Description:
We performed a near-infrared spectroscopic survey toward an area of ~10deg^2^ of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) with the infrared satellite AKARI. Observations were carried out as part of the AKARI Large-area Survey of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LSLMC). The slitless multi-object spectroscopic capability of the AKARI/IRC enabled us to obtain low-resolution (R~20) spectra in 2-5{mu}m for a large number of point sources in the LMC. As a result of the survey, we extracted about 2000 infrared spectra of point sources. The data are organized as a near-infrared spectroscopic catalog. The catalog includes various infrared objects such as young stellar objects (YSOs), asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars, supergiants, and so on. It is shown that 97% of the catalog sources have corresponding photometric data in the wavelength range from 1.2 to 11{mu}m, and 67% of the sources also have photometric data up to 24{mu}m. The catalog allows us to investigate near-infrared spectral features of sources by comparison with their infrared spectral energy distributions. In addition, it is estimated that about 10% of the catalog sources are observed at more than two different epochs. This enables us to study a spectroscopic variability of sources by using the present catalog. Initial results of source classifications for the LSLMC samples are presented. We classified 659 LSLMC spectra based on their near-infrared spectral features by visual inspection. As a result, it is shown that the present catalog includes 7 YSOs, 160 C-rich AGBs, 8 C-rich AGB candidates, 85 O-rich AGBs, 122 blue and yellow supergiants, 150 red super giants, and 128 unclassified sources. Distributions of the classified sources on the color-color and color-magnitude diagrams are discussed in the text. Continuous wavelength coverage and high spectroscopic sensitivity in 2-5{mu}m can only be achieved by space observations. This is an unprecedented large-scale spectroscopic survey toward the LMC in the near-infrared. A large number of near-infrared spectral data provided by the survey possess scientific potential that can be applied to various studies. In this paper, we present the details of the spectroscopic survey and the catalog, and discuss its scientific applications.

Description:
We present a near- to mid-infrared point-source catalog of five photometric bands at 3.2, 7, 11, 15, and 24{mu}m for a 10deg^2^ area of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) obtained with the Infrared Camera on board the AKARI satellite. To cover the survey area the observations were carried out at three separate seasons from 2006 May to June, 2006 October to December, and 2007 March to July. The 10{sigma} limiting magnitudes of the present survey are 17.9, 13.8, 12.4, 9.9, and 8.6mag at 3.2, 7, 11, 15, and 24{mu}m, respectively. The photometric accuracy is estimated to be about 0.1mag at 3.2{mu}m and 0.06-0.07 mag in the other bands. The position accuracy is 0.3" at 3.2, 7, and 11{mu}m and 1.0" at 15 and 24{mu}m. The sensitivities at 3.2, 7, and 24{mu}m are roughly comparable to those of the Spitzer SAGE LMC point-source catalog, while the AKARI catalog provides the data at 11 and 15 {mu}m, covering the mid-infrared spectral range contiguously. Two types of catalog are provided: a Catalog and an Archive. The Archive contains all the detected sources, while the Catalog only includes the sources that have a counterpart in the Spitzer SAGE point-source catalog. The Archive contains about 650,000, 140,000, 97,000, 43,000, and 52,000 sources at 3.2, 7, 11, 15, and 24{mu}m, respectively. Based on the catalog, we discuss the luminosity functions at each band, the color-color diagram, and the color-magnitude diagram using the 3.2, 7, and 11{mu}m band data. Stars without circumstellar envelopes, dusty C-rich and O-rich stars, young stellar objects, and background galaxies are located at distinct regions in the diagrams, suggesting that the present catalog is useful for the classification of objects toward the LMC.

Description:
Knowledge of water in the solar system is important for the understanding of a wide range of evolutionary processes and the thermal history of the solar system. To explore the existence of water in the solar system, it is indispensable to investigate hydrated minerals and/or water ice on asteroids. These water-related materials show absorption features in the 3um band (wavelengths from 2.7 to 3.1um). We conducted a spectroscopic survey of asteroids in the 3um band using the Infrared Camera (IRC) on board the Japanese infrared satellite AKARI. In the warm mission period of AKARI, 147 pointed observations were performed for 66 asteroids in the grism mode for wavelengths from 2.5 to 5um. According to these observations, most C-complex asteroids have clear absorption features (>10% with respect to the continuum) related to hydrated minerals at a peak wavelength of approximately 2.75um, while S-complex asteroids have no significant features in this wavelength range. The present data are released to the public as the Asteroid Catalog using AKARI Spectroscopic Observations (AcuA-spec).

Description:
We present a new catalogue of mid-IR sources using the AKARI NEP-Deep survey. The InfraRed Camera (IRC) onboard AKARI has a comprehensive mid-IR wavelength coverage with 9 photometric bands at 2-24 micron. We designed the catalogue to include most of sources detected in 7, 9, 11, 15, and 18 micron bands, and found 7284 sources in a 0.67 square degree area.

Description:
This is the revised catalogue of the AKARI North Ecliptic Pole Deep survey. The survey was carried out with the InfraRed Camera (IRC) onboard AKARI which has a comprehensive mid-IR wavelength coverage in nine photometric bands at 2-24 micron. For mid-IR source extraction we used a detection image while for near-IR source detection we used optical to near-IR ground-based catalogue which is based on CFHT/MegaCam z', CFHT/WIRCam Ks and Subaru/Scam z' band detection. Here we present an AKARI source with the identification from the ground-based catalogue. For objects with multiple counterparts, all of these were listed in the catalogue with an upper limit for the AKARI flux. The magnitudes are given in the AB system.

Description:
We present the J- and H-band source catalog covering the AKARI North Ecliptic Pole field. Filling the gap between the optical data from other follow-up observations and mid-infrared (MIR) data from AKARI, our near-infrared (NIR) data provides contiguous wavelength coverage from optical to MIR. For the J- and H-band imaging, we used the FLoridA Multi-object Imaging Near-ir Grism Observational Spectrometer on the Kitt Peak National Observatory 2.1m telescope covering a 5.1deg^2^ area down to a 5{sigma} depth of ~21.6mag and ~21.3mag (AB) for the J and H bands with an astrometric accuracy of 0.14" and 0.17" for 1{sigma} in R.A. and decl. directions, respectively. We detected 208020 sources for the J band and 203832 sources for the H band. This NIR data is being used for studies including the analysis of the physical properties of infrared sources such as stellar mass and photometric redshifts, and will be a valuable data set for various future missions.

AKARI NEP Survey sources at 18um

Description:
We present the first galaxy counts at 18{mu}m using the Japanese AKARI satellite's survey at the North Ecliptic Pole (NEP), produced from the images from the NEP-Deep and NEP-Wide surveys covering 0.6 and 5.8deg^2^, respectively. We describe a procedure using a point source filtering algorithm to remove background structure and a minimum variance method for our source extraction and photometry that delivers the optimum signal to noise for our extracted sources, confirming this by comparison with standard photometry methods. The final source counts are complete and reliable over three orders of magnitude in flux density, resulting in sensitivities (80 per cent completeness) of 0.15 and 0.3mJy for the NEP-Deep and NEP-Wide surveys, respectively, a factor of 1.3 deeper than previous catalogues constructed from this field. The differential source counts exhibit a characteristic upturn from Euclidean expectations at around a milliJansky and a corresponding evolutionary bump between 0.2-0.4mJy consistent with previous mid-infrared surveys with ISO and Spitzer at 15 and 24{mu}m. We compare our results with galaxy evolution models confirming the striking divergence from the non-evolving scenario. The models and observations are in broad agreement implying that the source counts are consistent with a strongly evolving population of luminous infrared galaxies at redshifts higher than unity. Integrating our source counts down to the limit of the NEP survey at the 150{mu}Jy level we calculate that AKARI has resolved approximately 55 per cent of the 18{mu}m cosmic infrared background relative to the predictions of contemporary source count models.

Description:
The Westerbork Radio Synthesis Telescope (WSRT) has been used in 2004 to make a deep radio survey of an ~1.7 degree<sup>2</sup> field coinciding with the AKARI north ecliptic pole (NEP) deep field. The WSRT survey consisted of 10 pointings, mosaiced with enough overlap to maintain a similar sensitivity across the central region that reached as low as 21 microJanskies/beam (µJy/beam) at 1.4 GHz. The observations, data reduction and source count analysis are presented in the reference paper, along with a description of the overall scientific objectives. A catalog containing 462 sources detected with a resolution of 17.0 arcsecs by 15.5 arcsecs is presented. The differential source counts calculated from the WSRT data have been compared with those from the shallow VLA-NEP survey of Kollgaard et al. (1994, ApJS, 93, 145), and show a pronounced excess for sources fainter than ~1 mJy, consistent with the presence of a population of star-forming galaxies at sub-mJy flux levels. The AKARI NEP deep field is the focus of a major observing campaign conducted across the entire spectral region. The combination of these data sets, along with the deep nature of the radio observations will allow unique studies of a large range of topics including the redshift evolution of the luminosity function of radio sources, the clustering environment of radio galaxies, the nature of obscured radio-loud active galactic nuclei, and the radio/far-infrared correlation for distant galaxies. This catalog provides the basic data set for a future series of paper dealing with source identifications, morphologies, and the associated properties of the identified radio sources. This table was created by the HEASARC in March 2011 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+A/517/A54">CDS catalog J/A+A/517/A54</a> file table2.dat.

Description:
Using a large collection of near-infrared spectra (2.5-5.4 {mu}m) of Galactic HII regions and HII region-like objects, we perform a systematic investigation of astronomical polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) features. Thirty-six objects were observed using the infrared camera on board the AKARI satellite as a part of a director's time program. In addition to the well known 3.3-3.6 {mu}m features, most spectra show a relatively weak emission feature at 5.22 {mu}m with sufficient signal-to-noise ratios, which we identify as the PAH 5.25 {mu}m band (previously reported).

Title:
Akari North Ecliptic Pole Deep Field Chandra X-Ray Point Source Catalog
Short Name:
AKNEPDFCXO
Date:

Publisher:
NASA/GSFC HEASARC
Description:
This table contains results from the 300-ks Chandra survey in the AKARI North Ecliptic Pole (NEP) deep field. This field has a unique set of 9-band infrared photometry covering 2-24 micron from the AKARI Infrared Camera, including mid-infrared (MIR) bands not covered by Spitzer. The survey is one of the deepest ever achieved at ~15 micron, and is by far the widest among those with similar depths in the MIR. This makes this field unique for the MIR-selection of AGN at z ~1. The authors have designed a source detection procedure, which performs joint Maximum Likelihood PSF fits on all of their 15 mosaicked Chandra pointings covering an area of 0.34 square degrees. The procedure has been highly optimized and tested by simulations. A point source catalog with photometry and Bayesian-based 90%-confidence upper limits in the 0.5-7, 0.5-2, 2-7, 2-4, and 4-7 keV bands has been produced. The catalog contains 457 X-ray sources and the spurious fraction is estimated to be ~1.7%. Sensitivity and 90%-confidence upper flux limits maps in all bands are provided as well. In their study, the authors searched for optical MIR counterparts in the central 0.25 square degrees, where deep Subaru Suprime-Cam multi-band images exist. Among the 377 X-ray sources detected therein, ~80% have optical counterparts and ~60% also have AKARI mid-IR counterparts. The authors cross-matched their X-ray sources with MIR-selected AGN from Hanami et al. (2012, PASJ, 64, 70). Around 30% of all AGN that have MID-IR SEDs purely explainable by AGN activity are strong Compton-thick AGN candidates. The source catalog contained in this table uses an internal threshold of ML = 9.5 which corresponds to ML<sub>empir</sub> ~12 (see Sect. 4.3.3 of the reference paper for more details). In total, 457 sources are detected, of which 377 objects fall in the deep Subaru imaging region (shown in Figure 1 of the reference paper). This catalog is designed to identify X-ray emitting objects in the Chandra/AKARI NEP deep field. Together with the optimized cross-identification procedure, the clear advantage of the catalog is the very high reliability, while the catalog sacrifices completeness for objects with low counts (see Figure 9 in the paper). Only ~1.7% of the objects listed in the source catalog are expected to be spurious source detections. The two sources that have an ML-threshold in the 0.5-7 keV band below 9.5 originate from a 0.5-7 keV single-band source detection run. To quote similar ML values for all objects, the authors list the total 0.5-7 keV ML values from the joint 3-energy band source detection run. The listed counts, count rates, fluxes, and the corresponding uncertainties in the 0.5-7 keV band are taken from the single-band detection run. Considering the uncertainty in the astrometric calibration, all sources should be considered as possible X-ray counterparts that are within a radius of r<sub>match</sub> = sqrt(sigma<sub>total</sub><sup>2</sup>+sigma<sub>astro</sub><sup>2</sup>), with sigma<sub>total</sub> = 5 * sqrt(sigma<sub>sys</sub><sup>2</sup>+sigma<sub>stat</sub><sup>2</sup>) and sigma<sub>sys</sub> = 0.1 arcseconds and sigma<sub>astro</sub> = 0.2 arcseconds (astrometric uncertainty). The authors also created a low-probability source catalog (not contained in this present HEASARC table): they caution that, due to the significant number of spurious sources in the low-probability catalog, it should NOT be used to select X-ray sources or to increase the sample size of X-ray-selected objects. It can be of interest if the scientific goal requires one to EXCLUDE potential X-ray emitting objects from a sample with a high completeness, since, using this strategy, one accepts those objects that are excluded are not associated with an X-ray-emitting object. The low-probability source catalog (available at <a href="http://cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr/ftp/cats/J_MNRAS/446/911/">http://cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr/ftp/cats/J_MNRAS/446/911/</a> as the files lowpscat.dat.gz and lowpscat.fits) has a lower maximum likelihood threshold than the main source catalog (an internal threshold of ML = 5, corresponding to ML<sub>empir</sub> ~9.5). This catalog contains 626 detected sources, of which 506 are located within the deep Subaru imaging region. Based on their simulated data, the authors conclude that 19% of all the low-probability source catalog entries are false detections. Considering only the deep Subaru imaging area the spurious source fraction drops to 15%. When using information from this catalog, please cite the reference paper: Krumpe et al. (2015, MNRAS, 446, 911). This table was created by the HEASARC in August 2015 based on CDS table J/MNRAS/446/911 files mainscat.dat, the main source catalog. Some of the values for the name parameter in the HEASARC's implementation of this table were corrected in April 2018. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
