Abstract

From the Akari observational data, we have cross-identified a major portion of AGB stars listed in the catalog of AGB stars presented by Suh & Kwon (2009). We have used the Akari-IRC (Infrared Camera) PSC (Point Source Catalogue; about 850,000 sources at 9 and $18\;{\mu}m$) and Akari-FIS (Far-infrared Surveyer) BSC (Bright Source Catalogue; about 440,000 sources at 65, 90, 140 and $160\;{\mu}m$) as well as the IRAS and NIR observational data to make various meaningful two-color diagrams for AGB stars. We compare them with the theoretical models with various dust shell model parameters and chemical compositions.
