A. Notes on individual objects

IRAS F01268-5436:
Two galaxies are located within the IRAS FSC 3tex2html_wrap_inline1818 error ellipse. The major X-ray emission is probably associated with the galaxy centered south-east of the IRAS centroid position. IRAS F02562+0610:
Several optical sources in or near IRAS 3tex2html_wrap_inline1818 ellipse, and several optical sources near X-ray emission, thus no unique identification possible. IRAS F04392-2713:
X-ray centroid and NED position for IRAS F04392-2713 agree well, however, the IRAS FSC error ellipse is centered on a nearby galaxy about 1 arcmin west of the NED position, which is probably the source of the infrared emission. IRAS F05136-0012:
Relatively large offset of about 50 arcsec between the X-ray centroid and the infrared position. A PSPC pointed observation on F05136-0012 indicates that the X-ray centroid position and the optical position coincide. Therefore the offset is probably due to an unusually large aspect error of the survey data. IRAS F05340-5804:
The NED IRAS position is taken from the PSC and is inaccurate. The FSC position is associated with an optical galaxy, but this galaxy is not the source of the X-ray emission. IRAS F06059-4928:
The infrared emission is not clearly associated with any particular optical galaxy of the apparent cluster. NED identifies F06059-4928 with one of the galaxies but the X-ray emission is clearly not associated with that object. IRAS F06068-2705:
Condon et al. (1997) find that the IRAS and ROSAT sources are not identical. Most X-ray emission is probably related to the northeastern member of the galaxy pair near the X-ray centroid position which is a Seyfert 1.9 galaxy. IRAS 06269-0543:
Multiple optical counterparts within IR 3tex2html_wrap_inline1818 ellipse. IRAS 08140+7052:
Irregular galaxy Ho II with about 7 arcmin diameter, multi-component X-ray emission. Classification grade 1 is given since all the emission originates inside the galaxy despite the large offset between the IRAS FSC and the X-ray centroid positions. The infrared luminosity may be larger than given by FSC/PSC. IRAS F10214+0644:
Condon et al. (1997) identify the galaxy at optical position tex2html_wrap_inline2216 as the IRAS and VLA source. The ROSAT source is probably associated with the radio-quiet galaxy CGCG 037-022. IRAS 11598-0112:
Two optical counterparts within IRAS PSC 3tex2html_wrap_inline1818 error ellipse. The X-ray emission is not spatially resolved. IRAS F12134+5459:
The IRAS source may be a blend of MCG +09-20-133 and MCG +09-20-134. From the RASS II contour lines we cannot resolve which galaxy is actually the source of the X-ray emission. IRAS F13429+6652:
A nearby optical counterpart to IRAS galaxy could contribute to X-ray emission. The X-ray emission from the two components is not spatially resolved. IRAS 14 072-5205:
The bright optical counterpart near the 3tex2html_wrap_inline1818 IRAS PSC error ellipse may be a star. The IRAS galaxy is not listed in the FSC. IRAS F15195+5050:
Condon et al. (1997) identify the Seyfert 1 CGCG 274-040 NED02 at optical position tex2html_wrap_inline2238 as the probable source of the X-ray emission. The starburst galaxy CGCG 274-040 NED01 is the primary identification of the VLA source. The X-ray emission is clearly identified with a neighboring optical galaxy. Both the VLA and ROSAT galaxies are equally distant to the IRAS source, thus it remains unclear which is the IRAS source. IRAS F17023-0128:
Following Condon et al. (1997) and references for object note on IRAS F17023-0128, the Seyfert 1 galaxy UGC 10683 NOTES02 is the most likely IRAS source. This source is also the main X-ray emitter. IRAS F18011+4246:
The peak X-ray emission appears associated with CGCG 227-016 NED02, however the IRAS galaxy identified by NED as CGCG 227-016 NED01 is within the X-ray positional error also consistent with the peak X-ray emission. The X-ray emission is spatially unresolved from both components. IRAS 18396-3535:
The bright optical counterpart within the 3tex2html_wrap_inline1818 IRAS PSC error ellipse could be a star. The IRAS galaxy is not listed in the FSC.

IRAS 19211-2855:
Multiple optical counterparts within the 3tex2html_wrap_inline1818 IRAS PSC error ellipse. The X-ray emission could arise from a star within the IRAS error ellipse. The IRAS galaxy is not listed in the FSC. IRAS F19462-5843:
The optical galaxy ESO 142- G047 associated with the IRAS source seems not to be related to the X-ray centroid position. There are faint optical counterparts located at the X-ray peak emission. The ROSAT survey data do not allow a unique identification of the IRAS source as X-ray emitter. IRAS F20547-4849:
The optical galaxy NGC 6987 has a relatively large offset to the X-ray centroid position. The ROSAT survey data do not allow a unique identification of the IRAS source as X-ray emitter. IRAS 22146-5955:
The X-ray centroid position is outside the 3tex2html_wrap_inline1818 IRAS PSC error ellipse. There seems no unique association of the strong X-ray emitter with one optical counterpart. IRAS F23251+2318:
The X-ray emission may arise from the faint optical counterpart near the X-ray peak emission.
