抄録（英）
We aim to study star-forming galaxies by using a blind spectroscopic survey at mid-infrared (MIR) wavelengths to understand evolution of their star formation rate (SFR) and specific SFR (SFR per stellar mass) up to z in the order of 0.5, by paying particular attention to their Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAH) properties. We conducted a low-resolution (R approximately equal to 50) slitless spectroscopic survey at 5-13 micrometers of 9 micrometers flux-selected sources (approximately greater than 0.3 mJy) around the North Ecliptic Pole with the Infrared Camera (IRC) onboard AKARI. We identified 48 PAH galaxies with PAH 6.2, 7.7, and 8.6 micrometers features at z approximately less than 0.5. The rest-frame optical-MIR spectral energy distributions (SEDs) based on CFHT and AKARI/IRC imaging are produced and analyzed in conjunction with the PAH spectroscopy. The rest-frame SEDs of all PAH galaxies have a universal shape with stellar and 7.7 micrometers (PAH) bumps, except that the PAH enhancement (luminosity ratio of the 7.7 micrometers PAH feature over the 3.5 micrometers stellar bump) significantly varies as a function of the PAH luminosities. We identified a PAH-enhanced population at z approximately less than 0.35, whose SEDs and luminosities are typical of luminous infrared galaxies. They show particularly larger PAH enhancement at high luminosity, implying that they are vigorous star-forming galaxies with elevated specific SFR. Our composite starburst model that combines a young and dusty starburst with a very old population can successfully reproduce most SED characteristics.
