Description:
The AKARI Infrared Astronomical Satellite observed the whole sky in
the far infrared (50-180µm) and the mid-infrared (9 and 18µm)
between May 2006 and August 2007 (Murakami et al. 2007PASJ...59S.369M 2007PASJ...59S.369M)
The AKARI/IRC Point Source Catalogue Version 1.0 provides positions
and fluxes for 870,973 sources observed with the InfraRed Camera
(IRC): 844,649 sources in the S9W filter, and 194,551 sources in the
L18W filter; the "Note (1)" section below provides a summary of the
IRC filter characteristics.
Recommendation:
The users of the catalogue are requested to read the documents
carefully before critical discussions of the data. Any questions and
comments are appreciated at ISAS Helpdesk ()
Please acknowledge the usage of the AKARI data (details at

Note (1): the filter characteristics are:
-------------------------------------------------
Filter: S9W L18W
-------------------------------------------------
Center(um): 9 18
Width(um): 4.10 9.97
Range(um): 6.7-11.6 13.9-25.6
Pixel("): 9.4x9.4 10.4x9.4
Limit(mJy): 50 120 [at 5σ]
-------------------------------------------------
Note (2):
The sources should be referred in the literatures by their full name
(AKARI-IRC-V1) followed by the letter 'J' and the objName, e.g.
AKARI-IRC-V1 J0123498-025805
Note (3): Four-level flux quality indicator:
3 = high quality (source confirmed and flux is reliable)
2 = source is confirmed but the flux is not reliable (see the flags)
1 = the source is not confirmed
0 = not observed
Note (4): Bit flags of data quality in hexadecimal:
1 = not month confirmed.
This means that the period between the first detection and
the last detection is shorter than a month.
2 = saturated (not used this version);
4 = use events affected by the South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA)
(not used in this version),
8 = use edge events
Combined values are represented by the sum, e.g. 9 = 8 + 1 =
not month confirmed AND used edge events.
Note (5): the value 1 means that the source is possibly more extended than
the point spread function (>15.6arcsec)
Note (6): average of major and minor axes of source extent = (a+b)/2
