2056 II/56 100-Micron Survey of the Galactic Plane W F Hoffmann C L Frederick R J Emery Astrophys. J. 170, L89 ??? ??? 1971 1971ApJ...170L..89H Photometry, infrared Surveys Galactic plane Infrared sources The catalog represents a survey of a portion of the galactic plane at a wavelength of 100 micrometers with a balloon-borne, stabilized, 12-inch infrared telescope having a sensitivity of 10(-22) W/m2/Hz. The survey covers 750 square degrees of the sky, including most of the galactic plane between galactic longitudes of 335 and 88 degrees, plus a number of other selected areas of interest. Seventy-two sources have been detected, 60 of which are identified with continuum radio sources, bright nebulae, dark nebulae, and infrared stars. The catalog includes right ascension and declination (B1950.0), galactic coordinates, 100-micrometer peak flux densities, sizes of sources, and identifications.
