The Potential of FAST in Detecting Celestial Hydroxyl Masers and Related
  Science Topics
  The Five Hundred Meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST) will make
contributions to the study of Galactic and extragalactic masers. The telescope,
now finished construction and commissioning in China, has an innovative design
that leads to the highest sensitivity of any single dish telescope in the
world. FAST's potential for OH megamaser research is discussed, including the
sky density of masers detectable in surveys. The scientific impact expected
from FAST maser studies is also discussed.
