BIG (Byurakan, IR Galaxy)
Write:<<BIG NNNa>>
N: ?
Object:G  (SIMBAD class: Galaxy)
Note:FBS IRAS galaxies.
Stars and galaxies are simultaneously included in the four first refs, and a general numbering was made.
See [M97c], BIS.
2000Ap.....43..309M:
"179 IR sources were identified with extragalactic objects in the first refs, the numbering continues from the number 180. The galaxies published earlier will be designated BIG 1 to 179 in the order of publication".
