Scientific paper

The stability of the radiation field in the celestial masers is studied using the time-dependent radiative-transfer equations and the time-dependent rate equations. The model used is a one-dimensional homogeneous maser with steady pumping. Fluctuations of the pump are considered phenomenologically. It is found that a saturated maser is stable if the amplitudes of the fluctuations are smaller than a critical value. This value increases with increasing degree of saturation. The intensity of a partially saturated system, however, is possibly unstable. The intensity may decrease or increase in this case, and substantial intensity variations are possible.
