Scientific paper

WE have previously found1 intensity ratios of the four microwave lines of OH in disagreement with the theoretical and laboratory ratios2 of 1 : 5 : 9 : 1 for the lines at 1,612, 1,665, 1,667 and 1,720 Mc/s. For the strong OH absorption of the radio source Sagittarius A it appeared that the ratios might be attributed to high opacity3. We now report a more detailed series of measurements which shows that high opacity alone cannot account for the observations and that disturbed populations of the levels have to be invoked.
