Note : this is the description file of the original catalog. This HTML page corresponds well to the original description, but some minor changes in the format may have been introduced in the FITS output files in order to allow for arithmetic operations on quantities such as coordinates and times. h:m:s and d:m:s units are normally converted into degrees, and YYYY-MM-DD into julian days.
Similarly, some slight changes may have been introduced in the units; the value given in the HTML files supersedes the value indicated in the ReadMe file for this catalogue.

Abstract:
    We demonstrate the use of the AKARI all-sky survey photometric data in
    the study of galactic star formation. Our aim was to select young
    stellar objects (YSOs) in the AKARI Far-Infrared Surveyor (FIS) Bright
    Source Catalogue. We used AKARI/FIS and Wide-field Infrared Survey
    Explorer (WISE) data to derive mid- and far-infrared colors of YSOs.
    Classification schemes based on quadratic discriminant analysis (QDA)
    have been given for YSOs and the training catalog for QDA was the
    whole-sky selection of previously known YSOs (i.e., listed in the
    SIMBAD database). A new catalog of AKARI FIS YSO candidates including
    44001 sources has been prepared; the reliability of the classification
    is over 90%, as tested in comparison to known YSOs. As much as 76% of
    our YSO candidates are from previously uncatalogued types. The vast
    majority of these sources are Class I and II types according to the
    Lada classification. The distribution of AKARI FIS YSOs is well
    correlated with that of the galactic ISM; local over-densities were
    found on infrared loops and towards the cold clumps detected by
    Planck.

Description:
    AKARI FSC BSC data was combined with mid-IR photometric data from the
    WISE All-Sky Data Release. Classification was made with quadratic
    discriminant analysis based on the mid- and far-IR colours and
    brightness values. 44001 sources were classified as young stellar
    object candidate. For each candidate AKARI FIS ID, celestial position
    (RA2000, DEC2000), WISE magnitudes measured in passbands centered at
    3.4, 4.6, 12 and 22um (W1, W2, W3, W4), their corresponding errors
    (e_W1, e_W2, e_W3, e_W4), FIS flux densities measured in passbands
    with nominal wavelengths of 65, 90, 140 and 160um (F65, F90, F140,
    F160) and the corresponding flux qualities (F_QUAL), the probability
    of being YSO, SIMBAD main type and subtypes, the angular distance
    between the FIS source and the matching SIMBAD object and the SIMBAD
    ID of the matching object are listed.

Note (1): The classification was done in late 2012, the paper was submitted in early 2013, while the preparation of the final form of the catalog was made in mid 2013. Meanwhile 4 of our YSO candidate sources were classified as galaxy in the SIMBAD which we did not remove. But in this catalog they are already listed as galaxy in the Main Type column.
