Abstract:
We present high-resolution 12, 25, 60, and 100µm images of 106
interacting galaxy systems contained in the IRAS Revised Bright Galaxy
Sample (RBGS, Sanders et al., Cat. J/AJ/126/1607), a complete sample
of all galaxies having a 60µm flux density greater than 5.24Jy.
These systems were selected to have at least two distinguishable
galaxies separated by less than three average galactic diameters, and
thus we have excluded very widely separated systems and very advanced
mergers. Additionally, some systems have been included that are more
than three galactic diameters apart, yet have separations less than 4
and are thus likely to suffer from confusion in the RBGS. The new
complete survey has the same properties as the prototype survey of
Surace et al., 1993AJ....105..864S 1993AJ....105..864S.

Note (1): Names are given in order of preference from the NGC, UGC,
Catalog of Galaxies and Clusters of Galaxies (CGCG), Morphological
Catalogue of Galaxies (MCG), Markarian (Mrk), and 2MASS catalogs.
Relevant cross-id's are also given. The given names are those
associated with a specific coordinate as given by the RC3, NED, or the
Arp atlas. The Arp name associated with a given galaxy group is listed
with the first (westernmost) object, but no special significance is
indicated by this.
Note (2): The given coordinates are those of the centroid of the infrared
emission in cases where there was a separated infrared detection.
Otherwise, the optical position from NED is listed. In almost all
cases these coordinates originate from the RC3, Cat. VII/155,
although currently NED lists values from the Two Micron All Sky Survey
(2MASS, Cat. II/246). If NED listed no coordinates, then the
coordinates are those measured directly from the DSS. Equinox B1950
coordinates were chosen because this is the epoch of the positional
calibration for the IRAS Level 1 Archive scans used to construct the
HIRES images.
Note (3): Position type as follows:
O = position is an optical center;
I = new infrared center derived from the HIRES images.
Note (4): In all cases where these are listed they are spectroscopic
redshifts from a variety of sources as given by NED. Uncertainties are
typically 10-100km/s.
Note (5): As given by NED. In most cases this is the blue magnitude listed
in the RC3, Cat. VII/155.
Note (6): In cases where the targets were also given by Surace et al.
(1993AJ....105..864S 1993AJ....105..864S), the objects were remeasured in order to ensure
uniformity of calibration with the rest of the survey (see Section
2.3). In some cases the galaxies were still unresolved at all
wavelengths. In this case only the global flux, as measured from the
HIRES data, is given. In cases where one or more components remained
unresolved, but some components were resolved, the brightest
unresolved component in the resolved waveband gives the flux of all
the components, and subsequent unresolved components are NULL. Upper
limits are the flux measured at the known optical location of the
galaxy in an aperture that has the same size as the effective IRAS beam.
Note (7): Flag on fluxes as follows:
1 = bad scan;
2 = flux lies between galaxies;
3 = dense cluster;
4 = resolved using component fitting;
5 = resolved using component fitting except NGC 7319/7320.
Note (8): In units of solar luminosities. This is the luminosity from
40-122 microns of Helou et al. (1988ApJS...68..151H 1988ApJS...68..151H). H0=75km/s/Mpc
is assumed.
