Abstract • A catalog of Markarian galaxies is presented which tabulates redshifts, spectral and morphological classifications, magnitudes, infrared and radio flux densities, and over 600 references to available data published before January 1, 1986. Redshifts are now available for 1228 objects with strong ultraviolet continua, and follow-up spectroscopic and photometric observations of Markarian galaxies have provided classifications of 115 Seyfert 1, 43 Seyfert 2, and 137 starburst and H II-type galaxies. After a description of the Markarian survey and the current catalog, a summary of the general results obtained from the data is presented. A preliminary study of the infrared properties of Markarian galaxies as measured by IRAS reveals a number of interesting results, including the existence of a sample of elliptical and lenticular galaxies with appreciable infrared emission.
