Extended OH emission at 1720 MHz

OSTI ID:4372809
Low velocity OH emission lines at l720 MHz were investigated in the direction of W41, W43, W51, and 3C 353. The emission lines in the direction of W43 and W5l showed no detectable circular polarization and were about 27 and 32 arc min in size, respectively. The inferred peak brightness temperatures were 0.8 K for W43 and 2.0 K for W51. This emission may be similar to the nonthermal 1720 MHz emission in dust clouds. (auth)
