Abstract
Abstract20 OH/IR stars are monitored in the 1612 MHz OH maser line with the Nançay Radio Telescope. The program started in 2008 with monthly observations of the full sample and will last at least until end of 2012. The aim is the determination of the linear diameter of the circumstellar shell using the phase lag between the light curves of the varying OH maser lines. To use them for distance determinations, angular diameters are obtained by interferometric measurements while the stars pass the maximum of their OH maser flux density variations. The periods of the OH/IR stars monitored are between 425 and >2000 days.
