Research Field
Brief Introduction of Research
- Researches on small solar system bodies by using optical and infrared telescopes.
Targets are comets, asteroids, trans-Neptunian objects, and meteors, together with their impacts to planets. Public relations and their methodology are also my major together with archival works.
