Title: Origin of Complex Molecules in Embedded Protostars
Abstract:
Chemical evolution in prestellar and protostellar phases not only determines the initial chemical composition of protostellar disks but also provides a laboratory to study the fundamentals of interstellar chemistry. In recent years, common detection of gas-phase complex organic molecules (COMs) suggests extensive chemical reactions already taken place in the early phase of star formation. However, while some protostars have abundant gas-phase COMs, many protostars still show no sign of COM emission. This contrast of their gas-phase chemical signatures begs the question: Does the diverse gas-phase chemistry represent distinctively different chemical evolution? and what processes govern the chemical evolution in the early phase of star formation? Ice not only represents the more pristine chemistry with minimum contamination from gas-phase reactions but also enables major formation pathways of COMs. While ALMA provides sub-100 au resolution, a resolution necessary to resolve sites of planet formation, to characterize gaseous COMs in nearby embedded protostars, measurements of chemical composition in ices had been limited by low-resolution and limited sensitivity spectroscopy until JWST. Thus, it is imperative to probe both gas and ice chemistry related to COMs, which can only be achieved with both ALMA and JWST. In this talk, I will highlight the latest JWST results of ice chemistry and the characterization of complex ice species in comparison with that detected in gas-phase by ALMA. Particularly, I will present the latest results from the CORINOS program, which aims to delineate the origin of COM diversity in gas-phase. We detect likely features of icy COMs regardless of the presence of gaseous COMs. If these signatures indeed represent icy COMs, we would get similar abundance in ice- and gas-phase. We suggest that these sources have a similar ice chemistry and the apparent deficiency of gaseous COMs is due to inefficient desorption processes. Whereas JWST provides extremely sensitive spectra, interpretations of ice absorption features still face several challenges. The absorption features are intrinsically blended and isolating each species is not trivial. Furthermore, spectra of embedded protostars suffer from substantial extinction by dust and ice, which hinders straightforward measurements of absorption. I will also discuss the approaches we took to mitigate these challenges as well as the limitations.

Title: Circumgalactic Medium and Large Scale Structure at z=2 Traced by Lya Emission
Abstract:
In current pictures of galaxy formation and evolution, galaxies are closely related to their surrounding circumgalactic medium (CGM) and large scale structure (LSS). To investigate the CGM and LSS at high-z, I will introduce our “MAMMOTH-Subaru” paper series that study ~3300 Lyα emitters (LAEs) and ~120 Lyα blobs (LABs; luminous and massive LAEs) at
z=2 selected with Subaru/HSC data. Our main results are: 1. We stack our LAEs to identify the faint Lyα emission in CGM (Lyα halo; LAH). Our LAH is detected till ~100 kpc at the 2σ level and likely extended to ~200 kpc. We show that more massive LAEs generally have more extended
(flatter) LAHs. 2. We find that most (~70%) LABs locate in overdense environments. A unique protocluster region (~40*20 cMpc^2) contains 12 LABs, showing an extremely high LAB number density (>2 times higher than the SSA22 field). We calculate the angular correlation functions of LAEs and LABs, and suggest that LABs are more clustered and likely reside in more massive dark matter halos than LAEs. 3. We calculate the Lyα luminosity function at z=2 and demonstrate an observational approach to measure the cosmic variance. We find that our measurements cannot be explained by previous simulations, and that LAEs likely have a larger cosmic variance than general star-forming galaxies.

Title: Comparison of Spectra of Solar Magnetic Active Phenomena Using Multiple Chromospheric Lines Taken by DST at Hida Observatory

Abstract:

Solar active phenomena can be observed as spatially resolved images while stellar ones cannot. Recently, so-called “Sun-as-a-star analysis” has been conducted on solar active phenomena by spatial integration of solar observation data into data mimicking stellar observations. H-alpha (6563 angstroms) line has been often used for this analysis and analysis including other chromospheric lines will provide more detailed information on dynamics of stellar active phenomena than single line. For example, the simulated He I (10830 angstroms) line in flaring atmosphere with an electron beam produces much stronger emission and absorption than that without an electron beam (Ding et al. 2005). The absorption sensitivity of the He I line increases due to EUV radiation (Fontenla et al. 1993). Ca II K (3934 angstroms) line consists of three components, K1, K2 and K3, ordered from lower to higher formation heights, which exhibit profiles with wide absorption outside, emission inside of K1 and absorption inside of K2, respectively. We observed solar flare and filament activation which occurred at active region NOAA 13078 on 2022 August 19, taken by Domeless Solar Telescope (DST) at Hida Observatory of Kyoto University. Using Horizontal Spectrometer in DST, we obtained imaging spectroscopic data in four chromospheric lines, H-alpha, Ca II K, Ca II IR (8542 angstroms) and He I, simultaneously. The flare ribbons were confirmed in both wings of Ca II K and the line centers of H-alpha, Ca II K and Ca II IR lines while they were weak in He I line. The darkening of the filament activation was confirmed in both wings of H-alpha and He I lines and line centers of all the four lines. We performed Sun-as-a-star analyses on the data and compared spatially integrated spectra in the four lines. The H-alpha line showed brightening near the line center and darkenings in the red and blue wings, whereas the He I line only showed darkenings in both core and wings. On the other hand, the Ca II K line exhibited the darkening coming from the filament activation in the line center and the brightening coming from the flare ribbon in both wings. We also integrated the spectra in wavelength into equivalent width (EW). The EWs around flare peak time had brightening coming from flare ribbon in H-alpha, Ca II K and Ca II IR lines and started darkening 5-10 min after the peak in H-alpha and Ca II K lines coming from the filament activation. The time developments of EWs of H-alpha and Ca II K lines are similar. The EW of He I line started darkening around flare peak time without brightening. The difference between H-alpha and He I lines is caused by the weakness of flare brightening in He I line, which is considered to be contributed to EUV radiation or electron beam. The difference between H-alpha and Ca II K lines is explained by the broad width of K1,2 emission by the flare ribbon at lower altitude and the narrow width of K3 absorption by the filament at higher altitude. Even though the EWs of H-alpha and Ca II K lines are similar, the wavelength from line center of H-alpha and Ca II K had information of line-of-sight velocity and formation heights in this event, respectively.

Title: One-dimensaional MHD simulation for prominence formation triggered by single heating event

Abstract:

I will review on the thermal non-equilibrium phenomena in the solar atmosphere, and present on my master thesis.
Plasma condensation phenomena in the corona, such as prominences and coronal rain, have been observed for many years. It is not clear whether current models can explain their formation process. In one of the proposed models that explain observational properties, the “evaporation condensation” model, a steady or quasi-steady heating at footpoints of a loop drives dense plasma evaporation into the corona and triggers the condensation.
However, it is natural to think of such steady or quasi-steady heating as the superposition of multiple heating events occurring between multiple magnetic field lines. When studying physical processes along a single magnetic field line, a single heating event should be considered as the basic unit.
We therefore investigate whether condensation occurs when the non-steady single heating event occurs at footpoints of a coronal loop. For this purpose, we set a dipped loop and solve 1.5-dimensional (one-dimensional three-vector components) magnetohydrodynamic equations, including radiative cooling, thermal conduction, gravity, and phenomenological turbulence heating. After reproducing the corona by energy input from imposed velocity perturbation at the footpoints, prominence formation is investigated by adding artificial transient localized heating. It is found that required amount of the heating per unit of time is ∼ 10^3 times larger than in steady cases. The amount of energy reaches nanoflare class. We also perform a parameter survey varying the magnitude of the localized heating rate to investigate the conditions for condensation by transient localized heating. The results show that with sufficiently strong heating, sufficient plasma is supplied to the corona to allow cooling to proceed and condensation to occur. It is essential that the loop temperature decreases and thermal conduction becomes inefficient with respect to cooling. Using the loop length L and the Field length λF, the condition for condensation is expressed as λF ≲L/2 under conditions where cooling exceeds heating.

Title:Multiline Stokes Synthesis of Ellerman Bombs: Obtaining Seamless Information from Photosphere to Chromosphere

Abstract:
There are many kinds of explosive phenomena caused by magnetic reconnections in the solar atmosphere. Ellerman bombs (EBs) are magnetic reconnection events occurring in weakly ionized and moderate plasma β (~1) environments in the solar photosphere and chromosphere. Owing to the observability of the physical quantities around the reconnection site, EBs are one of interesting observation targets for studying magnetic reconnections. While measuring the magnetic field in the solar corona is still difficult, inferring magnetic field in the chromosphere with high spatial resolution and reasonable temporal cadence will be achieved soon.

One such opportunity is SUNRISE III, which is an international balloon-borne solar observatory employing a 1 m diameter telescope. SUNRISE III will achieve five days of stable observations in a seeing-less environment at altitudes around 37 km. We are developing the Sunrise Chromospheric Infrared spectroPolarimeter (SCIP) as a focal plane instrument for SUNRISE III. SCIP will perform multi-line spectropolarimetric observations, enabling us to seamlessly diagnose the physical quantities (magnetic field, velocity field, and temperature) from the photosphere to the chromosphere.

In this talk, I would like to introduce the capability of SCIP for performing observations of magnetic reconnection events. In addition, I will present our recent study: we used a realistic magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulation of EB to study how SCIP will have access to the physical phenomena. We synthesized the polarimetric signals by solving radiative transfer equation based on the physical quantities in the MHD simulation and compared the polarimetric signals with the physical quantities in the MHD results. We found that the multiline observations of SCIP can detect the bidirectional flow associated with the EBs and suggest the height of the reconnection site.

Title: The Chemical enrichment and origin of Nitrogen-Rich Galaxies at High Redshift
Abstract:
Chemical properties of young galaxies are important to understand the chemical evolution in galaxy formation. We investigate the origin of abundance ratios in JWST star-forming galaxies (z ~ 4-10) by comparing chemical evolution models.
The high N/O ratio in GN-z11, CEERS_01019, and GLASS_150008 observed with JWST cannot be explained by typical chemical evolution models including AGB stars. We focus on the three candidates of rich nitrogen, the Wolf-Rayet stars (WR), supermassive stars (SMS), and tidal disruption events (TDE). We develop the chemical evolution models of three candidates. Although the Ar/O values of the high N/O galaxies are not obtained, we find that the Ar/O values are the key to distinguishing between the three models. The three models can show the high N/O values as much as the N/O values in GN-z11, CEERS_01019, and GLASS_150008.
Because the time scale of high N/O is very short due to the CCSNe, the massive stars (>25 Msun) should directly collapse into black holes.

Title: Planetesimal accretion in planetesimal rings
Abstract:
In the standard planet formation scenario, planetesimals have been assumed to be smoothly distributed in the radial direction except for the snowline. Recently, however, simulations of gas and dust evolution have shown that planetesimals form only in radially limited locations, such as gas pressure bumps and snowlines, and are concentrated in ring-like regions.
The evolution process of planetesimals distributed in a ring is crucial to understanding planet formation theory. However, the evolution of planetesimal rings has not been studied in detail. In this work, we investigate the evolution of planetesimal rings using N-body simulations. We systematically change the initial width and the total mass of planetesimal rings and investigate the dependence of protoplanet properties on the initial conditions. In all simulations, protoplanets undergo oligarchic growth while ring width expands due to scattering by protoplanets. In planetesimal rings, massive protoplanets tend to be formed around the ring center, while protoplanets far from the center of rings are less massive. Scaled orbital separation depends neither on the initial ring width nor the total mass and is consistent with the estimate in the oligarchic growth model. The width of the expanded planetesimal ring does not depend on the initial ring width but on the total ring mass. The maximum mass of protoplanets depends strongly on the total ring mass and weakly on the initial ring width.

Title: Constrains on the properties of forming planets from the dust continuum emission of the circumplanetary disks

Abstract:
Although there have been a lot of theoretical research on the formation of gas planets, observational supports have still been very rare. The young T Tauri star PDS 70 has two gas accreting planets sharing one large gap in a pre-transitional disk, which is a valuable system to obtain observational constraints. Recently, dust continuum emission from PDS 70 c has been detected by ALMA Band 7, considered as the evidence of a circumplanetary disk (CPD), a small gas (and dust) disk formed around the planet as a byproduct of the gas accretion. To obtain constraints on the planet properties, we introduce a model of dust evolution in the CPD and reproduce the detection of the dust continuum emission. We find positive correlations between the intensity of the dust emission and three important planet properties, the planet mass, gas accretion rate, and their product called MMdot. We then find that the MMdot of PDS 70 c must be larger than 0.4 MJ^2 /yr, corresponding to the lower limits of the planet mass and the gas accretion rate, 5 MJ and 0.02 MJ/yr. This is the first case to succeed in obtaining constraints on planet properties from the dust continuum emission of a CPD. We also find some loose constraints on the properties of PDS 70 b from the non-detection of its dust emission. We propose possible scenarios for the PDS 70 b and c explaining the non-detection respectively detection of the dust emission from their CPDs. I will also discuss my future plans to obtain constraints on other gas accreting planets if there is enough time.

Title: Subaru/IRD high-resolution spectroscopy of a T-type brown dwarf and investigation of its atmospheric properties with high-resolution spectrum model ExoJAX
Abstract:
While brown dwarf atmospheres share composition and temperature with those of extrasolar gas giant planets, in general, brown dwarfs are observable with a higher signal-to-noise ratio when compared to exoplanets. Thus, the observation of brown dwarf atmospheres helps us establish our understanding of various processes in the atmospheres of such temperature and composition, including chemistry, thermal structure, dynamics, and cloud formation. Also, their high-resolution spectra serve as excellent templates for the observational validation of the molecular line lists at such high temperatures. The accuracy of molecular line lists holds the key to detecting chemical species in exoplanet atmospheres, which are often observed with a lower signal-to-noise ratio.

Recently, we observed the high-resolution spectrum of a T6.5-type brown dwarf Gl 229B with the InfraRed Doppler (IRD) spectrograph mounted on the Subaru Telescope. We have constrained its atmospheric properties, such as the molecular abundances and thermal structure, using an inverse-problem approach with our high-resolution spectrum model ExoJAX (Kawahara, Kawashima et al. 2022). We have also investigated the possibility of inferring the object mass using the embedded information on collision-induced absorption uniquely accessible by high-resolution spectroscopy. Furthermore, we have revealed that in some wavelength regions, specific molecular line lists do not match the observed absorption features.

Title:Measurements of a reconnection electric field in the solar chromosphere

Abstract:The efficient release of magnetic energy in astrophysical plasmas can be achieved through magnetic-field diffusion, the rate of which is directly tied to the associated electric field. However, there have been only a
few attempts to measure electric fields in the solar atmosphere, because of the common assumption that electric fields must vanish quickly or only exist at unresolvable spatial scales. Using the newly commissioned National Science Foundation’s Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope (DKIST), we observed NOAA active region 12995 on February 23rd, 2022, in three spectral bands 397 nm, 630 nm, and 854 nm using the Visible SpectroPolarimeter (ViSP). We successfully obtained Stokes spectra of an Ellerman bomb, which is brightening in the lower chromosphere and are thought to be associated with magnetic reconnection. At the Ellerman bomb, we discovered a broadband circular polarization in a Balmer line of the neutral hydrogen at 397 nm, H epsilon, that can only be explained by the presence of an electric field. Moreover, we found that the measured signal filled a region up to ~1000 km, which is three orders of
magnitude larger than that expected in theory. In this talk, we will present our findings and discuss why the diffusion region is so large, and what is the next step.

Title:Unresolved Anomalies and Tensions in the Standard Cosmological Model

Abstract: The standard Lambda Cold Dark Matter cosmological model has been incredibly successful in explaining a wide range of observational data, from the cosmic microwave background radiation to the large-scale structure of the universe. However, recent observations have revealed a number of inconsistencies among the model’s key cosmological parameters, which have different levels of statistical significance. These include discrepancies in measurements of the Hubble constant, the S8 tension, and the CMB tension. While some of these inconsistencies could be due to systematic errors, the persistence of such tensions across various probes suggests a potential failure of the canonical LCDM model. I will examine these inconsistencies and discuss possible explanations, including modifications to the standard model, that could potentially alleviate them. However, I will also discuss the limitations of these proposed solutions and note that none of them have successfully resolved the discrepancies.

Title:Observation of the White-Light Corona at Total Solar Eclipses (Focusing
on Polarization Measurements)
Abstract:Total solar eclipses are good chances to observe the inner white-light corona under a very low background level. Combining the eclipse data and those from spaceborne coronagraphs such as SOHO/LASCO, we can obtain the distribution of the coronal material regardless of the temperature from just above the limb to tens of solar radii.
For this purpose, we carried out eclipse observations several times with amateur observers using polarimetry instruments. Polarimetry is indispensable to separate the K-corona (million-kelvin plasma) from the F-corona (interplanetary dust), and therefore, all the spaceborne coronagraphs have polarimetric capacity.
The results from the eclipses unexpectedly show a systematic difference between the polarimetry results obtained during the eclipses and those by LASCO. The degree of polarization obtained by LASCO is about 30 % less than the eclipse results and it was revealed that combining the eclipse and LASCO data is difficult. This result suggests that the polarimetric calibration of LASCO should be re-examined.
Some future space missions carrying white-light coronagraphs are planned, and they may also have difficulty in polarimetric calibrations. Repeated eclipse observations are expected to provide good calibration data for space coronagraphs. After a consistent calibration becomes possible, the precise distribution of coronal material in the wide range will be obtained.

Title: ALMA [CII] observations of TN J0924-2201, the radio galaxy at z~5.2

Abstract:
High-redshift radio galaxies are massive star-forming galaxies with powerful radio jets, often located on or below the star-forming main sequence of galaxies, indicating that they are in the process of being quenched. TN J0924-2201 is one of the most distant known radio galaxies, associated with three CO(1-0)-detected companions at z~5.2. In this talk we will present ALMA observations of [CII] 158 um line and the corresponding 1-mm continuum emission of TN J0924-2201. While obtaining the [CII] line and 1mm continuum emission at the host galaxy, our observations revealed no detection at the positions of the three CO(1-0) companions. The derived systematic redshift z_[CII] of the host galaxy from the [CII] is ~5.17, indicating a velocity offset of ~1200 km/s with respect to z_Lya, marking the largest velocity offset between [CII] and Lya recorded at z > 5 to date. Within the host galaxy, we identified an extended [CII] structure with a velocity of ~700 km/s, suggestive of an outflow. This finding aligns with the shell outflow model, providing consistency with the observed large velocity offset of Lya. Assuming three massive CO(1-0) companions are also outflows, their velocities of ~1500 km/s surpass the escape velocity of a 10^13 Msun halo, implying the removal of molecular gas from the system of TN J0924-2201. Our observations and results revealed that we are witnessing a distinctive phase of radio galaxies in their evolution.

Title: Carbon Isotope Fractionation of Complex Organic Molecules in Star-Forming Cores
Abstract:
Recent high-resolution and sensitivity ALMA observations have unveiled the carbon isotope ratios (12C/13C) of Complex Organic Molecules (COMs) in a low-mass protostellar source. To understand the 12C/13C ratios of COMs, we investigated the carbon isotopic fractionation of COMs from prestellar cores to protostellar cores with a gas-grain chemical network model. We confirmed that in the prestellar phase, the 12C/13C ratios of small molecules are bimodal: CO and species formed from CO (e.g.,CH3OH) are slightly enriched in 13C compared to the local ISM (by ∼ 10 %), while those from C and C+ are depleted in 13C owing to isotope exchange reactions. COMs are formed from the simple species on grain surface, and thus basically inherit the bimodality of 12C/13C. In the protostellar phase, COMs are formed on the grain surface and in the hot gas (> 100 K) and have different 12C/13C from those in the prestellar phase. We additionally incorporate reactions between gaseous atomic C and H2O ice or CO ice on the grain surface to form H2CO ice or C2O ice suggested by recent laboratory studies. The direct C-atom addition reactions open pathways to form 13C-enriched COMs from atomic C and CO ice. We find that these direct C-atom addition reactions mitigate isotope fractionation, and the model with the direct C-atom addition reactions better reproduces the observations than our base model. Our calculations also show that cosmic-ray ionization rates affect the 12C/13C ratios of COMs.

Title: Estimating the characteristics of ejecta from magma ocean for water production on the protoplanet
Abstract:
How water is delivered to rocky planets during the planet-forming stage is a major issue in planetary science. While many previous studies considered water delivery by icy planetesimals, we consider water production by chemical interaction between the primordial atmosphere and the surface of the magma ocean of a rocky planet growing through planetesimal accretion. Previous studies based on this idea assumed that iron oxides in the magma ocean and atmospheric hydrogen are always in constant contact, which must be examined; namely, we need to consider properly how to bring the magma into contact with the atmosphere. In this study, we focus on the reaction between the atmospheric gas and the materials ejected from the magma ocean when planetesimals collide with the magma ocean surface during the growth phase of a planet. I am currently studying the scatter of magma upon the impact of planetesimals on the planet’s surface and its influence on the atmospheric composition. In this talk, I will describe our progress in the research to date and future research plans.
