Abstract:
We present the source catalog and the properties of the B-, R-, and
I-band images obtained to support the AKARI North Ecliptic Pole Wide
(NEP-Wide) survey. The NEP-Wide is an AKARI infrared imaging survey
of the north ecliptic pole covering a 5.8deg2 area over 2.5-6um
wavelengths. The optical imaging data were obtained at the Maidanak
Observatory in Uzbekistan using the Seoul National University 4kx4k
Camera on the 1.5m telescope. These images cover 4.9deg2 where no
deep optical imaging data are available. Our B-, R-, and I-band data
reach the depths of ∼23.4, ∼23.1, and ∼22.3mag(AB) at 5σ,
respectively. The source catalog contains 96460 objects in the R
band, and the astrometric accuracy is about 0.15" at 1σ in each
RA and DEC direction. These photometric data will be useful for
many studies including identification of optical counterparts of the
infrared sources detected by AKARI, analysis of their spectral energy
distributions from optical through infrared, and the selection of
interesting objects to understand the obscured galaxy evolution.
Description:
The AKARI NEP-Wide field is centered at 18:00:00+66:36:00 covering a
circular area of 5.8deg2. The images were obtained in Bessell B, R,
and I filters from 2007 June 12 to August 5 at the Maidanak
Observatory in Uzbekistan, using the Seoul National University 4kx4k
Camera (SNUCAM) on the 1.5m Richey-Chretien, AZT-22 telescope.
