This data set is a catalog on magnetic tapes identifying 245,839 confirmed infrared sources and, for each, giving position, infrared flux density, angular positional association with previously cataloged astronomical sources, and miscellaneous information such as uncertainties and data quality flags. The sources are smaller than 0.5 - 1.0 arc-min depending on wavelength. The covered wavelength bands are 12, 25, 60, and 100 micrometers. The catalog is ordered by source right ascension. The catalog is contained on character-coded tape, but it is divided into two files of 12-h right ascension increments if 1600-bpi tapes are requested. For more information on this data set, see "IRAS Catalogs and Atlases Explanatory Supplement," edited by C. Beichman et al., 1985. Detailed information on the data base is available by contacting IPAC, 100-22, Caltech, Pasadena, CA 91125.
