Abstract
We have surveyed the Galactic center (GC) for OH/IR stars, evolved late-type stars of different masses - and thus ages - in a short-lived stage of heavy mass-loss. By observing the 1612 MHz OH masers generated in their circumstellar shells, it is found that a considerable fraction of these OH/IR stars has the same high-valued shell expansion velocity of 19 km s−1.
