IRAS Small Scale Structure Catalog

The primary mission of the Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS) was to conduct a sensitive and unbiased survey of the sky in four wavelength bands at 12, 25, 60, and 100 μm. Launched in January 1983, IRAS ceased operations in November 1983 after having successfully surveyed 96% of the sky. The IRAS mission, the data processing, and the products are described in detail in the Explanatory Supplement to the IRAS Catalogs and Atlases (Vol. I of this series), with which the reader is assumed to be familiar.
References to chapters and sections in the Supplement are given here prefixed with Suppl., e.g., Suppl. I.A.
