Near-infrared and Mid-infrared Spectroscopy with the Infrared Camera (IRC) for AKARI
Youichi Ohyama, Takashi Onaka, Hideo Matsuhara +22
The Infrared Camera (IRC) is one of the two instruments on board the AKARI satellite. In addition to deep imaging from 1.8-26.5um for the pointed observation mode of the AKARI, it…
Optical Identification of 15 Micron Sources in the AKARI Performance Verification Field toward the North Ecliptic Pole
Hideo Matsuhara, Takehiko Wada, Chris P. Pearson +28
We present the results of optical identifications for 257 mid-infrared sources detected with a deep 15um survey over approximately 80 arcmin^2 area in the AKARI performance verific…
The Infrared Camera (IRC) deep survey in the performance verification phase
Takehiko Wada, Shinki Oyabu, Yoshifusa Ita +17
We report the first results of a near- and mid- infrared deep survey with the Infrared Camera (IRC) onboard AKARI in the performance verification phase. Simultaneous observations b…
AKARI infrared imaging of reflection nebulae IC4954 and IC4955
Daisuke Ishihara, Takashi Onaka, Hidehiro Kaneda +26
We present the observations of the reflection nebulae IC4954 and IC4955 region with the Infrared Camera (IRC) and the Far-Infrared Surveyor (FIS) on board the infrared astronomical…
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…
Detection of an H-alpha Emission Line on a Quasar, RX J1759.4+6638, at z=4.3 with AKARI
Shinki Oyabu, Takehiko Wada, Youichi Ohyama +18
We report the detection of an H-alpha emission line in the low resolution spectrum of a quasar, RX J1759.4+6638, at a redshift of 4.3 with the InfraRed Camera (IRC) onboard the AKA…
