Description:
The Infrared Source Cross-Index is a listing of correlated
infrared source names (and positions) for astronomical objects
observed at 1-1000 microns. The source names have been obtained
from the data base of the first edition of the Catalog of Infrared
Observations (NASA RP 1118), covering observations published
through 1982. Additional identifications were located by
correlating these names with identifications contained in other
machine-readable astronomical catalogs in the NASA National Space
Science Data Center. This cross index contains some 80,000
different source names for over 27,000 unique infrared sources.
The catalog contains the 1950 position for each object as well as
designations from the following catalogs: IRAS, Two-Micron Sky
Survey, Air Force Geophysical Laboratory, The Henry Draper, a
Durchmusterung, the Bright Star Catalog, the Boss General Catalog,
the Dearborn Observatory, and the Smithsonian Astrophysical
Observatory.

Note on name:
Object name as given in the Catalog of Infrared Observations.
For object IDs derived from constellation names, the constellation
name abbreviation is given in this field.
Note on RAs:
Precision depends on original catalog precision.
Note on n_ALIAS:
If a decimal point ". n appears in this byte, then the object can
also be found listed in the OBJECT NAME under the following name.
Note on IRAS:
Cross-identifications with the IRAS catalogs are given in this field.
Entries without a prefix are from the Point Source Catalog.
Names with a leading "X" are from the IRAS Small Scale Structure
Catalog.
Note on n_IRC:
If a decimal point "." appears in this byte, then the object can also
be found listed in the OBJECT NAME under the following ID.
This note applies to all flags that follow unless specified otherwise.
Note on AFGL:
An identification with the Air Force Geophysics Laboratory Survey
(AFGL) is given in this field. An "S" appears in column 85 if the
ID is from the AFGL Supplement series.
Note on HD:
An identification with the Henry Draper (HD) catalog is given in this
field. An "E" appears in column 88 if the ID is from the HD Extension.
Note on DM:
An identification with one of the Durchmusterung catalogs is given in
this field. The catalogs identified are:
Bonner Durchmusterung (BD)
Cordoba Durchmusterung (CCD)
Cape Photographic Durchmusterung (CP)
