Abstract:
    This paper presents the results of spectral observations for the
    largest complete sample of very luminous IRAS galaxies obtained to
    date. The sample consists of those 73 objects for which
    log(LIR/Lsun)>=11.5 (H0=50 km/s/Mpc, q0=0.5) and mag<=15.5, and
    was extracted from the 2Jy IRAS redshift catalog (Cat. II/174). All
    spectra were obtained using 2.16m telescope of Beijing Astronomical
    Observatory during the years 1994-1996. A total of 123 galaxy spectra
    were obtained with spectral ranges of 4400A to 7100A and 3500A to
    8100A at resolutions of 11.2A and 9.3A respectively. In addition to
    the 73 spectra for sample galaxies, we also present spectra for ten
    non-sample galaxies and a further 40 for the companions of sample
    galaxies. The data presented include nuclear spectrum and the
    parameters describing the emission lines, absorption lines and
    continua as well as DSS images and environmental parameters.
