III/197 IRAS Low Resolution Spectra (IRAS team, 1987) ================================================================================ IRAS Low Resolution Spectra (LRS) Joint IRAS Science Working Group =1987yCat.3197....0J ================================================================================ ADC_Keywords: Spectra, infrared Mission_Name: IRAS Description: The IRAS survey instrumentation included a low-resolution spectrometer which covered the wavelength range between 8 and 22 um. The spectrometer operated during the entire survey, providing spectra of the brighter point sources. For details about the spectrometer, the reader is referred to the published book, chapter IX. The spectra included in file "lrs.dat" contain 200 points each, 100 points in the 8-13um range, and 100 points in the 11-22um range. There is therefore an overlapping between the longer wavelengths of the first sample and the shorter wavelengths of the second sample. The data points are stored as scaled integer arrays in the file "lrs.dat"; the corresponding values of the wavelengths are available in the file "calib.dat" . The file "lrs.dat" includes also data taken from the IRAS point source catalog .

The leftmost digit indicates the following typical objects (other are unknown): 1x = star, Sp<=M5 ; 2x = star with not too thick O-rich envelopes 3x = star with thick O-rich envelopes 4x = star with C-rich envelopes 6x = star with very thick O-rich envelopes 7x = star with extremely thick O-rich envelopes 8x = compact HII regions and PNe Note (2): the quality indicator is 1 = good ; 2 = moderate ; 3 = barely acceptable Note (3): the value indicates by what fraction of the average signal the baselines on the short and long wavelength sides of the spectrum halves differ. A large baseline asymmetry indicates that a confusing source may have contaminated the spectrum. The baseline asymmetry is usually large near the Galactic plane. Note (4): the integers Blinexx, Noisex, and flux values LRSx must be multiplied by SCALE to get values of flux densities expressed in W.m^-2^.um^-1^. The wavelength array is given in "calib.dat" . Note (5): the IDType states whether an association was found in: 1 = extragalactic catalog ; 2 = stellar catalog ; 3 = other catalogs ; 4 = multiple types of catalogs. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Byte-by-byte Description of file: assoc.dat -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bytes Format Units Label Explanations -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1- 11 A11 --- IRAS IRAS source name 12- 17 I6 --- RecNo Record number of IRAS source in lrs.dat 19- 20 I2 --- CatNum Catalog number (1) 21- 35 A15 --- Source Source identification 36- 40 A5 --- Type Source type or spectral class (1) 41- 43 I3 arcsec Radius Radius vector from IRAS source to association 44- 46 I3 deg Pos Position angle (E of N), IRAS source to object 47- 50 I4 --- Field1 Object data field 1, catalog dependent (1) 51- 54 I4 --- Field2 Object data field 2, catalog dependent (1) 55- 58 I4 --- Field3 Object data field 3, catalog dependent (1) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note (1): Table X.B.4 in the "IRAS Catalogs and Atlases Explanatory: Meaning of the Source Association Fields. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CatNum Field and Meaning ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1 GCVS Type Blank Field1 = Code gives meaning for Fields 2-3 if Field1 = 1 Field2 and Field3 are B mag [decimag] at max,min = 2 Field2 and Field3 are V mag [decimag] at max,min = 3 Field2 and Field3 are photographic mag [decimag] at max,min = 4 Field2 and Field3 are estimated V mag [decimag] at max,min = 5 Field2 is 999 and Field3 is 0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2 Dearborn Type Blank Obs.

The UGC was used to confirm that the coordinate is correct for VV 29 and erroneous for VV 10. The UGC position for VV 10 = UGC 10814 was adopted. 11 The VV position is substantially different (>400") from positions for the object in other catalogs. The VV position has been assumed to be in error because two or more other catalogs agree on a different position. The UGC position has been adopted. 12 Same as for 11, but the OSU position has been adopted. 13 The position in the VV Atlas, and the position listed for the VV object in the OSU are in disagreement. The true position has been established to be close to that of the OSU by the use of overlay transparencies on the POSS. The OSU position has been adopted. 14 Same as for 13, but the OSU position is not very good either, so a new position has been measured (accurate to about 1'). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ================================================================================ (End) Francois Ochsenbein [CDS] 02-Apr-1997
