Scientific paper

We study the optical properties of the host galaxies of extragalactic circumnuclear water masers. We cross-match the galaxies surveyed for nuclear water maser emission with the SDSS low-z galaxy sample with redshift z<0.05 in the NYU-VAGC catalog and find that the detection rate of masers is higher at higher optical luminosity, larger velocity dispersion, and higher [OIII] lambda 5007 luminosity. We discuss the possible physical explanations and implications for future surveys.
