Title: Broad-Band Energy Distribution of Faint IRAS Galaxies
Abstract: The deepest far-infrared survey before ISO exists in the region around the North Ecliptic Pole (NEP). At the NEP Hacking & Houck (1987) combined scans from the IRAS sky survey and pointed observations to select a point-source sample that is up to 100 times fainter than the IRAS sky survey at 12 and 25 µm and 10 times fainter at 60µm. Hacking & Houck suggested some counterparts from POSS plates, and Hacking et al. (1989) measured radio fluxes at 1.5 GHz for a subset of the 60µm sample. However a large part of their survey remains without unambiguous identifications. To aid the identification of counterparts and to derive the broad-band energy distributions of the IR luminous sources, we investigated surveys at longer and shorter wavelengths. We completed the spatial coverage of radio data at 1.5 GHz (Kollgaard et al. 1994) and added observations from an optical/near-IR survey of the NEP carried out by us at Calar Alto (Spain).
