Scientific paper

The 1612 MHz OH emission from five OH/IR stars has been mapped at three epochs over a 2.5 yr period of time. Although the stars were observed at very different phases in the radio light curve of each, there were no remarkable changes in the appearance of the maps. This probably implies that the properties of the masers do not range widely throughout a maser shell. The maps have been used to produce star-centered surface maps of the distribution of maser emission from each star. The surface maps generally are sparsely filled with OH emission and are dominated by relatively few (about 10) major clumps of emission. The presence of large regions of low intensity in the surface maps suggests that the number of individual emitting elements is relatively small or that there are a larger number of elements which are distributed in the shell in a distinctly nonrandom manner.
