The brighter 94 micron sources observed by the far-infrared sky survey experiment.
Abstract
Approximately 9000 deg2 were surveyed in four infrared bands with a rocket-borne Far-Infrared Sky Survey Experiment. The survey covered the galactic plane between 120° and 255° longitude and included the Orion and Taurus molecular clouds. A list of confirmed sources brighter than 1000 Jy at 94 μm plus other objects of interest is presented along with their measured fluxes at 20, 27, and 40 μm. The sources are associated with galactic H II regions, molecular clouds, and cool stars. Their average extended source temperatures range between about 35 and 70K, and their infrared luminosities range between 102 and 105L_sun;.
