IRAS17526+3253 is an OHM galaxy whose northwestern (NW) and southeastern (SE) nuclei have a projected separation of 8.5 kpc. We found that the NW nuclei show two compact components and indicated that there might be a radio AGN, or existing radio variability in this compact component. Because there is no OH maser line flux or spectrum was published and Arecibo and VLA were unable to confirm the detection due to strong RFI, we propose 11 hrs@L-band and 8 hrs@C-band observations for both continuum and line study, the main aims : 1 present the line profile and the combined channel maps, and make it clear which nuclei the maser emission comes from and the possible connections between the OH maser clouds and the continuum emission. 2 The nature of continuum emission of both the NW and SE nuclei: (a) whether a radio AGN with possible jet-like feature or diffuse continuum emission similar to other starburst galaxy or both of the phenomenon exist in the two nuclei? (b) if the components in NW nuclei show a transit emission, e.g. TDEs as shown in other OHM galaxies or newly starburst or interplay of the two components.
