Title: Atlas and catalogue of infrared sources in the Magellanic Clouds

Book ·
OSTI ID:6425578

This book provides a list of infrared sources detected by the Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS) in the Magellanic Clouds, as well as a set of detailed maps, completely covering the clouds in all four wavelength bands. The inclusion of nearly 100 maps with perpendicular scan directions allows determination of source extent and structure with the maximum available resolution. Identification of catalogue sources on the maps is facilitated by 15 overlays, containing coordinate grids, source positions, and the positions of the field stars. In addition, cross-identification tables provide reference of optical objects to infrared sources.
