Scientific paper

The IRAS point source 10479 - 2808 is a quasar with BJ = 16 and z = 0.190. It has M(B) = 23.5 and L(IR) = 10 to the 12th solar luminosities (H0 = 75 km/s Mpc and q0 = 0.5). It is not in the Parkes and Molonglo radio catalogs. At the resolution of the UK and ESO Schmidt telescopes it appears to be star-like, with no sign of surrounding fuzz or interactions; it is probably optically variable. IRAS 10479 - 2808 seems to be typical of the IRAS-selected quasars. It is suggested that they are not special compared with other quasars, and are mainly indicating the incompleteness of bright-quasar surveys.
