The far-infrared properties of the CfA galaxy sample. I - The catalogIRAS flux densities are presented for all galaxies in the Center for Astrophysics magnitude-limited sample (mB not greater than 14.5) detected in the IRAS Faint Source Survey (FSS), a total of 1544 galaxies. The detection rate in the FSS is slightly larger than in the PSC for the long-wavelength 60- and 100-micron bands, but improves by a factor of about 3 or more for the short wavelength 12- and 25-micron bands. This optically selected sample consists of galaxies which are, on average, much less IR-active than galaxies in IR-selected samples. It possesses accurate and complete redshift, morphological, and magnitude information, along with observations at other wavelengths.
