Scientific paper

AKARI is the first Japanese astronomical infrared satellite mission orbiting around the Earth in a sun-synchronous polar orbit at the altitude of 700 km. One of the major observation programs of the AKARI is an all-sky survey in the mid- to far-infrared spectral regions with 6 photometric bands. The mid-infrared part of the AKARI All-Sky Survey was carried out with the Infrared Camera (IRC) at the 9 and 18 μm bands with the sensitivity of about 50 and 120 mJy (5σ per scan), respectively. The spatial resolution is about 9.''4 at both bands. The 9 μm band probes the UIR bands effectively, whereas the 18 μm band traces the thermal emission from warm dust grains. We present an overview of the mid-infrared all-sky survey and report some initial results to demonstrate its great potential in the study of star-forming regions in our Galaxy.
