Scientific paper

We present the results of the large area survey observations of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) with the AKARI infrared satellite. In addition to the all-sky survey observations at 9, 18, 65, 90, 140, and 160 μm, about a 12 deg^2 region of the LMC has been observed in pointed observations with the Infrared Camera (IRC) on board AKARI at 3, 7, 11, 15, and 24 μm bands. Together with these imaging observations, 2--5 μm low-resolution slit-less spectroscopy was also carried out for the same area. These data, particularly the 11 and 15 μm imaging and near-infrared spectral data, complement the Spitzer SAGE observations and provide significant information to the various fields of the LMC research. The near-infrared spectroscopic survey is demonstrated to be very efficient in the study of the nature of detected sources. We present an overview of the AKARI LMC observations together with some early results.
