Description:
    The Catalog of Infrared Observations and its associated data base
    comprise a summary of infrared astronomical observations published in
    the scientific literature from 1965 through 1992 in the wavelength
    range 1 micrometer - 1 mm. The database contains infrared
    observational data for sources outside the Solar System, constructed
    through a search of the most active scientific journals, IR surveys
    and catalogs. To date, about 5100 journal articles and 10 major survey
    catalogs have been included in the data base, which contains more than
    256000 individual observations of about 11500 different infrared
    sources. More than 8000 of these sources are identifiable with visible
    objects. The bibliographical files link observations in the catalog
    with the original articles published in the literature. References
    give the standard information plus full titles. The Index of Infrared
    Source Positions is ordered alphabetically by source name and can be
    used to quickly locate sources in the position-ordered catalog. For
    sources with no published IR source position, a nominal position may
    have been given based on other sources. Nominal positions are usually
    the best available, but not necessarily the true IR positions. Nominal
    position references are indicated in the index.
