List of AKARI Catalogs

The AKARI Infrared Astronomical Satellite observed the whole sky in the far-infrared (50-180 microns or um) and the mid-infrared (9 and 18 um) between May 2006 and August 2007 (Murakami et al. 2007PASJ...59S.369M) in six infrared bands between 9 um and 180 um.

The AKARI/FIS All-Sky Survey Bright Source Catalogue, Version 1.0 provides positions and fluxes for 427,071 point sources observed with the Far Infrared Surveyor (FIS) instrument in the 4 far-infrared wavelengths centered at 65, 90, 140 and 160 um; the table below provides a summary of the FIS filter characteristics:
