Ground-based Measurements of Sources in the AFGL Infrared Sky Survey.

Abstract

This report contains ground-based observations of 271 objects detected in the AFGL infrared sky survey, falling between 40 min. and 60 min. of each hour of right ascension and +60 deg and -30 deg of declination. Photometric magnitudes are presented for those sources which could be located from the ground and are compared to those reported by the Air Force. Conclusions are drawn concerning the identification of AFGL sources with IRC sources. A rough classification is made of the catalogue objects within our area of the sky. Limits for completeness of the survey are approximately +1.0 mag at 4 micrometers and -1.0 mag at 11 micrometers. (Author)
