The AKARI Asteroid Flux Catalog contains photometric data of 5201 asteroids observed with the Infrared Camera (IRC) on board the Japanese infrared astronomical satellite AKARI. The catalog objects comprise the near-Earth asteroids, the main belt asteroids, the Cybeles, the Hildas, and the Jovian Trojan asteroids. The observations were performed by the all-sky survey in 9 or 18 micron bands as well as the slow-scan observations in 9 or 18 micron bands, and the pointed observations in 4, 7, 11, 15, and/or 24 micron bands.
The AKARI Far-infrared All-Sky Survey Maps is produced with the participation of people from the following institutes: University of Tokyo, ISAS/JAXA, Tohoku University, and University of Tsukuba.
The image data in this release are produced based on the AKARI All-Sky Survey with 4 far-infrared bands at N60 (65 um), WIDE-S (90 um), WIDE-L (140 um), and N160 (160 um).
A catalogue of mid-infrared slit-less spectra (5.5-12.5 ?m) extracted from the AKARI/IRC MIR-S spectroscopic observation data. All 886 MIR-S spectroscopic data obtained in Phases 1&2 are analyzed, and 862 spectra of 604 individual sources that are little contaminated by nearby sources are catalogued. We also present a 9 ?m point source catalogue generated as a by-product. The point source catalogue contains 42,387 sources brighter than 0.3 mJy.

AKARI/IRC NIR Low-resolution Spectral Catalogue of Diffuse Sky Patches
Short Name:
AKARI_IRC_SPEC_DSP

JVO
Description:
This catalog contains the 278 low-resolution (R~20) near-infrared (1.8-5.3 micron) spectra of diffuse sky covering a wide range of galactic and ecliptic latitudes with the Infrared Camera (IRC) onboard AKARI before the exhaustion of liquid-helium (from September 2006 to May 2007). Advanced reduction methods specialized for the slit spectroscopy of diffuse sky spectra are developed for constructing this spectral catalog.
AKARI/IRC NIR Spectral Atlas of Galactic Planetary Nebulae
Short Name:
AKARI_IRC_SPEC_GALPN
Date:

Publisher:
JVO
Description:
This catalog contains near-infrared (2.5--5.0 micron) low-resolution (R ~ 100) spectra of 72 Galactic Planetary Nebulae (PNe), obtained with the InfraRed Camera (IRC) onboard the AKARI satellite in the post-helium phase. The objects were treated as almost point sources for the IRC. Grism spectroscopy was carried out in the 1-arcmin window. The near-infrared spectra were obtained in a slit-less mode without any flux loss due to a slit. The spectra show emission features including hydrogen recombination lines, helium recombination lines, the 3.3--3.5 micron hydrocarbon features, [MgIV] at 4.49 micron, and [ArVI] at 4.53 micron. This catalog also contains the intensity and equivalent width of these emission features measured by spectral fitting. The source list (source.dat) summarizes observations. As ancillary data, the magnitudes in the V- and Ks-band, the extinction at V-band toward the objects, and the effective temperature collected from literature are listed in another table (misc.dat). The intensities and the equivalent widths of the emission features are tabulated in different tables (intens.dat and equivw.dat). Each object is identified by the PNG ID (PNG) or an observation ID (Obs-ID). One-dimensional near-infrared spectra are stored in a directory (spc/). Each spectrum is identified by the observation ID.
Akari is Japan's first dedicated infrared astronomical satellite (and the
second infrared space mission following IRTS) launched on February 22, 2006.
Akari's primary mission is to carry out the all-sky survey with the best
sensitivity, spatial resolution and the widest wavelengths. The AKARI/FIS Bright
Source Catalogue Version 1.0 provides the positions and fluxes of 427,071 point
sources in the four far-infrared wavelengths centred at 65, 90, 140, and 160 um.
The sensitivity in the 90 um band is about 0.55 Jy. The AKARI/IRC Point Source
Catalogue Version 1.0 provides positions and fluxes of 870,973 sources (844,649
sources in 9um band and 194,551 sources in 18um band) in the Mid-Infrared
wavelengths.
Bisei Space Guard Center (BSGC) is an optical telescope facility in Japan, operated by JAXA. It tracks near-Earth asteroids and space debris.
DARTS provides data observed by a 25 cm telescope from 2000 to 2002 and data observed by a 1 m telescope from 2007 to 2017.
