- Title:
- IRAS Asteroid and Comet Survey
- Short Name:
- VII/91
- Date:
- 21 Oct 2021
- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- The main purpose of the Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS) was to survey the sky in four infrared wavelength bands centered at 12, 25, 60 and 100 um. Data for 25 comets, 1811 known asteroids and ~TBD asteroids without orbits were obtained and accepted into this IRAS asteroid and comet catalog, which is the largest, least biased and most uniform survey of asteroids and comets. For the IRAS Asteroid Survey, 7,015 sightings from 1,811 individual asteroids that were of sufficient quality have been accepted into the asteroid catalog. Diameters, albedos and various technical parameters have been derived for these minor planet. The IRAS comet catalog contains the detection history for each comet reliably detected in the ADAS search. Positions were searched for all periodic comets that passed near the sun or earth during the period from 1982 to 1985 plus all comets that were observed during that period.

- Title:
- IRAS catalogue of Point Sources, Version 2.0
- Short Name:
- II/125
- Date:
- 21 Oct 2021
- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- This is a catalog of some 250,000 well-confirmed infrared point sources observed by the Infrared Astronomical Satellite, i.e., sources with angular extents less than approximately 0.5, 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 arcmin in the in-scan direction at 12, 25, 60, and 100 microns, respectively. Positions, flux densities, uncertainties, associations with known astronomical objects and various cautionary flags are given for each object. While two other complementary data sets - the Working Survey Data Base and a file of rejected sources - give information about point-like sources, the information available in the Point Source Catalog should satisfy almost all users. Away from confused regions of the sky, the survey is complete to about 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, and 1.0 Jy at 12, 25, 60, and 100 microns. Typical position uncertainties are about 2 to 6 arcseconds in-scan and about 8 to 16 arcseconds cross-scan. The processing steps applied to detect and confirm point sources, and the positional and photometric error analyses are described in the IRAS Catalogs and Atlases Explanatory Supplement; the catalog format is described in Chapter X. The sources appear in order of increasing (1950.0) right ascension. The included script "tofits.sh" should generate the FITS version of the tables on Unix platforms.

- Title:
- IRAS Faint Source Catalog, |b| > 10, Version 2.0
- Short Name:
- II/156A
- Date:
- 21 Oct 2021
- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- The Faint Source Survey (FSS) is the definitive Infrared Astronomical Satellite data set for faint point sources. The FSS was produced by point-source filtering the individual detector data streams and then coadding those data streams using a trimmed-average algorithm. The resulting images, or plates, give the best estimate from the IRAS survey data of the point source flux density at every surveyed point of the sky. The Faint Source Catalog (FSC) is a compilation of the sources extracted from the FSS plates that have met reasonable reliability requirements. Averaged over the whole catalog, the FSC is at least 98.5% reliable at 12 and 25 microns, and ~94% at 60 microns. For comparison, the IRAS Point Source Catalog (PSC) is >99.997% reliable, but the sensitivity of the FSC exceeds that of the PSC by about a factor of 2.5. The FSC contains data for 173,044 point sources in unconfused regions with flux densities typically above 0.2 Jy at 12, 25, and 60 microns, and above 1.0 Jy at 100 microns. The FSS plates are somewhat more sensitive but less reliable than the FSC; typically, only sources with SNR>5-6 in the plates are contained in the FSC. Sources with SNR>3 but which do not meet the reliability requirements of the FSC are catalogued in the Faint Source Reject File (FSR, Cat. II/275). The data products, the processing methods used to produce them, results of an analysis of these products, and cautionary notes are given in the Explanatory Supplement to the IRAS Faint Source Survey (see references in fsc.txt).

For comparison, the IRAS Point Source Catalog (PSC) is >99.997% reliable, but the sensitivity of the FSC exceeds that of the PSC by about a factor of 2.5. This increase in sensitivity results from the co-adding of the three separate hours-confirming (HCON) passes over the sky which were used for confirmation and not added together for the Point Source Catalog. The FSC also contains 99,973 infrared sources which are not in the PSC. The FSC contains data for 173,044 point sources in unconfused regions with flux densities typically above 0.2 Jy at 12, 25, and 60 microns, and above 1.0 Jy at 100 microns. The FSS plates are somewhat more sensitive but less reliable than the FSC; typically, only sources with SNR > 5 - 6 in the plates are contained in the FSC. The data products, the processing methods used to produce them, results of an analysis of these products, and cautionary notes are given in the Explanatory Supplement to the IRAS Faint Source Survey. This database table contains the IRAS Faint Source Catalog (FSC) (Version 2.0, released in September 1990) non-associations data. The associations data for the IRAS FSC is contained in the file <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/II/156A/assoc.dat.gz">https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/II/156A/assoc.dat.gz</a> The FSC is limited in galactic latitude to the unconfused regions of sky in which the absolute value of BII is greater than or equal to 10 degrees at 12 and 25 microns and greater than or equal to 20 degrees at 60 microns. Because of the presence of the infrared "cirrus" at 100 microns, the FSC does not contain sources detected ONLY at 100 microns. Sources with a 100 micron detection were included in the catalog if they were bandmerged with high reliability detections at other spectral bands. For the faintest sources, the reliability exceeds 90% at 12 and 25 microns, and 80% at 60 microns. The HEASARC recreated this database table in August 2005, based on the CDS table, in an effort to modernize its parameter names and documentation, as well as to add Galactic coordinates.

- Title:
- IRAS Faint Source Reject Catalog
- Short Name:
- II/275
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- The Faint Source Reject Catalog contains 593,516 sources rejected for inclusion in the Faint Source Catalog (Cat. II/156) because they failed to meet one or more of the criteria established to ensure the reliability of the FSC. The REJECTED sources in the FSR are either in confused regions of the sky, or in areas with |b|<10-20{deg}, or were detected only in a single band with a signal-to-noise ratio of 3-6. The FSR also includes sources from areas of the sky covered by fewer than six detector passes, and sources contaminated by or caused by cometary debris trails. The files described here contain selected columns from the original Faint Source Reject IRAS catalogue; the full set is available as a ascii FITS table. In the descriptions below, the original names of the columns are added at the end of the explanations of each column.

- Title:
- IRAS Low Resolution Spectra
- Short Name:
- III/197
- Date:
- 21 Oct 2021
- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- The IRAS survey instrumentation included a low-resolution spectrometer which covered the wavelength range between 8 and 22 um. The spectrometer operated during the entire survey, providing spectra of the brighter point sources. For details about the spectrometer, the reader is referred to the published book, chapter IX. The spectra included in file "lrs.dat" contain 200 points each, 100 points in the 8-13um range, and 100 points in the 11-22um range. There is therefore an overlapping between the longer wavelengths of the first sample and the shorter wavelengths of the second sample. The data points are stored as scaled integer arrays in the file "lrs.dat"; the corresponding values of the wavelengths are available in the file "calib.dat" . The file "lrs.dat" includes also data taken from the IRAS point source catalog <II/125>.

- Title:
- IRAS Minor Planet Survey (IMPS)
- Short Name:
- II/190
- Date:
- 21 Oct 2021
- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- The IRAS Minor Planet Survey (1992) supplements the asteroid data given in the IRAS Asteroid and Comet Survey (1986; catalog <VII/91>); comets are not included in IMPS. All asteroids with reasonably well-known orbits as of December 1990 are covered. In particular, IMPS updates the processing of asteroids numbered 1 through 3318 and extends this processing to asteroid number 4679 plus 2,632 asteroids with preliminary (two or more opposition) orbits. IMPS processed only IRAS survey observations; Low Resolution Spectrometer, Serendipitous, and Additional Observations data were not processed.

- Title:
- IRAS Point Source Catalog Redshift (PSCz) Catalog
- Short Name:
- IRASPSCZ
- Date:
- 07 Mar 2025
- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- The IRAS Point Source Catalog Redshift (PSCz) Survey consists of redshifts, infrared and optical photometry, and assorted other information for 18351 IRAS sources, mostly selected from the Point Source Catalog. The survey was designed to select almost all galaxies with flux brighter than 0.595 Jy at 60 microns (µm), over the 84% of the sky with extinction small enough that reliable and complete optical identification and spectroscopy was possible. Some of the sources are not galaxies and some are multiple entries for the same galaxy as described in the reference paper. There are in total 15,411 galaxies or possible galaxies, for which redshifts are available for 14,677. The galaxies without redshift are mostly distant or at low latitude, as described in the paper. Many of these galaxies have now been observed as part of the BTP project (Saunders et al 1999, astro-ph/9909174 "The Behind the Plane Survey"), and their redshifts were to be included in future revisions of this catalog. The full catalog for the PSCz Catalog contains more than 120 parameters and is available at the CDS in the directory <a href="http://cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr/ftp/cats/VII/221/">http://cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr/ftp/cats/VII/221/</a> as the files pscz.dat (18,351 sources in the main catalog) and psczcg.dat (60 additional sources close to the coverage gap). There is also a 'short' version of the catalog, psczvs.dat and psczcgvs.dat, containing 19 parameters, sufficient information for most studies. They correspond to the version 2.2. Many fields are taken directly from the IRAS Point Source Catalogue (CDS Cat. II/125). See the IRAS Explanatory Supplement (Beichman et al., 1988, NASAR, 1190, 1) for more information. If there are problems that cannot be resolved by careful reading of these notes or the accompanying paper, please contact Will Saunders <will@roe.ac.uk> or Will Sutherland <W.Sutherland1@physics.ox.ac.uk>. This table was created by the HEASARC in February 2014 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/VII/221">CDS Catalog VII/221</a> files psczvs.dat (the 'Main' sample) and psczcgvs.dat (the 'Near-gap' sample), comprising the 'Short' version of the PSCz Catalog.
