J. 110 1993 1995 1995AJ....110.1993S VII/113 : Galaxies and QSOs observed in IRAS Survey (IPAC 1989) Galaxies, IR Complete IRAS Observations and redshifts are reported for all sources identified in the IRAS Bright Galaxy Survey - Part II (hereafter referred to as BGS2). Source positions, radial velocities, optical magnitudes, and total flux densities, peak flux densities, and spatial extents at 12, 25, and 100um are reported for 288 sources having 60um flux densities >5.24Jy, the completeness limit of the original Bright Galaxy Survey [Soifer et al. (1989AJ.....98..766S)], hereafter referred to as BGS1. These new data represent the extension of the IRAS Bright Galaxy Survey to southern declinations, Dec<~-30deg, and low Galactic latitudes, 5deg<|b|<=30deg. Although the sky coverage of the BGS2 (~19935deg^2) is 37% larger than the sky coverage of the BGS1, the number of sources is 8% smaller due primarily to large scale structure in the local distribution of galaxies. Otherwise, the sources in the BGS2 show similar relationships between number counts and flux density as observed for the 313 sources in the BGS1. The BGS2 along with the earlier BGS1, represents the best sample currently available for defining the infrared properties of galaxies in the local (z<~0.1) Universe.

IRAS

Name Name The common catalog name has been taken in decreasing priority order from the NGC, UGC, ESO, IC, A, MCG, Zwicky catalog, Zwicky lists, Markarian, Arp-Madore, and IRAS catalogs. In table1b.dat, source IR 19542+1110 (RA=19:54:13.3, DE=+11:10:59) has a tentative identification of Halpha+[NII]; source not listed in NED. --- RAh Right Ascension (1950) All positions (1950) are taken from the PSC Version 2 <II/125> except for those galaxies from Rice et al <VII/109> where the positions were taken from the RC2. h RAm Right Ascension (1950) min RAs Right Ascension (1950) s DE- Sign Declination (1950) --- DEd Declination (1950) deg DEm Declination (1950) arcmin DEs Declination (1950) arcsec cz Heliocentric radial velocity The heliocentric radial velocity (z=Delta(lambda(opt))/Lambda(opt) km/s u_cz Uncertainty flag for cz For those galaxies with no published redshift at the time the current survey was begun (1991), a velocity was measured from optical spectra obtained with either the UH 2.2 m telescope, or the 2.15 m telescope in Argentina. The typical uncertainty in the measured redshifts is +/- 30 km/s. All other redshifts are taken from NED. --- D Distance Either a "primary distance" from Sandage & Tammann <VII/51> catalog or a Fisher-Tully distance taken from either Aaronson et al. <VII/75>, Aaronson & Mould (1983ApJ...265....1A), or Tully & Shaya (1984ApJ...281...31T) (adjusted to a Virgo distance of 17.6 Mpc). For all other sources (those with no entry in D), the distance was calculated from CZ using the "Virgo-centric flow" model of Aaronson et al. (1982ApJ...258...64A) with an adopted distance to Virgo of 17.6 Mpc (corresponding to H0=75km/s/Mpc at large distances). Mpc m "Optical" magnitude The "optical" magnitude, as listed in the "object data" window in NED. For those few sources with more than one identified object within <~ 40" radius of the IRAS position (e.g. multiple "nuclei," close merger pairs), only the magnitude of the brightest object has been given. mag l_S12 S12 limiting character --- S12 Total 12 um IRAS flux density Best estimate for the total IRAS flux density as determined from coadded data using ADDSCAN/SCANPI. For the six sources not detected at 12 um, the reported upper limit is taken to be three times the rms noise of the coadded data. For source ESO 452-G005 (RA=16:28:33.5, DE=-27:59:48), it was impossible to estimate the 100 um flux.
