The AFGL Four Color Infrared Sky Survey: Catalog of Observations at 4. 2, 11.0, 19.8 and 27.4 micrometers

Abstract

The results of a multicolor infrared survey conducted by the Air Force Geophysics Laboratory are reported. Observations, in one or more broad band colors at effective wavelengths of 4.2, 11.0, 19.8, and 27.4 micrometers are presented with positions for 2363 sources. Ninety percent of the celestial sphere has been surveyed at 11.0 micrometers and about two thirds of this area was covered more than once.
