We built a 8 μm selected sample of galaxies in the NEP-AKARI eld by defining 4 redshift bins with the four AKARI bands at 11, 15, 18 and 24 microns (0:15 < z < 0:49, 0:75 < z < 1:34, 1:34 < z < 1:7 and 1:7 < z < 2:05) . Our sample contains 4079 sources, 599 are securely detected with Herschel/PACS. Also adding ultraviolet (UV) data from GALEX, we fit the spectral energy distributions using the physically motivated code CIGALE to extract the star formation rate, stellar mass, dust attenuation and the AGN contribution to the total infrared luminosity (LIR). We discuss the impact of the adopted attenuation curve and that of the wavelength coverage to estimate these physical parameters. We focus on galaxies with a luminosity close the characteristic L* IR in the different redshift bins to study the evolution with redshift of the dust attenuation in these galaxies.

We established a separation scheme to distinguish galaxies from stars with the aid of AKARI/FIS color-color (CC) diagrams. In all the combinations of CC diagrams we can distinguish two separate clouds. It was shown that in all cases one of them contains more than 95% of galaxies and the other one, in most cases, consists in more than 80% of stars (Pollo et al., 2010). Currently we are looking into more detailed classifications. We are especially interested in separating different morphological types of galaxies, mainly within spiral galaxies. Moreover, we study the properties of infrared galaxies.
