arXiv:0704.2620 · doi:10.1017/S1743921307012495
Abstract
This review covers selected developments in maser theory since the previous meeting, "Cosmic Masers: From Proto-Stars to Black Holes" (Migenes & Reid 2002). Topics included are time variability of fundamental constants, pumping of OH megamasers and indicators for differentiating disks from bi-directional outflows.
Review presented at IAU symposium 242, "Astrophysical Masers and their Environments"
