Angular distance between the IRAS (left) and AKARI IRC (center) coordinates and the new near-IR coordinates derived in this work. The dashed figures corresponds to the median IRAS error ellipse and AKARI IRC positional uncertainty of the sources in our sample. (Right) Cumulative frequency of the distribution of the angular distance between the IRAS (dotted histogram) and AKARI IRC (solid histogram) coordinates and the new near-IR coordinates derived in this work.
