We have coadded the IRAS data on a sample of 188 multiple-nucleus and morphologically peculiar Markarian galaxies noted as “interacting” in the compilation of Mazzarella and Balzano (1986). We have increased the number of objects in this sample with 60μm and 100μm IRAS detections by a factor of two from what is available in the Point Source Catalog, allowing the determination of far-infrared (FIR) luminosities and colors for over 130 morphologically peculiar Markarian galaxies. The galaxies in this sample have diameters less than 2′, and thus were seen as point sources by IRAS. All far-infrared properties discussed here apply to the entire multiple-nucleus or peculiar system. These data provide a unique opportunity to study the far-infrared properties of mergers which have prior indications of starburst or Seyfert activity as evidenced by their ultraviolet excess.
