Abstract:
Far-infrared line and continuum fluxes are presented for a sample of
227 galaxies observed with the Long Wavelength Spectrometer on the
Infrared Space Observatory (ISO, Kessler et al., 1996A&A...315L..27K 1996A&A...315L..27K).
The galaxy sample includes normal star-forming systems, starbursts,
and active galactic nuclei covering a wide range of colors and
morphologies. The data set spans some 1300 line fluxes, 600 line upper
limits, and 800 continuum fluxes. Several fine-structure emission
lines are detected that arise in either photodissociation or HII
regions: [OIII] 52um, [NIII] 57um, [OI] 63um, [OIII] 88um, [NII]
122um, [OI] 145um, and [CII] 158um. Molecular lines such as OH at 53,
79, 84, 119, and 163um, and H2O at 58, 66, 75, 101, and 108um are
also detected in some galaxies. In addition to those lines emitted by
the target galaxies, serendipitous detections of Milky Way [CII] 158um
and an unidentified line near 74um in NGC 1068 are also reported.
Finally, continuum fluxes at 52, 57, 63, 88, 122, 145, 158, and 170um
are derived for a subset of galaxies in which the far-infrared
emission is contained within the ∼75" ISO LWS beam. The statistics of
this large database of continuum and line fluxes, including trends in
line ratios with the far-infrared color and infrared-to-optical ratio,
are explored.

Note (1): It has the form RRRSSSOO where RRR=revolution number,
SSS=sequence number within the revolution, and OO=observation number
within an observer's proposal (See ISO Obs. log, Cat. VI/111)
Note (2): Observation considered an extended source in this paper. May
require an extended source correction.
Note (3): Instrument:
L01 = medium-resolution (R∼200) spectrum covering the full LWS range
(43-197microns);
L02 = medium-resolution line spectrum, producing an incomplete spectrum
over the LWS range.
