AKARI N60

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

The AKARI (formerly Astro-F) mission is a Japanese second generation all-sky infrared survey mission.

Description

SkyView currently includes surveys from the four bands of the FIS instrument: N60, WIDE-S, WIDE-L and N160. <p> These surveys cover 99% of the sky in four photometric bands centred at 65μm, 90μm, 140μm, and 160μm, with spatial resolutions ranging from 1-1.5'. <p> These data provide crucial information on the investigation and characterisation of the proper- ties of dusty material in the interstellar medium (ISM), since a significant portion of its energy is emitted between ∼50 and 200 μm.

The large-scale distribution of interstellar clouds, their thermal dust temperatures, and their column densities can be investigated with the improved spatial resolution compared to earlier all-sky survey observations. In addition to the point source distribution, the large-scale distribution of ISM cirrus emis- sion, and its filamentary structure, are well traced. <p> Data are obtained using using the <a href="jvo.nao.ac.jp/index-e.html">JVO</a> AKARI Simple Image Access Service.
