COMMENT The Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS) surveyed approximately 96% of
COMMENT the sky in four infrared wavelength bands centered at 12, 25, 60, and   
COMMENT 100 microns.  The IRAS data are presented in catalogs of point sources  
COMMENT and small extended sources (< 8 arcsec) as well as in atlases of low    
COMMENT resolution spectra and sky-brightness images.  The "Cataloged Galaxies  
COMMENT and Quasars Observed in the IRAS Survey", hereafter referred to as the  
COMMENT "Extragalactic Catalog", is the subset of those point source data       
COMMENT pertaining to previously known galaxies and quasars.  It is intended as 
COMMENT a readily accessible compilation of IRAS data for objects appearing in  
COMMENT the most widely-used extragalactic catalogs.                            
COMMENT                                                                         
COMMENT The Extragalactic Catalog contains 11,444 IRAS point sources (IRAS Point
COMMENT Source Catalog, Version 2.0) that can be positionally associated with   
COMMENT cataloged galaxies and quasars, including association information of    
COMMENT point sources with sources from the IRAS Small Scale Structure Catalog.
