AKARI NEP-Deep: galaxy clustering through the AKARI IRC filters [GA]

http://arxiv.org/abs/1802.05976


We present a preliminary analysis of clustering of galaxies luminous in the near- and mid-infrared as seen by seven various ilters of the AKARI IRC instrument from 2 $\mu$m to 24 $\mu$m in the the AKARI NEP-Deep field. We compare populations of galaxies detected in different filters and their clustering properties. We conclude that different AKARI filters allow to trace different populations composed mainly of star-forming galaxies located in different environments. In particular, the mid-infrared filters at redshift z $\sim$ 0.8 and higher trace a population of strongly evolving galaxies located in massive haloes which might have ended as elliptical galaxies today.
