We aim to reveal environmental dependence of infrared luminosity functions (IR LFs) of galaxies at z~0.8 using the AKARI satellite. We construct restframe 8um IR LFs in the cluster region RXJ1716.4+6708 at z=0.81, and compare them with a blank field using the AKARI North Ecliptic Pole deep field data at the same redshift. AKARIs wide field of view (10x10) is suitable to investigate wide range of galaxy environments. AKARIs 15um filter is advantageous here since it directly probes restframe 8um at z~0.8, without relying on a large extrapolation based on a SED fit, which was the largest uncertainty in previous work. We have found that cluster IR LFs at restframe 8um have a factor of 2.4 smaller L^* and a steeper faint-end slope than that of the field. Confirming this trend, we also found that faint-end slopes of the cluster LFs becomes flatter and flatter with decreasing local galaxy density. These changes in LFs cannot be explained by a simple infall of field galaxy population into a cluster. Physics that can preferentially suppress IR luminous galaxies in high density regions is required to explain the observed results.

Dust-obscured star-formation becomes much more important with increasing intensity, and increasing redshift. We aim to reveal cosmic star-formation history obscured by dust using deep infrared observation with the AKARI. We construct restframe 8um,
12um, and total infrared (TIR) luminosity functions (LFs) at 0.15<z<2.2 using 4128 infrared sources in the AKARI NEP-Deep field. A continuous filter coverage in the mid-IR wavelength (2.4, 3.2, 4.1, 7, 9, 11, 15, 18, and 24um) by the AKARI satellite allows us to estimate restframe 8um and 12um luminosities without using a large extrapolation based on a SED fit, which was the largest uncertainty in previous work. We have found that all 8um (0.38<z<2.2), 12um (0.15<z<1.16), and TIR LFs (0.2<z<1.6), show a continuous and strong evolution toward higher redshift. In terms of cosmic infrared luminosity density (Omega_IR), which was obtained by integrating analytic fits to the LFs, we found a good agreement with previous work at z<1.2, and that the Omega_IR evolves as propto (1+z)^4.4+-1.0. When we separate contributions to Omega_IR by LIRGs and ULIRGs, we found more IR luminous sources are increasingly more important at higher redshift. We found that the ULIRG (LIRG) contribution increases by a factor of 10 (1.8) from z=0.35 to z=1.4.
By cross-correlating AKARI infrared (IR) sources with the SDSS galaxies, we identified 2357 infrared galaxies with a spectroscopic redshift. This is not just one of the largest samples of local IR galaxies, but AKARI provides crucial FIR bands (9, 18
, 65, 90, 140, and 160um) in accurately measuring galaxy SED across the peak of the dust emission at ~100um. By fitting modern IR SED models to the AKARI photometry, we measured the total infrared luminosity (L_IR) of individual galaxies more accurately. Using this L_IR, we constructed luminosity functions of infrared galaxies at a median redshift of z=0.031, with 4 times larger sample than previous work. The LF agrees well with that at z=0.0082 (RBGS), showing smooth and continuous evolution toward higher redshift LFs measured in the AKARI NEP deep field. The derived local cosmic IR luminosity density is Omega_IR=3.8x10^8 LsunMpc^-3. We separate galaxies into AGN, star-forming, and composite by using the [NII]/Ha vs [OIII]/Hb line ratios. The fraction of AGN shows a continuous increase with increasing L_IR from 25% to 90% at 9<log L_IR<12.5. The SFR_Ha and L_[OIII] show good correlations with L_IR for SFG (star-forming galaxies) and AGN, respectively. The self-absorption corrected Ha/Hb ratio shows a weak increase with L_IR with a substantial scatter. When we separate IR LFs into contributions from AGN and SFG, the AGN contribution becomes dominant at L_IR>10^11Lsun, coinciding the break of the both SFG and AGN IR LFs. At L_IR<10^11Lsun, SFG dominates IR Lfs. Only 1.1% of Omega_IR is produced by LIRG, and only 0.03% is by ULIRG in the local Universe. This work also provides the most accurate infrared luminosity density of the local Universe to date. Compared with high redshift results from the AKARI NEP deep survey, we observed a strong evolution of Omega_IR^SFG ~(1+z)^4.1+-0.4 and Omega_IR^AGN ~(1+z)^4.1+-0.5 (abridged).
There is a huge gap between properties of red-sequence selected massive galaxy clusters at z<1 and Lyman-break selected proto-clusters at z>3. It is important to understand when and how the z>3 proto-clusters evolve into passive clusters at z<1. We
aim to fill this cluster desert by using the space-based N4(4um) imaging with the AKARI. The z-N4 color is a powerful separator of cluster galaxies at z>1, taking advantage of the 4000A break and the 1.6um bump. We carefully selected 16 promising cluster candidates at 0.9<z<1.7, which all show obvious over-density of galaxies and a prominent red-sequence. At this redshift range, the mid-infrared S15um/S9um flux ratio is an extinction-free indicator of galaxy star formation activity due to the redshifted PAH emission lines (6.2,7.7 and 8.6um). We show statistically that the cluster galaxies have a lower S15um/S9um flux ratio than field galaxies, i.e., cluster galaxies already have lower star-formation activity at 0.9<z<1.7, pushing the formation epoch of these galaxy clusters to a higher redshift.
We present infrared galaxy luminosity functions (LFs) in the AKARI North Ecliptic Pole (NEP) deep field using recently-obtained, wider CFHT optical/near-IR images. AKARI has obtained deep images in the mid-infrared (IR), covering 0.6 deg$^2$ of the N
EP deep field. However, our previous work was limited to the central area of 0.25 deg$^2$ due to the lack of optical coverage of the full AKARI NEP survey. To rectify the situation, we recently obtained CFHT optical and near-IR images over the entire AKARI NEP deep field. These new CFHT images are used to derive accurate photometric redshifts, allowing us to fully exploit the whole AKARI NEP deep field. AKARIs deep, continuous filter coverage in the mid-IR wavelengths (2.4, 3.2, 4.1, 7, 9, 11, 15, 18, and 24$mu$m) exists nowhere else, due to filter gaps of other space telescopes. It allows us to estimate restframe 8$mu$m and 12$mu$m luminosities without using a large extrapolation based on spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting, which was the largest uncertainty in previous studies. Total infrared luminosity (TIR) is also obtained more reliably due to the superior filter coverage. The resulting restframe 8$mu$m, 12$mu$m, and TIR LFs at $0.15<z<2.2$ are consistent with previous works, but with reduced uncertainties, especially at the high luminosity-end, thanks to the wide field coverage. In terms of cosmic infrared luminosity density ($Omega_{mathrm{IR}}$), we found that the $Omega_{mathrm{IR}}$ evolves as $propto (1+z)^{4.2pm 0.4}$.
We present a method of selection of 24~$mu$m galaxies from the AKARI North Ecliptic Pole (NEP) Deep Field down to $150 mbox{ }mu$Jy and measurements of their two-point correlation function. We aim to associate various 24 $mu$m selected galaxy populat
ions with present day galaxies and to investigate the impact of their environment on the direction of their subsequent evolution. We discuss using of Support Vector Machines (SVM) algorithm applied to infrared photometric data to perform star-galaxy separation, in which we achieve an accuracy higher than 80%. The photometric redshift information, obtained through the CIGALE code, is used to explore the redshift dependence of the correlation function parameter ($r_{0}$) as well as the linear bias evolution. This parameter relates galaxy distribution to the one of the underlying dark matter. We connect the investigated sources to their potential local descendants through a simplified model of the clustering evolution without interactions. We observe two different populations of star-forming galaxies, at $z_{med}sim 0.25$, $z_{med}sim 0.9$. Measurements of total infrared luminosities ($L_{TIR}$) show that the sample at $z_{med}sim 0.25$ is composed mostly of local star-forming galaxies, while the sample at $z_{med}sim0.9$ is composed of luminous infrared galaxies (LIRGs) with $L_{TIR}sim 10^{11.62}L_{odot}$. We find that dark halo mass is not necessarily correlated with the $L_{TIR}$: for subsamples with $L_{TIR}= 10^{11.15} L_{odot}$ at $z_{med}sim 0.7$ we observe a higher clustering length ($r_{0}=6.21pm0.78$ $[h^{-1} mbox{Mpc}]$) than for a subsample with mean $L_{TIR}=10^{11.84} L_{odot}$ at $z_{med}sim1.1$ ($r_{0}=5.86pm0.69$ $h^{-1} mbox{Mpc}$). We find that galaxies at $z_{med}sim 0.9$ can be ancestors of present day $L_{*}$ early type galaxies, which exhibit a very high $r_{0}sim 8$~$h^{-1} mbox{Mpc}$.
