Abstract

OH maser main-line emission at 1665 MHz has been detected in the direction of two late-type supergiants, TV Gem (Mllab) and BI Cyg (M3Iab), with the 43-m telescope and 18-cm receiver at NRAO-Green Bank. Detection of two new OH maser sources here is particularly interesting in view of the relatively small number of late-type supergiants that are known as molecular radio sources or associated in close proximity with OH emission clouds. The infrared, ultraviolet, and radio properties of these stars are discussed briefly.
