IC 4553 (Arp 220) is an infrared-luminous galaxy at a redshift of 0.018 which shows characteristics of both Seyfert and starburst activity and is believed to be the result of a recent merger. It is also distinguished by its OH megamaser which is one of the most luminous OH masers discovered. The VLBI observations of the OH reported here reveal compact structure in the megamaser which is consistent with the suggested presence of two Seyfert nuclei in IC 4553.
