Abstract

A total of 2298 IR H II regions in the IRAS Point Source Catalog are identified to a confidence level of 77 percent. A latitude-longitude plot shows that most of these regions lie in the region + or - 3 degrees of the galactic plane. A set of 949 IRAS sources are shown to be planetary nebulae to a 79 percent confidence level. These sources are found within 10 degrees of the plane. Seven of the objects studied are observed with VLA as a test of the analysis.

hii_iras.xyz with row of X, Y, Z values.

hii_iras has the same format as iras point catalog.

This catalog of 2293 ***probable*** HII region from IRAS PSC (v1.0).

Criteria are from Hughes & McLeod (1989). of HII regions in IRAS catalog:

flux-quality numbers >= 1,2,2,1 at 12,25,60,100 mum

S(100mum) >= 50 Jy for FQ=2 or 3

S(100mum) >= 150 Jy for FQ=1

Y = log(S25/S12) >= 0.0

Y = log(S60/S25) >= 0.0

Z = log(S100/S60) >= 0.2

-10 <= b <= +10

confusion flags (hex) <=1 ( flag_c = 0, 1, 2, 4, 8 )
