J/A+AS/113/51       Catalogue of associations IRAS and S stars     (Chen+, 1995)

Description:
    Cross identifications between the General Catalogue of Galactic S
    Stars (GCGSS), the IRAS Point Source Catalogue (PSC), and the Guide
    Star Catalogue (GSC) are presented. The purpose of the present
    catalogue is i) to provide a clean sample of S stars with far-IR data,
    and ii) to provide accurate GSC positions for S stars, superseding
    those listed in the GCGSS. The IRAS colour-colour diagram and the
    galactic distribution of S stars associated with an IRAS source are
    presented. Several S stars having extended images in at least one IRAS
    band have also been identified.
