Abstract:
We present a new sample of distant ultraluminous infrared galaxies.
The sample was selected from a positional cross-correlation of the
IRAS Faint Source Catalog (Cat. II/156) with the FIRST database.
Objects from this set were selected for spectroscopy by virtue of
following the well-known star-forming galaxy correlation between 1.4
GHz and 60 µm flux, and by being optically faint on the POSS.
Optical identification and spectroscopy were obtained for 108 targets
at the Lick Observatory 3 m telescope.

History:
From ApJS electronic version
For FF J0858+3925, the identification to IRAS F08549+3937 was erroneous,
the object was identified to IRAS F08551+3550, in Simbad, and the
corrected in the table on 09-Mar-2001
