Abstract:We observed an area of 10 deg 2 of the Large Magellanic Cloud using the Infrared Camera (IRC) onboard AKARI. The observations were carried out using five imaging filters (3, 7, 11, 15, and 24 µm) and the prism disperser (2 -5 µm, λ/∆λ ∼ 20) equipped in the IRC. This paper presents an outline of the survey project and also describes very briefly the newly compiled near-to midinfrared point source catalog. The 10 σ limiting magnitudes are 17.9, 13.8, 12.4, 9.9, and 8.6 mag at 3.2, 7, 11, 15 and 24 µm, respecti… Show more
