AKARI-HSC Band-Merged Catalog in the North Ecliptic Pole Wide Field

It has been targeted many times since it was surveyed by the AKARI space telescope with its unique wavelength coverage from the near- to mid-infrared (mid-IR). Many follow-up observations have been carried out, making this field one of the most frequently observed areas with a variety of facilities, accumulating abundant panchromatic data from the X-ray to the radio wavelength range.

Recently, a deep optical survey with the Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) at the Subaru telescope covered the NEP-Wide (NEPW) field, which enabled Kim et al. (2021) to identify faint sources in the near- and mid-IR bands, and to improve the photometric redshift (photo-z) estimation. The AKARI-HSC Band-Merged Catalog in the NEPW Field contains multiband photometry for 91,861 AKARI sources observed over the NEPW field. It combines various photometric data from the GALEX UV to submillimetre (sub-mm) bands (e.g. Herschel/SPIRE, JCMT/SCUBA-2).
