Professor    Kano, Ryouhei

Research Field

  • Space Instrumentation, Observational Astronomy (Sun and Stars)

Brief Introduction of Research

  • I am working on an infrared space astrometry mission, JASMINE (Japan Astrometry Satellite Mission for INfrared Exploration), and promoting scientific investigation and technical development of JASMINE’s science instrument. My science topic is to study active phenomena in stellar atmospheres using JASMINE’s high-precision, high-cadence photometric observations.
