Abstract We report a survey of excited-state hydroxyl (ex-OH) masers at the 4.7 and 6.0 GHz transitions toward a sample consisting of 3348 massive star-forming region candidates selected from the all-sky Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer point-source catalog. The survey was conducted with the Shanghai Tianma Radio Telescope. In total, 6, 9, and 30 sources were detected with the ex-OH masers at the 4766, 6031, and 6035 MHz transitions, respectively. Among them, one 4766 MHz, one 6031 MHz, and five 6035 MHz ex-OH maser sources are newly identified. A series of statistical analyses derived that the ex-OH masers were detected efficiently toward the subsamples associated with both the 6.7 GHz CH 3 OH maser and radio recombination lines (RRLs), whereas compared to the CH 3 OH masers, the ex-OH masers are more likely to be produced toward the sources with stronger 22 μ m band emission. A significant luminosity correlation is found between the ex-OH masers and RRLs. In addition, we found that the magnetic field strength of most sources with the 6.7 GHz CH 3 OH maser was stronger relative to that of sources without the CH 3 OH maser. Combined with these, it demonstrates that the ex-OH maser is associated with more evolved star-forming regions, likely associated with thicker dust envelopes. Meanwhile, the ex-OH masers might be a potential tracer for measuring the Galactic magnetic field information on the large-scale views using their Zeeman pairs.
