To identify systems with disks resolvable by MIPS, a list of infrared excess stars with well-determined distances was compiled from the Backman & Paresce lists and published ISO results. Using each object's distance and luminosity, the angular size of the 40 K emission region (the temperature of a blackbody whose peak emission falls in the MIPS 70 mm band) was calculated. The list was ranked from the largest to smallest potential angular sizes, and cut off at a disk radius of 10" (corresponding to two pixels in the MIPS 70 mm super-resolution mode). This list consists of 16 sources, mostly A stars due to their greater luminosity. This program will obtain imaging data on the stars not already included in other programs. For each source, the intention is to obtain imaging photometry in the 24 mm and 160 mm MIPS bands, plus 70 mm super-resolution images and SED mode. An observing strategy in common with the MIPS volume limited survey program will be used. These sources are also being observed spectroscopically in a separate but coordinated program by the IRS team.
