Sanders, J. M. Mazzarella, D. C. Kim, J. A. Sura, d B. T. Soif (2003), The IRAS revised bright galaxy sample, The Astronomical Journal, 126:1607-1664. Description: Infrared emissions and other characteristics of objects beyond our galaxy. We have included some additional data not mentioned in the book, just for fun. Variable labels: RAh = hour of right ascension RAm = minute of right ascension RAs = second of right ascension DEd = degree of declination DEm = arcminute of declination DEs = arcsecond of declination GLON = galactic longitude GLAT = galactic latitude F12 = total 12 micron band flux density F25 = total 25 micron band flux density F60 = total 60 micron band flux density F100 = total 100 micron band flux density CZ = heliocentric radial velocity D = estimated source distance
