The Revised IRAS-FSC Redshift Catalogue (RIFSCz)

Abstract

We present a Revised IRAS-FSC Redshift Catalogue (RIFSCz) of 60 303 galaxies selected at 60 μm from the IRAS Faint Source Catalog (FSC). This revision merges in data from the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer All-Sky Data Release, the tenth Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release (DR10), the GALEX All-Sky Survey Source Catalog (GASC), the 2MASS Redshift Survey (2MRS) and the Planck Catalogue of Compact Sources (PCCS). The RIFSCz consists of position, ultraviolet (UV), optical, near-, mid- and far-infrared, sub-millimetre (sub-mm) and radio identifications, spectroscopic or photometric redshift, predicted fluxes from 12 to 1380 μm based on the best-fitting infrared template. We provide stellar masses, star formation rates and dust masses derived from the optical and infrared template fits, where possible. 56 per cent of the RIFSCz galaxies have spectroscopic redshifts and a further 26 per cent have photometric redshifts from the template-fitting method. At S60 > 0.36 Jy, the 90 per cent completeness limit, 93 per cent of the RIFSCz sources have spectroscopic or photometric redshifts. An interesting subset is the sources detected by Planck at sub-mm wavelengths. 1200 sources have detections at >5σ and a further 1186 sources have detections at 3-5σ in at least one Planck band.
