Scientific paper

A sample of 40 nearby spiral galaxies with infrared colours dominated by star formation activity has been searched for OH mainline maser emission. No new detections were obtained, showing that a high level of such activity is not a sufficient condition for megamaser emission. Galaxies in which maser emission has been detected have significantly different infrared colours from the sample galaxies, showing strong excesses at both 25 and 60 μm. This is likely to be related to far-infrared pumping of the OH masers.
