dc.descriptionWe report on the first detection of maser emission in the J=11-10, J=14-13 and J=15-14 transitions of the v=0 vibrational state of SiS toward the C-rich star IRC+10216. These masers seem to be produced in the very inhomogeneous region between the star and the inner dust formation zone, placed at 5-7 R*, with expansion velocities below 10 km/s. We interpret the pumping mechanism as due to overlaps between v=1-0 ro-vibrational lines of SiS and mid-IR lines of C2H2, HCN and their 13C isotopologues. The large number of overlaps found suggests the existence of strong masers for high-J v=0 and v=1 SiS transitions, located in the submillimeter range. In addition, it could be possible to find several rotational lines of the SiS isotopologues displaying maser emission.-

Lacy (NSF grant AST-0205518), and collaborators for the mid-infrared observations, and Spanish MEC for funding support through grant ESP2004-665, AYA2003-2785, and "Comunidad de Madrid" Government under PRICIT project S-0505/ESP-0237 (ASTROCAM).
