Scientific paper

A number of OH/IR stars with accurately known positions were searched for radio continuum emission at a wavelength of 6 cm (5 GHz). None were detected at a level of ≡0.1 mJy. The lack of detections in this and previous searches implies either that the transition time between the tip of the asymptotic giant branch, the locus of the OH/IR stars, and the planetary nebula stage is much shorter than the duration of the "superwind" phase, or that there is a noticeable difference between the OH/IR stars on the one hand and Vy2-2, the only known example of an object in the transition stage, on the other.
