The ISOPHOT Serendipity Sky Survey strip-scanning measurements
covering ≈
of the far-infrared (FIR) sky at
were searched for compact sources associated
with optically identified galaxies. Compact Serendipity Survey
sources with a high signal-to-noise ratio in at least two ISOPHOT C200
detector pixels were selected that have a positional association
with a galaxy identification in the NED and/or Simbad databases and a
galaxy counterpart visible on the Digitized Sky Survey plates. A
catalog with fluxes for more than 1900
galaxies has been established, 200 of which were measured several
times. The faintest fluxes reach values just
below 0.5 Jy, while the brightest, already somewhat extended galaxies
have fluxes up to ≈600 Jy. For the vast majority of
listed galaxies, the fluxes were measured for
the first time. While most of the galaxies are spirals, about 70 of
the sources are classified as ellipticals or lenticulars. This is the
only currently available large-scale galaxy catalog containing a
sufficient number of sources with fluxes to
allow further statistical studies of various FIR properties.
