Description:
The Faint Source Survey (FSS) is the definitive Infrared Astronomical
Satellite data set for faint point sources. The FSS was produced by
point-source filtering the individual detector data streams and then
coadding those data streams using a trimmed-average algorithm. The
resulting images, or plates, give the best estimate from the IRAS
survey data of the point source flux density at every surveyed point
of the sky. The Faint Source Catalog (FSC) is a compilation of the
sources extracted from the FSS plates that have met reasonable
reliability requirements. Averaged over the whole catalog, the FSC is
at least 98.5% reliable at 12 and 25 microns, and 94% at 60 microns.
For comparison, the IRAS Point Source Catalog (PSC) is >99.997%
reliable, but the sensitivity of the FSC exceeds that of the PSC by
about a factor of 2.5. The FSC contains data for 173,044 point sources
in unconfused regions with flux densities typically above 0.2 Jy at
12, 25, and 60 microns, and above 1.0 Jy at 100 microns. The FSS
plates are somewhat more sensitive but less reliable than the FSC;
typically, only sources with SNR>5-6 in the plates are contained in
the FSC. Sources with SNR>3 but which do not meet the reliability
requirements of the FSC are catalogued in the Faint Source Reject File
(FSR, Cat. II/275). The data products, the processing methods used to
produce them, results of an analysis of these products, and cautionary
notes are given in the Explanatory Supplement to the IRAS Faint Source
Survey (see references in fsc.txt).
