Abstract:
We present a new sample of distant ultraluminous infrared galaxies.
The sample was selected from a positional cross-correlation of the
IRAS Faint Source Catalog (Cat. <II/156>) with the FIRST database.
Objects from this set were selected for spectroscopy by virtue of
following the well-known star-forming galaxy correlation between 1.4
GHz and 60 {mu}m flux, and by being optically faint on the POSS.
Optical identification and spectroscopy were obtained for 108 targets
at the Lick Observatory 3 m telescope.

History:
From ApJS electronic version
For FF J0858+3925, the identification to IRAS F08549+3937 was erroneous,
the object was identified to IRAS F08551+3550, in Simbad, and the
corrected in the table on 09-Mar-2001
