OBSERVATIONS OF SiO J = 3-2 AND J = 2-1 EMISSION IN LATE-TYPE STARS. II.

Second observations of SiO v = 1, 2, J = 3–2 transitions, together with SiO v = 1, J = 2–1 transitions, have been performed toward 42 program late-type stars, using the 14 m radio telescope at Taeduk Radio Astronomy Observatory, from 1997 February to 1998 March. The v = 1, J = 3–2 maser was detected from 24 stars giving a detection rate of 57%, which is slightly higher than that of the first observations of 1995–1996. Four of these are new detections. For the v = 2, J = 3–2 maser, the line was detected from six stars including two new detections. The peak velocities and the velocity patterns of the v = 1, J = 3–2 masers are different from those of the v = 1, J = 2–1 indicating a difference in the traced regions. The average total photon flux of the v = 1, J = 3–2 maser is estimated to be 10 42.7 , that of the v = 2, J = 3–2 maser 10 42.2 , and that of the v = 1, J = 2–1 maser 10 43.2 photons s −1 . In addition, we confirm that the v = 2, J = 4–3 maser is stronger than the v = 1, J = 4–3.
