Brief Introduction of Research
- Understanding the history of galaxy formation and evolution is one of the most fundamental studies for human beings - because we are residents of a galaxy. By using large telescopes including Subaru, our research team is leading a number of multi-wavelength observational programmes of nearby/distant galaxies. My particular interest is the interplay between galaxy evolution and the formation of large-scale structures of the Universe - i.e. galaxy evolution during the cluster-scale assembly. The Subaru Telescope is ideally suited for this purpose because of its unique wide field of views. In addition to such “panoramic” studies of distant galaxies/clusters, our research team is now also enthusiastic about obtaining internal properties of individual galaxies by exploiting new technologies like adaptive optics (AO) assisted observations, integral field unit (IFU) spectroscopy, ...etc.
