AKARI/IRC Pointed Observation Images (Phase 1&2)
Overview
Description
The processed images from pointed observations by AKARI/Infrared Camera (IRC) during Phase 1 & 2 . The field of view of IRC is 10 arcmin and the PSF size is ~5 arcseconds in FWHM. Nine photometric filters continuously cover the wavelength range from 1.8 to ~26 μm.
NGC 6946 (OBSID 1400620, Blue:Green:Red=3:7:15 μm),
IC 10 (1700216, 3:7:11),
NGC 104 (1700001, 7:11:15),
and North Ecliptic Region (5121023, 2:4:7).
Each image is 10x10 arcmin^2.
Data list
Software
Pointed Observation Images (Phase 1 & 2) ver 1.0.1 was produced by processing the raw data with AKARI-IRC Imaging Toolkit ver.150331. Each data package includes the dark data used for processing.
AKARI-IRC Imaging Toolkit [ tar.gz (26MB) ]
Major improvements of ver.150331 are
- better calibration of time-dependent dark and MIR-S flat
- better stacking method
- better WCS matching
which inrease the S/N and reliability of output images.
Please read README_20150331.txt included in the package and the Data Users Manual (listed below) before using the toolkit.
