IRAS Serendipitous Survey Catalog

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

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.

Description

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.
