The Infrared Astronomical Mission AKARI

TL;DR: AKARI as discussed by the authors, the first Japanese satellite dedicated to infrared astronomy, was launched on 2006 February 21, and started observations in May of the same year, and has a 68.5 cm cooled telescope, together with two focal-plane instruments, which survey the sky in six wavelength bands from the mid- to far-infrared.
Journal ArticleDOI

ASTRO-F, super-IRAS, the All-Sky Infrared Survey

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed the next-generation Japanese infrared space mission, ASTRO-F, which will conduct the first survey of the entire sky at infrared wavelengths since the IRAS mission almost 20 years ago.
Journal ArticleDOI

AKARI infrared imaging of reflection nebulae IC4954 and IC4955

TL;DR: In this article, the observations of the reflection nebulae IC4954 and IC4955 regions with the Infrared Camera (IRC) and the Far-Infrared Surveyor (FIS) on board the infrared astronomical satellite AKARI during its performance verification phase were presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

ASTRO-F - Super IRAS - The All Sky Infra-Red Survey

TL;DR: The next generation Japanese infrared space mission, ASTRO-F, is scheduled to survey the entire sky in 4 far infrared bands from 50-200microns and 2 mid-infrared bands at 9 and 20microns to sensitivities of 10-1000 times deeper than the IRAS satellite.
