1977 Astron. Jrnl. 82 406/2 The closest H ii region that exhibits masering is Orion A.
1981 Astron. & Astrophysics 100 l12/1 The simplest explanation..is that..some initial event has changed the temperature and density of the maser cloud to produce enhanced masering.
1988 Astron. & Astrophysics 196 327/2 Section 6 contains a discussion of the necessary physical conditions for synchrotron masering in a thermal plasma.

1962 Appl. Physics Lett. 1 91/2 To further confirm this conclusion that the diode was masering, we made two other observations.]
1971 Physics Bull. Mar. 143/1 A well known feature of masers is the narrowing they produce in the emitted spectral lines and this is no less a characteristic of interstellar OH masers which have line widths far less than expected for the Doppler motions within the masering clouds.
1987 Astron. & Astrophysics 173 358/2 Model calculations..predict that the (3, 3) line of ortho ammonia should be masering for a range of cloud parameters.
