Abstract

OH gigamaser emission has been detected in the luminous FIR galaxy IRAS 14070+0525 at a redshift of 0.265. The FIR luminosity of IRAS 14070+0525 is 10^12.5 L_⊙. The OH line luminosity is 1.4 × 10⁴ L_⊙, making it the most luminous known OH emitter. The OH line emission covers a velocity range of approximately 2400 km s^-1. Two distinct components in the OH emission reveal a powerful outflow component and/or the interactive nature of the system.
