Polarization Properties of Astrophysical Masers
<p>Observed interstellar OH and H<sub>2</sub>O maser lines at 18 cm and 1.35 cm exhibit unusual polarization properties. The OH emitters with the highest brightness temperatures, usually associated with H II regions, almost always show a high degree of circular polarization. The...
