Abstract

Galaxies: photometry Infrared: galaxies ISM: structure Space vehicles
We present spatially resolved observations of IRAS sources from the Japanese infrared astronomy satellite AKARI All-Sky Survey during the performance verification phase of the mission. We extracted reliable point sources matched with the IRAS point source catalogue. By comparing IRAS and AKARI fluxes, we found that the flux measurements of some IRAS sources could have been over or underestimated, and affected by the local background, rather than the global background. We also found possible candidates for new AKARI sources and confirmed that AKARI observations resolved IRAS sources into multiple sources. All-Sky Survey observations are expected to verify the accuracies of IRAS flux measurements and to find new extragalactic point sources. © 2007. Astronomical Society of Japan.
