Abstract:
   We present a list of objects observed to have extended line emission in our
   spectroscopic survey of infrared-warm AGN. Slit spectroscopic data were 
   obtained for 225 galaxies identified with objects in our compendium of 
   warm sources from the IRAS Point Source Catalog. Of these, 44 have 
   spatially-resolved emission-line regions along the (arbitrarily placed) 
   slit direction. Measured (projected) linear sizes of the ionized gas 
   regions extend to >10kpc. In the case of the IRAS Seyfert galaxies the 
   spatially extended line emission appears to have a lower ionization state 
   than the nuclear emission. This contrasts with the warm IRAS starbust 
   galaxies for which there is no significant difference between the 
   ionization states of the nuclear and extended emission. For the starburst 
   galaxies, there is a relation between the extent of star formation as seen 
   at H{alpha} and the far-IR colors, with more compact bursts having "warmer"
   colors.

Note (1):
  1. Possibly extended. Stated size is uncertain.
  2. IRAS 0032-617SW. This galaxy has a long tidal arm. The line profile along
      the slit has two peaks of emission, but the continuum profile has a
      single maximum. The line-emitting regions are about 4" apart and H II-type
  3. IRAS 0033-819. A ring-shaped galaxy with two brightness enhancements, 11"
      apart, both strong line emitters.
  4. IRAS 0141+020 (Markarian 573). The Seyfert-like emission extends out
      to 3.4" on either side of the nucleus, including relatively strong [O I].
      This emission has been examined by Afanasiev & Sil'chenko (1991) and by
      Tsvetanov & Walsh (1992) from kinematic and ionization standpoints.
  5. IRAS 0146-615. This galaxy has a long tidal arm. Along the slit, two peaks
      of emission are seen, both in line and continuum. The peaks are 8" apart
      and both are H II-type.
  6. IRAS 0225-103 (Markarian 1039). This galaxy hosts two H II-type
      nuclei, 24" apart.
  7. IRAS 0229-368 (IC 1816). The Seyfert-like spectrum extends as far as 3.4"
      east of the nucleus, including relatively strong [O I]. The nuclear
      [O III] lines are spectrally resolved, FWHM=900km/s, whereas the extended
      line-emission is narrower, FWHM<500km/s.
  8. IRAS 0240-002 (NGC 1068). The nuclear emission lines have a FWHM of
      about 1200km/s, whereas the extranuclear emission is unresolved
      spectrally, FWHM<200km/s.
  9. IRAS 0302-729. The nuclear emission lines are spectrally resolved, with
      FWHM=1300km/s, the extended emission lines are unresolved, FWHM<500km/s.
 10. IRAS 0310-515. This galaxy has a long tidal arm. The brightness profile
      along the slit shows two peaks of emission, 7.4" apart. Both have Seyfert
      spectra.
 11. IRAS 1703+606. An interacting pair, with a Seyfert and a starburst
      galaxy 6.5" apart, at almost the same redshift.
 12. IRAS 1855+716. An interacting pair, two starburst galaxies 6.7" apart,
      almost same redshift. The line-emission (especially [O II]3727) forms a
      bridge between them.
 13. IRAS 1908-539. This galaxy has a highly irregular morphology. The emission
      line- and continuum-profiles along the slit show double structure, two
      peaks separated by 20". One has a Seyfert spectrum and the other is
      H II-type.
 14. IRAS 2048-572 (PKS 2048-57). This object has a Seyfert-like spectrum
      extending by at least 4" on either side of the nucleus, including
      relatively strong [O I]. There is a large velocity gradient, the emission
      lines 3" east and west of the nucleus being shifted by 230km/s red- and
      bluewards respectively, relative to the nucleus.
 15. IRAS 2117-492. An interacting pair of starburst galaxies 41" apart,
      at almost the same redshift. The line emission in the eastern galaxy is
      extended by at least 24".
