Results of observations of circumstellar maser sources in long-period variable stars are reported. We have monitored a sample of Mira-type and semiregular variables in the H2O (wavelength 1.35 cm) and OH (wavelength 18 cm) radio lines. A comparison with data of optical photometry and spectroscopy has been done. WATER VAPOUR The observations in the H2O line at 1.35 cm were carried out on the RT-22 radio telescope of the Pushchino Radio Astronomy Observatory in 1980-2011. Sensitivity is ~10-15 Jy, velocity resolution 0.082 km/s. The sample included sixty late-type variable stars with circumstellar envelopes and sixty-five star-forming regions. For most stars twenty to thirty variability cycles (lasting about a year) were covered. There is a correlation of the H2O line flux density with the light variations: in general, the maser intensity follows the optical variability with a certain phase lag. A model, in which the maser variability is caused by the joint influence of a shock wave propagating in the circumstellar envelope and of the variable radio continuum of the stellar photosphere, is considered. There are indications to a quasiperiodic character of the variations of the integrated H2O line flux and mean radial velocity of the maser emission at a timescale of 14-15 years. HYDROXYL Polarimetry of the OH maser emission has allowed us to draw conclusions about circumstellar magnetic field. The observations of OH masers were carried out at a wavelength of 18 cm on the radio telescope of the Nancay Radio Astronomy Observatory (France). , The recent upgrade of the telescope allows us to measure simultaneously all four Stokes parameters of the OH maser emission. In 2007-2011 seventy late-type stars (including Mira-type and semiregular variables) were observed as well as some OH masers in star-forming regions. The sample largely overlaps with that of the sources observed in the H2O line. For 53 of the late-type stars the emission in at least one of three OH lines (1612, 1665, or 1667 MHz) was detected and all four Stokes parameters were measured. The emission of T Lep in the 1665 and 1667 MHz OH lines was observed for the first time. In the Stokes profiles of several stars (including T Lep) features probably due to Zeeman splitting were detected. Estimates of the magnetic intensity in the maser sources (0.46-2.32 mG) were obtained. This work was supported by the Russian Foundation for Basic Research (project code 09-02-00963-a).
