Electromagnetic spectrum
Infrared range: longer than optical and shorter than microvawe waves.

Infrared
Astronomers roughly divide infrared into three ranges:
1. near- (NIR: 1 – 5 micrometers),
2. mid- (Mid-IR: – 5 -- 30 micrometers)
3. far- (FIR: 30 – >200 micrometers).

Humans in the Infrared
Human body of a normal temperature has radiates with a maximum in the infrared around 10-12 microns.

Infrared astronomical observations
![Page 8: Galaxies (and stars) in the far infrared: results from the AKARI All-Sky Survey Agnieszka Pollo IPJ Warszawa, 15.04.2011.](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110402/56649e485503460f94b3bae9/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Astronomy: observations in the infrared
Atmosphere– absorbs infrared– emits in the infrared itself
Atmospheric emission is the strongest at ~10 μm
There are a few IR “windows” in the atmosphere where there is no emission and no strong absorption, mainly above ~ 4 μm (NIR).

What can we observe in IR?
Astronomical objects in IR look different than in other wavelengths
Different parts of the spectrum show different things: Far IR: dust, UV: young hot stars optical: most of stars which are not obscured by
dust near-IR: stars hidden behind the dust (here the
dust becomes relatively transparent)
![Page 15: Galaxies (and stars) in the far infrared: results from the AKARI All-Sky Survey Agnieszka Pollo IPJ Warszawa, 15.04.2011.](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110402/56649e485503460f94b3bae9/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
What can we observe in IR?
This makes IR a very important range for galaxy observations
– it allows to see the parts of galaxies which are completely hidden by dust (and sometimes whole galaxies faint or invisible in optical range) – important for a total census of stellar light (and mass) in the Universe
– it gives a possibility to discover very distant galaxies

v. β-1: 94% of the sky in 16 months
>43 000 sources with fluxes measured in all four FIS bands (160, 140, 90, 65 μm), i.e. “colors”
![Page 33: Galaxies (and stars) in the far infrared: results from the AKARI All-Sky Survey Agnieszka Pollo IPJ Warszawa, 15.04.2011.](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110402/56649e485503460f94b3bae9/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
What are these sources?
• Statistical analysis of all sky surveys provides a powerful tool to understand the properties of all classes of objects in the Universe.
• But first, we need to know: what they are?• From our point of view, the crucial point was:
which of these sources are the galaxies, how they can be distinguished from sources which belong to Milky Way?
• If, e.g., we want to make a (costly) measurement of galaxy distances by spectrophotometry, we do not want our sample to be “polluted” by too many stars (and vice versa, stellar researches do not want to be bothered by galaxies).
![Page 34: Galaxies (and stars) in the far infrared: results from the AKARI All-Sky Survey Agnieszka Pollo IPJ Warszawa, 15.04.2011.](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110402/56649e485503460f94b3bae9/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
What are these sources?
• In case of FIR studies there is no credible way to find good galaxy candidates (yet)
• At first, we have at our disposal only FIR fluxes (i.e. FIR colors)
![Page 35: Galaxies (and stars) in the far infrared: results from the AKARI All-Sky Survey Agnieszka Pollo IPJ Warszawa, 15.04.2011.](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110402/56649e485503460f94b3bae9/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Preceding Study from IRAS
With IRAS four bands (12, 25, 60, 100 μm), a very detailed classification was possible. However, in the case of AKARI FIS ASS, we must rely only on four FIR bands (at longer wavelengths), and this cannot be a trivial application of IRAS methodology, since the physical processes behind emission in these bands are different.
(Walker et al. 1989)
Classical method: color-color diagrams.
![Page 36: Galaxies (and stars) in the far infrared: results from the AKARI All-Sky Survey Agnieszka Pollo IPJ Warszawa, 15.04.2011.](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110402/56649e485503460f94b3bae9/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
The color-color diagrams
• The basic idea: different classes of astronomical (and not not only) objects have different colors
• Color is defined as a difference between fluxes at different wavelengths (also far from optical)
![Page 37: Galaxies (and stars) in the far infrared: results from the AKARI All-Sky Survey Agnieszka Pollo IPJ Warszawa, 15.04.2011.](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110402/56649e485503460f94b3bae9/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
The color-color diagrams
• Such differences were first observed in the optical range: it is well known that, e.g. young stars are bluer than old ones, and spiral galaxies are bluer than ellipticals.
![Page 38: Galaxies (and stars) in the far infrared: results from the AKARI All-Sky Survey Agnieszka Pollo IPJ Warszawa, 15.04.2011.](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110402/56649e485503460f94b3bae9/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
The color-color diagrams
• This is (broadly speaking) related to the fact, that different objects have different spectra, and their shape may in a complex way vary depending on their properties
Here: templates from Buzzoni at al. 2005

1. The sample was matched with SIMBAD and NED (astronomical database for stars, nebulae, and galaxies).
Star-Galaxy Separation by FIS Color-Color Diagrams
Data
• Since we were looking mainly for galaxies, we selected sources in a low-cirrus region (I100 < 10 MJy sr-1) on the sky to avoid contamination in FIR flux (5176 objects), which in practice meant mainly avoiding Galactic plane.
![Page 40: Galaxies (and stars) in the far infrared: results from the AKARI All-Sky Survey Agnieszka Pollo IPJ Warszawa, 15.04.2011.](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110402/56649e485503460f94b3bae9/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Objects in the All Sky Survey
• In this way, we found– 4272 galaxies– 382 other
extragalactic objects– 399 Galactic objects– among them, 349
Milky Way stars– for 101 sources it
remains unclear whether they are Galactic or not
– only 22 sources were left unidentified
![Page 41: Galaxies (and stars) in the far infrared: results from the AKARI All-Sky Survey Agnieszka Pollo IPJ Warszawa, 15.04.2011.](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110402/56649e485503460f94b3bae9/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Color-color diagram (an example)
We found that we can define a separation line on practically all the FIS color-color plots to select >97% of galaxies and reject > 80\% of stars. (Pollo, Rybka & Takeuchi, 2010, A&A).

Star-galaxy separation in the color-color plots
• Color-color diagrams allow for a very good star-galaxy separation
• Stars form two branches: – a bigger, “bluer” branch is dominated by optically
bright stars, mostly evolved stars and pulsating variables (often Mira-type)
– a smaller branch overlapping galaxies contains few bright stars with known IR excess (due to, e.g. dusty disks) – most notable among them is Vega, some faint (poorly known) stars and a certain number of planetary nebulae
![Page 44: Galaxies (and stars) in the far infrared: results from the AKARI All-Sky Survey Agnieszka Pollo IPJ Warszawa, 15.04.2011.](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110402/56649e485503460f94b3bae9/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Star-galaxy separation in the color-color plots
• Our method allows for a good separation of galaxies from stars – the contamination of a “blue branch” of stars by galaxies is very low
• This applies to FIR-bright objects from outside of the Galactic plane
• Most of the observed galaxies (with known z) are nearby galaxies (z<0.1) – however, we expect that more distant galaxies should be even redder – the method should remain valid
![Page 45: Galaxies (and stars) in the far infrared: results from the AKARI All-Sky Survey Agnieszka Pollo IPJ Warszawa, 15.04.2011.](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110402/56649e485503460f94b3bae9/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Modeling of the galaxy evolution
Galaxies evolve in various senses. Among others, the most prominent aspect of galaxy evolution is that of stellar population and resulting change of metallicity, appearing in their colors and spectral features (lines, breaks, etc.). This is the key factor of galaxy evolution.
-> evolutionary synthesis models of galaxies Evolution of galaxies can be studies in various ways.
One of them is the detailed analysis of one particular galaxy with the aim to apply the conclusions to a broader class of similar galaxies. The most obvious candidate for such “case studies” is, of course, our Milky Way.

Modeling of the galaxy spectral evolution
• Key ingredients:– Various populations of stars– Interstellar matter: dust and gas– Relations between star formation and late
stages of stellar evolution: through the content of interstellar matter
– This can be tested observationally mainly thanks to the IR data

Evolution of Stars
The life of stars is determined by their initial mass.
Light stars live long, end with a moderate ejection of gas and subsequent cooling.
Heavy stars live short, end with violent explosions and mass ejections.

Supply of metals to the intergalactic space occurs
mainly by: Stellar winds Matter ejections in the final stages of life of
(more or less massive) stars 1) supernovae 2) planetary nebulae
-> To reproduce well galaxy spectra (and their evolution), we need to trace accurately 1) their stellar populations and their evolution 2) metal supply due to various mechanisms

Supply of metals to the interstellar space I: stellar wind
Some of very massive stars expel their outer hydrogen layer by radiation pressure: stellar winds. This occurs for almost all stars, but is especially efficient for OB and Wolf-Rayet stars.
This is often observed with a specific spectral feature: P-Cygni profile.

Stars with masses similar to the Sun run out the hydrogen in the core, change their equilibrium structure and expand, and become cool huge stars (red giant branch stars: RGBs).
After the RGB phase, these stars become unstable and repeat expansion and contraction (thermal pulse asymptotic giant branch stars: TPAGB). Because of this pulsation, the outer layer of a star is expelled into the interstellar space and forms a gas nebula, called planetary nebula (PN). The nebulae expand into the space, mix with the interstellar medium (ISM), and provide heavy elements contained in the gas.

Then, finally they end their life with a very energetic explosion (supernova: SN). The ejected gas from a star forms a nebula, called a supernova remnant (SNR). This also provides the ISM with heavy elements.
The death of heavy stars : supernovae explosions
Stars several times heavier than the Sun repeat expansion and contraction, and change their internal structure a few times depending on the mass.

AGB and post-AG stars in the Milky Way halo and their input
to the FIR flux of the Galaxy
Among 330 Galactic point sources with the full (new) photometric information outside of the Galactic plane:
270 (i.e. >80 %) are AGB and post-AGB stars60 (~20 %): YSO, MS stars, binaries and
multiple systems, HII regions, supergiants and red giants, faint stars...
Outside Galactic plane, the AGB and post-AGB stars dominate in number among the point sources
![Page 63: Galaxies (and stars) in the far infrared: results from the AKARI All-Sky Survey Agnieszka Pollo IPJ Warszawa, 15.04.2011.](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110402/56649e485503460f94b3bae9/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
AGB and post-AGB stars in the FIR color-color diagrams
Different types of AGB stars are places similarly in the FIR CC diagrams but post-AGB stars form two distinct groups
![Page 64: Galaxies (and stars) in the far infrared: results from the AKARI All-Sky Survey Agnieszka Pollo IPJ Warszawa, 15.04.2011.](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110402/56649e485503460f94b3bae9/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
Input to the FIR flux of the MW from the point sources
• The input from the AGB and post-AGB stars: around 80% (similarly to contribution in number), decreasing above 100 microns
![Page 65: Galaxies (and stars) in the far infrared: results from the AKARI All-Sky Survey Agnieszka Pollo IPJ Warszawa, 15.04.2011.](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110402/56649e485503460f94b3bae9/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
Input to the FIR flux of the MW from the point sources
• The input post-AGB stars only: around 20% (while their contribution in number is around 10%), does not decrease above 100 microns
![Page 66: Galaxies (and stars) in the far infrared: results from the AKARI All-Sky Survey Agnieszka Pollo IPJ Warszawa, 15.04.2011.](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110402/56649e485503460f94b3bae9/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
Input to the FIR flux of the MW from the point sources
• AGB stars are an important source of the FIR flux
• The contribution from PNe is larger than from AGB stars
• And this ratio is rising with λ, especially after 100 microns
![Page 67: Galaxies (and stars) in the far infrared: results from the AKARI All-Sky Survey Agnieszka Pollo IPJ Warszawa, 15.04.2011.](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110402/56649e485503460f94b3bae9/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
“Red” and “blue” PNe (in FIR)
• This last effect is obviously related to the presence of especially red (as red as galaxies) sub-population of PNe
• However, there is also, equally numerous, sub-population of PNe mixed with AGB stars (admittedly, keeping closer to its red part, but within the area)
![Page 68: Galaxies (and stars) in the far infrared: results from the AKARI All-Sky Survey Agnieszka Pollo IPJ Warszawa, 15.04.2011.](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110402/56649e485503460f94b3bae9/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)

Can we spot any difference between them
• Not so easy but:– “Red” PNe are seem to be often older,
larger, have better developed structures (often bipolar)
– Then:• It is possible that PNe move to the redder part
of the diagram (i.e. become more luminous at λ>100 μ) at more advanced evolutionary stages
• In such a case it could be interpreted as cooling of the dust grains in the nebula
• Does it have anything to do with bipolarity (or brightness in the FIR in general)?
![Page 71: Galaxies (and stars) in the far infrared: results from the AKARI All-Sky Survey Agnieszka Pollo IPJ Warszawa, 15.04.2011.](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110402/56649e485503460f94b3bae9/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
Conclusions• Galaxies and stars can be reasonably well
separated using the FIR information only• The luminous in FIR point sources in the
Milky Way halo are mainly AGB and post-AGB stars, with the contribution from the planetary nebulae rising with the wavelength (especially after 100 μ)
• Some PNe are redder in FIR than the other – an effect of evolution or other factors as well?
• Can this information be used for modeling of the FIR spectra of outer parts of large spiral galaxies?
![Page 72: Galaxies (and stars) in the far infrared: results from the AKARI All-Sky Survey Agnieszka Pollo IPJ Warszawa, 15.04.2011.](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110402/56649e485503460f94b3bae9/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
How does it apply to the Galactic plane
• In the remaining part (i.e. disk an bulge of the Galaxy):
– much more unidentified sources (40% vs 0.5% in the analyzed part) – this is probably related to much better resolution of AKARI with respect to previous experiments
– much less galaxies (15% vs 80%)– similar percentage (!) of stars and nebulae – again,
the reason is most probably the limited resolution of previous observations
– much more sources of unknown nature (observed before but not identified) – 30% vs 3%
– classification of objects from the Galactic plane will require more and much more careful analysis
