Abstract:
We present the properties of 11um selected sources detected in the
early data of the North Ecliptic Pole Deep (NEP-Deep) Survey of AKARI.
The data set covers 6 wavelength bands from 2.5 to 11um, with exposure
times of 10-20 minutes. This field lies within the CFHT survey with
four filter bands (g', r', i', z'), enabling us to establish nearly
continuous spectral energy distributions (SEDs) for wavelengths
ranging from 0.4 to 11um. The main sample studied here consists of 72
sources whose 11um AB magnitudes are equal to or brighter than 18.5
(144uJy), which is complete to more than 90%. The 11um band has an
advantage of sampling star-forming galaxies with low-to-medium
redshifts, since the prominent PAH feature shifts into this band. As
expected, we find that the majority (71%) of 11um bright sources are
star-forming galaxies at 0.2~<z~<0.7 with LIR∼1010-1012∼L☉
based on detailed modelling of the SEDs. We also find four AGNs lying
at various redshifts in the main sample. In addition, we discuss a few
sources that have non-typical SEDs of the main sample, including a
brown-dwarf candidate, a steep power-law source, a flat-spectrum
object, and an early-type galaxy at moderate redshift.
Description:
The NEP-deep-early survey data was taken during the early phase of the
scientific observations that started in early 2006 May in order to
assess the performance of the IRC instrument.
The passbands covered by this mini-survey were N2, N3, N4, S7, S9W,
and S11 (see Matsuhara et al., 2006PASJ...58..673M 2006PASJ...58..673M) for the detailed
information on the designation of the filters).
