAS counterparts to OH masers from this and other surveys reveals a strong correlation between the infrared colors of OH masers and Galactic latitude.
