Abstract

We collect all published OH, H2O, SiO and CH3OH masers in literature. The\nassociated infrared sources of these four masers were identified with MSX PSC\ncatalogues. We look for common infrared properties among the sources associated\nwith four masers and make a statistical study. The MSX sources associated with\nstellar OH, stellar H2O and SiO masers concentrated in a small regions and the\nMSX sources associated with interstellar OH, interstellar H2O and CH3OH masers\nalso concentrated in a small regions in an [A]-[D].vs.[A][-[E] diagram. These\nresults give us new criterion to search for coexisting stellar maser samples\nfor OH, H2O and SiO masers and interstellar maser samples for OH, H2O and CH3OH\nmasers.\n
