Scientific paper

The authors present the first results of a program to identify new active galactic nuclei from the IRAS pointed observations (AOs), using their far-infrared flux distributions as pointers to objects with a high probability of being active galaxies. These data show that as many as 60% of candidates selected in this way are in fact active nuclei, including both broad- and narrow-line objects. Their redshift distribution is consistent with expectations based on a similar search of the IRAS Point-Source Catalog and the fainter flux limits of the AO data.
