Follow-Up Observations Toward Planck Cold Clumps with Ground-Based Radio Telescopes
Kim, Kee-Tae; Lee, Jeong-Eun; Li, Di +26 more
The physical and chemical properties of prestellar cores, especially massive ones, are still far from being well understood due to the lack of a large sample. The low dust temperature ($<$14 K) of Planck cold clumps makes them promising candidates for prestellar objects or for sources at the very initial stages of protostellar collapse. We have…
Quantifying Dark Gas
Heiles, Carl; Li, Di; Xu, Duo +2 more
A growing body of evidence has been supporting the existence of so-called "dark molecular gas" (DMG), which is invisible in the most common tracer of molecular gas, i.e., CO rotational emission. DMG is believed to be the main gas component of the intermediate extinction region between A$\rm_v$$\sim$0.05-2, roughly corresponding to the self-shieldi…

Akari Far-Infrared All-Sky Survey Maps
Nakagawa, Takao; Doi, Yasuo; Takita, Satoshi +13 more
Far-infrared observations provide crucial data for the investigation and characterisation of the properties of dusty material in the Interstellar Medium (ISM), since most of its energy is emitted between ~100 and 200 um. We present the first all-sky image from a sensitive all-sky survey using the Japanese AKARI satellite, in the wavelength range 5…

a Multi-Wavelength View of Galaxy Evolution with Akari
White, G. J.; Serjeant, S.; Smith, M. W. L. +2 more
AKARI's all-sky survey resolves the far-infrared emission in many thousands of nearby galaxies, providing essential local benchmarks against which the evolution of high-redshift populations can be measured. This review presents some recent results in the resolved galaxy populations, covering some well-known nearby targets, as well as samples from …
The Akari Deep Field South: a New Home for Multiwavelength Extragalactic Astronomy
Clements, David L.
The importance of multiwavelength astronomical surveys is discussed in the context of galaxy evolution. The AKARI Deep Field South (ADF-S) is a new, well placed survey field that is already the subject of studies at a wide range of wavelengths. A number of ADF-S observational programmes are discussed and the prospects for the ADF-S as a future res…
