IRAS Point Source Catalog v2.1 (PSC)

The Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS) was a joint project of the US, UK and the Netherlands. The IRAS mission performed an unbiased, sensitive all sky survey at 12, 25, 60 and 100 microns. The Point Source Catalog includes 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 micron, respectively. Positions, flux densities, uncertainties, associations with known astronomical objects and various cautionary flags are given for each object. 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 micron. Typical position uncertainties are about 2" to 6" in-scan and about 8" to 16" cross-scan.
