The Cosmic Wheel and the Legacy of the AKARI archive: from galaxies and stars to planets and life
Abstract
From its launch in 2006, until 2011, AKARI made all-sky surveys in six bands from 9-160 microns together with nearly 20,000 pointed observations, which provide near- to far-infrared imaging and spectroscopic data of great significance across astronomy, from planetary systems to distant galaxies. The aim of this conference is twofold; first to highlight the most important AKARI contributions to our understanding of astronomical processes; and second to expose the astronomical community to the potential of the AKARI legacy, so that the AKARI archive can be fully exploited in the following decades.
