OH maser emission from F- and G-type supergiant stars
We have detected OH maser emission from four stars classified at optical wavelengths as F- or G-type supergiants. The spectral characteristics of the OH masers are described. For the source HD 101584, images o...

OH/IR stars and the Galactic Centre distance
Since December 1988, we have been using the Parkes 64-m radio telescope to monitor the OH 1612-MHz maser emission from 95 OH/IR stars in the disc, halo and bulge of our Galaxy. The observations are used to det...

The Progenitors of Planetary Nebulae
Based on a new sample of (IRAS based) OH/IR stars (te Lintel Hekkert et al., 1991, A&AS, in press), and a catalogue of planetary nebulae compiled by Acker (1983, A&AS, 54, 315), we show the relation between th...

OH/IR Stars and Other IRAS Point Sources as Progenitors of Planetary Nebulae
We briefly review the history of the search for progenitors of planetary nebulae starting with Shklovsky’s (1956) paper. The inner structure of AGB stars (the likely progenitors) is sketched. The (1,b) distrib...

1612 Mhz Survey of Selected IRAS Point Sources
We observed the 1612 Mhz transition of the OH radical of IRAS point source positions, which, were selected by their IR color. The criteria were chosen in that way, that we would have a chance of at least 30% t...

A Large Scale OH Survey in Orion and Monoceros
Large scale map** in both the 1665 and 1667 MHz molecular lines of OH shows overlap of two clouds near 1 = 211° and b = -19° in Orion South. Clouds associated with Monoceros R2 show a shell like structure. V...

Survey of Galactic HI Emission At ∣b∣ ≤ 20°
We have used the NRAO 140-ft telescope to survey galactic HI near the galactic equator. The observations cover the part of the sky north of δ = −40° in the latitude range b = −20° to at least +20°; in some reg...
