Scientific paper

The colors of IRAS galaxies are discussed on the basis of a sample of 369 galaxies detected by IRAS at all four bands. These galaxies are classified into four groups, i.e., normal, starburst, AGN, and mixed, in the color-color diagram of F25/F sub 12 and F60/F sub 25. The IRAS of most of these galaxies could be well fitted using a simple model of two black bodies. IRAS colors of galaxies are found to be correlative with their morphological type. Spiral galaxies have smaller F25/F sub 12 and larger F100/F sub 60.
