Abstract:
    We present the results of IRAS observations of the UCM (Universidad
    Complutense de Madrid) sample of emission-line galaxies, which have
    been selected from wide-dispersion H{alpha} objective-prism plates.
    These data are intended to provide a convenient summary of the
    relevant far-infrared (FIR) properties of these galaxies. Color-color
    diagrams, as interpreted by theoretical models, suggest that emission
    from UCM galaxies is mainly due to dust heated directly by photons
    emitted in active star-forming regions. Statistical analysis of some
    samples, including the IRAS minisurvey and blue selected
    objective-prism samples, have been performed. Comparisons, based on
    FIR luminosity distributions, with the IRAS minisurvey make evident
    the lower metallicity of the UCM galaxies which cannot be considered
    as a parent population of IRAS-detected galaxies. The FIR luminosity
    distributions of different samples have been compared using
    nonparametric methods and the best correlation has been found for the
    UCM and Wasilewski samples. Finally, a more detailed analysis of a UCM
    subsample has been performed from a three component model in order to
    get information concerning the fractional contribution of disk, star
    formation activity, and nonthermal mechanisms operating in the UCM
    galaxies.
