We present the discovery of a source with broadband infrared photometric characteristics similar to Sakurai's object. WISE J180956.27-330500.2 (hereafter J1810-3305) shows very red WISE colors, but a very blue 2MASS [K] versus WISE [W1 (3.4 mu m)]...

The AKARI All-Sky Catalogues are an important infrared astronomical database for next-generation astronomy that take over the IRAS catalog. We have developed an online service, AKARI Catalogue Archive Server (AKARI-CAS), for astronomers. The servi...
Context. Low-to intermediate-mass stars lose a significant fraction of their mass while they are on the asymptotic giant branch (AGB). This mass loss is considered to determine the final stages of their evolution. The material ejected from the ste...
WHY GALAXIES CARE ABOUT AGB STARS II: SHINING EXAMPLES AND COMMON INHABITANTS 445 627-+ 2011年 [査読有り]
We have observed the carbon-rich AGB star U Hya in the far-infrared (FIR) at 65, 90, 140, and 160 mu m simultaneously, using the slow-scan observing mode of the Far-Infrared Surveyor (FIS) aboard the Japanese infrared astronomical satellite AKARI....
We combine data from two all-sky surveys in order to study the connection between the infrared and hard X-ray (>10keV) properties for local active galactic nuclei (AGNs). The Swift Burst Alert Telescope all-sky survey provides an unbiased, flux-li...
