Abstract
AbstractMaser effects occur in recombination lines when the plasma departs from local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE). Its consequence is not as dramatic as that found in molecular masers, and therefore it is more difficult to recognize. Besides, it occurs in compact high density regions, and its lines fall at millimeter and submillimeter wavelengths, only recently available with good angular resolution. This review will focus on the theoretical aspects of maser recombination lines and on the recent detection of these masers in different astronomical objects.
