The Byurakan-IRAS Galaxy (BIG) sample (1967 galaxies) is based on optical identifications of IRAS PSC sources at δ>+61° and |b| >15° (FBS area). A redshift survey for brighter objects (B<18m) is being carried out with the Byurakan Observatory 2.6m, Special Observatory 6m, and Observatoire de Haute-Provence 1.93m telescopes. 213 objects have been observed, and redshifts in the range 0.008-0.173 have been measured. For this subsample, 15% of the objects are AGNs, and 15% are LIGs and ULIGs.
