Equatorial Infrared Catalogue, Number 1,

Abstract

This catalogue provides a list of infrared sources, detected at wavelength 2.7 micrometer. Confidence is achieved by multiple observations of each listed source and by careful computer processing of the satellite observational data. Every source has been observed on two or more days or at times on the same day, at least 20 min apart. Generally, observed positions are precessed to a common year and averaged whenever two or more measurements are within 45 arc sec of one another. The resulting number of apparent infrared positions exceeds 5000. The halfwidths of 45 arc sec for positional averaging is rather large in order to simplify the data processing logic. (Author)
