Poggio dei Pini, Strada 54, 09012 Capoterra (CA), Italy Abstract. We report the first results of an ongoing survey at 22GHz with the 100-m Effelsberg telescope to search for water maser emission in bright IRAS sources. We have detected water vapor emission in IC 342. The maser, associated with a star forming region ～10–15′′ west of the nu- cleus, consists of a single 0.5 km s?1 wide feature and reaches an isotropic luminosity of 10?2 L⊙ (D=1.8Mpc). Our detection raises the detection rate among northern galaxies with IRAS point source fluxes S100μm 50 Jy to 16%. 1. Introduction To date, luminous extragalactic H2O masers can be grouped into three classes: those tracing accretion disks (e.g. NGC 4258); those in which the emission is either the result of an interaction between the radio jet and an encroaching molecular cloud or an accidental overlap, along the line-of-sight, between a warm dense molecular cloud and the radio continuum of the jet (e.g. NGC 1052 and Mrk 348); those related to prominent sites of star formation, such as the ones observed in M 33 (the earliest known extragalactic H2O masers), and later also in IC 10. Extragalactic H2Omasers are preferentially detected in nearby galaxies that are bright in the infrared ([4]). While nuclear masers are of obvious interest, non- nuclear masers are also important for a number of reasons: these sources allow us to pinpoint sites of massive star formation, to measure the velocity vectors of these regions through VLBI proper motion studies, and to determine true dist
