Abstract

In the course of its short existence the IRAS database has already proved an incredibly powerful tool for studying the classification of sources -both galactic and extragalactic- in a new and very exciting way. For the first time it is now possible to employ selection criteria based purely on the infrared properties of a complete (to very low intensities) and unbiassed infrared sample - thereby eliminating the selection biases which have critically limited any such previous classifications.
