Optical Identification of 15$\mu $m Sources in the AKARI Performance Verification Field toward the North Ecliptic Pole
Abstract We present the results of optical identifications for 257 mid-infrared sources detected with a deep 15$\;\mu$m survey over approximately 80 arcmin$^2$ area in the AKARI performance verification field near the North Ecliptic Pole. The 15$\;\mu$m fluxes of the sources range from 1 mJy down to 40 $\mu $Jy, approximately …
