Scientific paper

The results of a radio survey of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) demonstrating the presence of a water vapor maser in the N159 region are presented. The survey was carried out in 1979-80 using the 45 ft Itapetinga radio telescope. The water maser discovered in N159 coincides with the lowest color temperature far-IR source detected in the LMC, 30 Doradus. The water maser is much weaker in terms of total luminosity than the W49 masers, but would be a strong source of 80,000 Jy if placed at the distance of the Orion Nebula.
