cds-question@unistra.frastrophysical-masersradio-astronomyactive-galactic-nucleigalaxiesinfrared-sourcesinfrared-photometryWe compiled all 119 OH maser galaxies (110 out of them are megamasers, i.e., L_OH_>10L_{sun}_) published so far and cross-identified these OH masers with the Wide-Field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) catalog, to investigate the middle infrared (MIR) properties of OH maser galaxies. The WISE magnitude data at the 3.4, 4.6, 12 and 22{mu}m (W1 to W4) are collected for the OH maser sample and one control sample, which are non-detection sources. The color-color diagrams show that both OH megamaser (OHM) and non-OHM (ultra)luminous infrared galaxies ((U)LIRGs) are far away from the single blackbody model line and many of them can follow the path described by the power-law model. The active galaxy nuclei (AGN) fraction is about ~40% for both OHM and non-OHM (U)LIRGs, according to the AGN criteria W1-W2>=0.8. Among the Arecibo survey sample, OHM sources tend to have a lower luminosity at short MIR wavelengths (e.g., 3.4{mu}m and 4.6{mu}m) than that of non-OHM sources, which should come from the low OHM fraction among the survey sample with large 3.4{mu}m and 4.6{mu}m luminosity. The OHM fraction tends to increase with cooler MIR colors (larger F_22{mu}m_/F_3.4{mu}m_). These may be good for sample selection when searching OH megamasers, such as excluding extreme luminous sources at short MIR wavelengths, choosing sources with cooler MIR colors. In the case of the power-law model, we derived the spectral indices for our samples. For the Arecibo survey sample, OHM (U)LIRGs tend to have larger spectral index {alpha}_22-12_ than non-OHM sources, which agrees with previous results. One significant correlation exists between the WISE infrared luminosity at 22{mu}m and the color [W1]-[W4] for the Arecibo OHM hosts. These clues should provide suitable constraints on the sample selection for OH megamaser surveys by future advanced telescopes (e.g., FAST). In addition, the correlation of maser luminosity and the MIR luminosity of maser hosts tends to be non-significant, which may indirectly support the pumping of OHM emission that is dominated by the far infrared radiation, instead of the MIR radiation.2014A&A...570A.110Zhttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/A+A/570/A110CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicerelated-toJ/AJ/124/100 : OH megamasers at z>0.1.
