Scientific paper

Published observational data on 127 OH-maser sources for which visible or IR identifications and distance estimates are available (mainly from the list of Engels, 1979) are analyzed statistically to determine their Galactic distribution and luminosity function. The results are presented graphically and discussed. A density distribution with a steep peak at about 7.5 kpc from the Galactic center and FWHM 2.1 kpc, similar to that found for Mira variables by Glass et al. (1982) and markedly different from that of Baud et al. (1979 and 1981) for unidentified objects, is observed. The luminosity function rho(L) is found to be equal to 189.67 L exp -1.79, like that for unidentified objects, despite the fact that the observed luminosity range (0.16-1000 Jy kpc sq) of the identified sources is wider than that determined by Bowers (1978) for unidentified sources.
