Abstract

A new photo-excitation mechanism for masers of star-formation regions is presented, based upon the interaction between VUV photons and interstellar molecules. By using the mechanism, the unified interpretation of both H₂O and OH masers can be argued, astronomical conditions can be satisfied.
