Title:
IRAS Faint Source Catalog
Short Name:
IRAS-FSC

NASA/IPAC Infrared Science Archive
Description:
The Faint Source Survey (FSS) is the definitive IRAS 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 greater than 0.2 Jy at 12, 25, and 60 microns and greater than 1.0 Jy at 100 microns.

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).
933. IRAS Faint Source Reject Catalog

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.
934. IRAS Point Source Catalog
ID:

Title:
IRAS Point Source Catalog
Short Name:
IRAS-PSC
Date:
01 Oct 2018 20:27:21
Publisher:
NASA/IPAC Infrared Science Archive
Description:
This is a catalog of 245,889 well-confirmed point sources, i.e., sources with angular extents less than approximately 0.5', 0.5', 1.0', and 2.0' in the in-scan direction at 12, 25, 60, and 100 µm, 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 Database and the Point Source Reject Catalog - 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 µm (cf. Faint Source Catalog). Typical position uncertainties are about 2" to 6" in-scan and about 8" to 16" cross-scan. The processing steps applied to detect and confirm point sources, and the positional and photometric error analyses are described in the Explanatory Supplement. The sources appear in order of increasing (1950.0) right ascension.

Title:
IRAS Point Source Reject Catalog
Short Name:
II/274
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
This is a catalog of 372,774 potential infrared point sources that failed one or more of the confirmation and confusion criteria and were not, thus, included in the IRAS Point Source Catalog (Cat. II/125). These REJECTED sources include spurious objects (e.g., processing failures, space debris, asteroids and comets) and celestial sources that, due to incompleteness at faint levels or to variability, failed to achieve the minimum criterion of two hours-confirmed sightings. In regions of high source density the catalog includes sources rejected by the more severe criteria for reliability applied there.

936. IRAS PSC/FSC Combined Catalogue

Title:
IRAS PSC/FSC Combined Catalogue
Short Name:
II/338
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
Optical identifications of a few thousands of IRAS sources showed that IRAS Point Source and IRAS Faint Source catalogues (PSC and FSC, respectively) contain many quasars and active galactic nuclei, late-type stars, planetary nebulae, variables, etc. To increase the efficiency of using IRAS PSC and FSC, which contain a lot of common sources, one needs a joint catalogue of all IRAS point sources with improved data based on both catalogues. However, cross-correlation of the catalogues is not so easy, as the association of many sources is relative, and not always it is obvious, whose source from one catalogue corresponds to the other one in the second catalogue. This problem exists in case of using standard cross-correlation tools. Therefore, we have created a tool for cross-matching astronomical catalogues and we have applied it to IRAS PSC and FSC. Using this tool we have carried out identifications with a search radius corresponding to 3-{sigma} of errors for each source individually rather than a standard radius for all sources. As a result, we obtained 73,770 associations. In addition, we have made cross-correlations with AKARI-IRC, AKARI-FIS and WISE catalogues. We created a catalogue of 345,163 IRAS sources with high positional accuracy and with 17 photometric measurements from 1.25 to 160 ?m range, providing a detailed catalogue for IRAS point sources.
937. IRAS Serendipitous Survey Catalog

Title:
IRAS Serendipitous Survey Catalog
Short Name:
II/126
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
This is a catalog of 12, 25, 60 and 100 micron photometric observations of 43,866 point-like sources detected fortuitiously in the Infrared Astronomical Satellite Pointed Observation program. The main objective was to take advantage of the longer-than-nominal integration time per source to extend the detection threshold relative to that of the Point Source Catalog (PSC); about three-fourths of the Serendipitous Survey Catalog (SSC) sources do not appear in the PSC. From 1813 Pointed Observation fields, the effective sky coverage is 1108 square degrees. Relative to the PSC, the SSC is characterized by: enhanced sensitivity (by a factor of about 4) in all four wavelength bands; excellent reliability in uncrowded fields; uneven sky coverage and completeness; reduced positional accuracy; improved photometric accuracy; much greater depth in crowded fields at the expense of reliability and accuracy. The SSC data processing, the catalog format, and an analysis are given in the Explanatory Supplement to the IRAS Serendipitous Survey Catalog.

Title:
IRAS Sky Survey Atlas: 12 micron
Short Name:
IRAS
Date:

Publisher:
NASA/GSFC HEASARC
Description:
The IRAS data include all data distributed as part of the IRAS Sky Survey Atlas. Data from the four IRAS bands are shown as individual surveys in SkyView. Users should be aware that IPAC does not encourage the use of data near the ecliptic plane as they feel that contribution from local cirrus emission is significant. <p> The data are distributed in sets of 430 maps. Each map covers approximately 12.5x12.5 degrees, and the map centers are offset by 5 degrees so that there is a 2.5 degree overlap. IPAC has processed to a uniform standard so that excellent mosaics of the maps can be made. Users should be cautious of data in saturated regions. Known problems in the analysis mean that data values are unlikely to be correct. Note that IPAC has optimized the processing of these data for features of 5' or more although the resolution of the data is closer to the 1.5' pixel size. <p> There are occasional pixels in the IRAS maps which are given as NULL values. Unless these are explicitly trapped by user software, these data will appear as large negative values. SkyView ignores these pixels when determining the color scale to display an image. <p> Essentially the entire sky is covered by the survey. However there are a few regions not surveyed and the data values in these regions are suspect. These are given to users as delivered from IPAC. Provenance: NASA IPAC/Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

Title:
IR dust bubbles. II. YSOs model parameters
Short Name:
J/ApJ/694/546
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present an analysis of late-O/early-B-powered, parsec-sized bubbles and associated star formation using Two Micron All Sky Survey, GLIMPSE, MIPSGAL, and MAGPIS surveys. Three bubbles were selected from the Churchwell et al. catalog (2007, Cat. J/ApJ/670/428). We confirm that the structure identified in Watson et al. (2008ApJ...681.1341W) holds in less energetic bubbles, i.e., a photodissociated region, identified by 8um emission due to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons surrounding hot dust, identified by 24um emission and ionized gas, and identified by 20cm continuum. We estimate the dynamical age of two bubbles by comparing bubble sizes to numerical models of Hosokawa and Inutsuka. We also identify and analyze candidate young stellar objects using spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting and identify sites of possible triggered star formation. Lastly, we identify likely ionizing sources for two sources based on SED fitting.
940. IR luminosities and aromatic features of 5MUSES
ID:

Title:
IR luminosities and aromatic features of 5MUSES
Short Name:
J/ApJ/723/895
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We study a 24um selected sample of 330 galaxies observed with the infrared spectrograph for the 5mJy Unbiased Spitzer Extragalactic Survey (5MUSES). We estimate accurate total infrared luminosities by combining mid-IR spectroscopy and mid-to-far infrared photometry, and by utilizing new empirical spectral templates from Spitzer data. The infrared luminosities of this sample range mostly from 10^9^L_{sun}_ to 10^13.5^L_{sun}_, with 83% in the range 10^10^L_{sun}_<L_IR_<10^12^L_{sun}_. The redshifts range from 0.008 to 4.27, with a median of 0.144. The equivalent widths of the 6.2um aromatic feature have a bimodal distribution, probably related to selection effects. We use the 6.2um polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon equivalent width (PAH EW) to classify our objects as starburst (SB)-dominated (44%), SB-AGN composite (22%), and active galactic nucleus (AGN)-dominated (34%). The high EW objects (SB-dominated) tend to have steeper mid-IR to far-IR spectral slopes and lower LIR and redshifts.
