Warm IRAS sources. I. AGN candidates

We have previously shown that a blue (warm) 60 to 25{mu}m infrared colour provides a powerful parameter for discriminating between AGNs and normal galaxies and that the far-IR spectrum is therefore an efficient tool for finding new AGNs (de Grijp et al., 1985Natur.314..140D) Here we present a list of such AGN candidates based on warm IR sources from the IRAS Point Source Catalogue (PSC, Cat. II/125). Identification data and finding charts are also given.

In addition the list of warm IRAS sources is supplemented by a compendium of data from the IRAS PSC on detected sources identified with previously known AGNs whose infrared spectra do not bring them within our colour selection criterion
