Abstract:
    The ISOPHOT experiment onboard the ISO satellite generated a complete
    view of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) at 170µm with 1.5arcmin
    resolution. The map is analysed using an automated photometry program
    enabling accurate photometric characterization of the far infrared
    (FIR) emitting regions.

    In this paper, the sources detected at 170µm are compared with
    those obtainable from the IRAS satellite data. For this purpose, the
    12µm, 25µm, 60µm, and 100µm IRAS high resolution
    (HiRes) maps of the SMC are re-examined using the same method. In
    contrast to former studies, this provides an all-band ISO/IRAS source
    catalog which is no longer based on eyeball classification, but relies
    on an algorithm which is capable of automated, repeatable photometry,
    even for irregular sources. In the mid infrared IRAS bands numerous
    bright FIR emitting regions in the SMC are detected and classified:
    73 sources are found at 12µm, 135 at 25µm (most of them with
    F{nu}<1.0Jy). All three FIR bands at 170µm, 100µm, and
    60µm reproduce the overall morphological structure of the SMC
    similarly well, in contrast to the 12µm and 25µm maps which
    only contain a limited number of extended sources and do not trace the
    main body of the SMC. 243 sources are detected in the ISO 170µm
    map, 155 of them with F{nu}>=2.0Jy. Comparable numbers are found for
    the two FIR IRAS maps at 60µm (384) and 100µm (338) with
    fluxes up to 450Jy. 70 of the 243 170µm sources are assigned a
    general SED type (cold , warm , i.e., <30K, >30K) for the first
    time. A comparison with earlier IRAS results suggests that many source
    flux densities in those studies have been under- or overestimated
    because of non-standardized fitting methods. Many sources with flux
    densities up to 40Jy listed in former catalogs cannot be identified
    in our data.

Description:
    For each of the files (tablea, tableb, ... tablef), one of the five
    available IRAS/ISO catalogs (IRAS: 12, 25, 60, 100µm, ISO:
    170µm), was taken "master catalog" and cross-correlated with all
    other catalogs. If the distance between a source of the master catalog
    and a source from one of the other catalogs ("slave catalogs") at a
    different wavelength was found to be less than 90" (correlation
    length), the two sources were considered identical. The tables contain
    the entry numbers of the master catalog (first column) as well as the
    corresponding index numbers of the remaining four slave catalogs (the
    four rightmost columns, ordered by decreasing wavelengths). More than
    one entry in an index number column indicates the presence of two or
    more sources within the corresponding correlation radius of 90".
    Source coordinates, fluxes and uncertainties have been obtained from
    the HIIphot program.

Global notes: Note (G1): More than one entry in an index number column indicates the presence of two sources within the corresponding correlation radius of 90". Note (G2): Classification: C: cold source when the color temperatures (assuming a modified black body with an emissivity of {beta}=2) derived from both, the 170µm/1004mu+m and the 100µm/60µm ratios, are TBB<30K W: warm source when TBB>30K is obtained in both cases (C): denotes sources where a classification as "C" remains uncertain due to missing 60µm and/or 100µm data points. Q: questionable, when the precise shape of the SED cannot be derived due to source confusion. Note (G3): 170µm/100µm ratio: FISO(170/100) = ISO F(170µm)/F(100µm) flux ratio FIRAS(170/100) = IRAS F(170µm)/F(100µm) flux ratio Note (G4): Classification made with the source catalogs given by Schwering & Israel, 1989, Cat. II/181: (C): cold source (W): warm source Note (G5): Identifications: X(HFP2/NNN) = [HFP2000] NNN in Simbad X(SHP2/SMC30) = [SHP2000] SMC 30 in Simbad X(YIT2/NN) = [YIT2000] NN in Simbad MA93 NNNN = [MA93] NNNN in Simbad AM77 NN = [AM77] NN in Simbad BS95 NNN = [BS95] NNN in Simbad FJW97 BHHMM-DDMM = [FJW97] SMC BHHMM-DDMM in Simbad H86 NNN = [H86] NNN in Simbad
