Introduction of the CFIRB Observations with AKARI/FIS

Abstract

The Cosmic Far-Infrared Background (CFIRB) contains information about the number and distribution of contributing sources and thus gives us an important key to understand the evolution of galaxies. In order to detect CFIRB fluctuation effectively, we have to analyze the confusion carefully which sets a fundamental limit to the deep observations. From our deep observations, we can compare the background fluctuation via observations of regions at different Galactic latitudes. Our comparative study between estimated confusion levels from our observations and those from our model enables us to understand the nature of CFIRB. We introduce our CFIRB observations and report the preliminary results.
