Morphology and dynamics of Venus's middle clouds with Akatsuki/IR1
J. Peralta, N. Iwagami, Sánchez-Lavega +8
The Venusian atmosphere is covered by clouds with super-rotating winds whose accelerating mechanism is still not well understood. The fastest winds, occurring at the cloud tops ($\…
A Balloon-Borne Very Long Baseline Interferometry Experiment in the Stratosphere: Systems Design and Developments
Akihiro Doi, Yusuke Kono, Kimihiro Kimura +33
The balloon-borne very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) experiment is a technical feasibility study for performing radio interferometry in the stratosphere. The flight model has…
The Far-Infrared Surveyor (FIS) for AKARI
Mitsunobu Kawada, Hajime Baba, Peter D. Barthel +57
The Far-Infrared Surveyor (FIS) is one of two focal plane instruments on the AKARI satellite. FIS has four photometric bands at 65, 90, 140, and 160 um, and uses two kinds of array…
Flight Performance of the AKARI Cryogenic System
Takao Nakagawa, Keigo Enya, Masayuki Hirabayashi +11
We describe the flight performance of the cryogenic system of the infrared astronomical satellite AKARI, which was successfully launched on 2006 February 21 (UT). AKARI carries a 6…
The Infrared Astronomical Mission AKARI
H. Murakami, H. Baba, P. Barthel +90
AKARI, the first Japanese satellite dedicated to infrared astronomy, was launched on 2006 February 21, and started observations in May of the same year. AKARI has a 68.5 cm cooled…
Wide-Area Mapping of 155 Micron Continuum Emission from the Orion Molecular Cloud Complex
S. Arimura, H. Shibai, T. Teshima +9
We present the results of a wide-area mapping of the far-infrared continuum emission toward the Orion complex by using a Japanese balloon-borne telescope. The 155-um continuum emis…
