摘要
The collisional pumping of H (2) (16) O and H (2) (18) O masers in hot dense gas-dust clouds has been simulated numerically. New data on the rate coefficients for collisional transitions from Faure et al. (2007) were used in the calculations. The possibility of detecting H (2) (18) O emission in 22.2-GHz H (2) (16) O maser sources is investigated. The medium is shown to become optically thick in the H (2) (18) O lines for which an inverted level population is observed at H2O column densities of similar to 1019-1020 cm(-2). A simultaneous observation of H (2) (18) O emission and H (2) (16) O maser emission in the same source will allow the physical conditions in the gas-dust cloud to be refined.
