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.

Title: High-precision SFR mapping of the nearby galaxy NGC 1068 using ALMA 100 GHz continuum and HST Paα line and the effect of DIG contamination.

Abstract:
The star formation rate (SFR) is an important indicator in the context of galaxy evolution. However, it is not easy to accurately measure the SFR in external galaxies. For example, the most common method is to use radiation from the HII region, but the to assume temperature of the HII region and the contribution of other radiation sources make it difficult to accurately estimate the SFR. Furthermore, in the infrared and optical wavelength bands, the effect of dust extinction is significant and needs to be corrected. Therefore, it is important to observe in the millimeter and sub-millimeter wavelength bands with ALMA, which are not affected to dust extinction, especially, which has high sensitivity and high resolution. In recent years, with the improvement of data accuracy, a method to isolate, identify, and extract whether the source of ionized gas is from star formation or not is being established. By identifying and subtracting stronger ionization sources (e.g., AGN origin) and weaker (Diffuse Ionized Gas; DIG origin) than star formation sources, SFRs that are less contradiction with SFRs derived from multiple tracers have been reported (e.g., Michiyama et al. 2020). Michiyama et al. 2020).
We produced a precise SFR map for the nearby galaxy NGC 1068 by comparing the two different ionized gas tracers, free-free emission and hydrogen recombination line the Paα, and by considering the effect of DIG.
In this talk, I will introduce how to make an accurate SFR map and the result.
In addition, I will focus on the DIG correction.

Title: No galaxy-scale [CII] outflow detected in a z=6.72 red quasar with ALMA

Abstruct:
It has been claimed that active galactic nucleus (AGN)-driven massive outflows, which would happen during a transition phase from an obscured dusty quasar to a normal blue quasar, are the key physical process in driving the co-evolution of galaxies and supermassive black holes (SMBHs). Partially dust-obscured red quasars are thought to be the immediate phase of this transition. However, while many blue quasars at z = 6~7 have been found in recent years, it is still hard to identify red quasars at that epoch due to their apparent faintness. Deep, wide-area surveys and subsequent multi-wavelength follow-up observations are thus required to identify such red objects and test the above evolutionary scenario. Here we report our ALMA cycle 7 observations of the z = 6.72 red quasar HSC 120505.09−000027.9 (J1205−0000). This is one of the highest redshift (z > 6) red quasars originally identified by our deep Subaru Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) survey. It is apparently faint, but is intrinsically as luminous as −24.4 mag at rest-UV and hosts a massive BH of 2.2 × 10^9 Msun. It is also known to be N V and C IV BAL object, indicating the existence of nuclear outflows. We successfully detected both the [CII] 158 μm line and the underlying rest-FIR continuum emission (resolution ~0.6″, 1σ ~ 0.1 mJy/beam at dV = 75 km/s). The continuum is very bright, with the estimated luminosity of 2.3 × 10^12 Lsun (or equivalently SFR ~ 485 Msun/yr), which indicates that the host galaxy of this red quasar is indeed a starburst system. However, the detailed analysis of the visibility data suggests that the bulk of this IR emission originates from a spatially unresolved compact component, likely the AGN itself. Hence the actual SFR could be much smaller. Regarding the AGN feedback, our observations do not conclusively assert the presence of [CⅡ] outflows. One possible interpretation of this is that the spatial scale of the outflow is not large enough to reach the host galaxy. However, we propose that this red quasar is indeed in a key evolutionary phase of AGN feedback. We will also discuss possible future observations to explore the existence of this wing component.

Title: Progenitors of ultra-long gamma-ray bursts: an ultra-long and ultra-slow developing story
Abstract:
Gamma-ray bursts are fantastic explosions seen at cosmological distances, and one of the most extreme high energy events of the Universe. Because of their distance, understanding the phenomenon at play is challenging. In this seminar, I will review the GRB phenomenon, what we already know about the progenitor of those events, focusing on the most unknown kind of event, the ultra-long ones, and how we use the current technology for improving our knowledge.

Title:3D mapping of the magnetic field in the whole atmosphere of an active region plage with the CLASP2.1 sounding rocket experiment
Abstract:Probing the magnetic field throughout the solar atmosphere is critically important for understanding the energy transfer from the photosphere to the corona. However, there is an overwhelming lack of empirical information on the magnetic field in the upper chromosphere and the layers above, where the magnetic pressure dominates the gas pressure (β < 1). To this end, a novel approach is to measure and model the polarization of magnetically-sensitive ultraviolet (UV) spectral lines. The series of sounding rocket experiments CLASP (2015), CLASP2 (2019) and CLASP2.1 (2021) have demonstrated that UV spectro-polarimetry is indeed a suitable diagnostic tool for investigating the magnetic fields in the whole solar chromosphere. On October 8, 2021, CLASP2.1 measured the Stokes profiles of the 280 nm spectral region at 16 consecutive slit positions covering a two-dimensional field of view in an active region plage. This near-UV spectral region contains the resonance lines of Mn I (which provide information on the lower chromosphere) and the Mg II h & k lines (which provide information on the middle and upper chromosphere). Combined with coordinated observations with the Solar Optical Telescope (SOT) aboard the Hinode satellite, we obtained a line-of-sight magnetogram covering a sunspot penumbra and a plage (moss) region at multiple heights from the photosphere to the top chromosphere. The 3D mapping enables how the magnetic patches expand with height and how much magnetic flux reaches higher in the chromosphere. The obtained magnetogram is compared with the high-resolution images recorded by IRIS and SDO/AIA, revealing the connectivity between the magnetic structure in the chromosphere and the coronal loops.

Title: MHD Simulation of The Inner Galaxy with Radiative Cooling and Heating
Abstract:
Magnetic field is supposed to play a key role in the interstellar gas of the Galactic Center region (inner Galactic Bulge region).
Observations show that the strength of the magnetic field within the central few hundred parsecs of the Galaxy is stronger than in the Galactic disk region, and its magnetic energy is comparable poor even surpasses the thermal and kinetic energy of the interstellar gas.
Therefore, it is essential to study the role of the magnetic field to understand the behavior of the interstellar gas in the Galactic center region.
In this talk, we will present the results of 3D global magnetohydrodynamical simulations in the Galactic center region. A notable distinction from previous simulations is the inclusion of radiative cooling and heating effects. We found the formation of a mid-latitude low-plasma beta zone (dominated by magnetic field pressure), which would not have appeared in the model without radiative heating and cooling. While the thermal energy of the interstellar gas is lost because of radiative heating and cooling effects, the magnetic energy is independent of this direct effect and can contribute to the thickness that supports the interstellar gas clouds above the Galactic plane.In fact, it is difficult to explain the thickness of gas clouds in the Galactic center using only gas pressure scale heights, suggesting that the contribution of the magnetic field is important as an interpretation of this thickness.

Title: Uncovering the Chemical Evolution of Galaxies from z=0–5 using the UniverseMachine
Abstract:
Cosmic baryon cycling is pivotal to galaxy evolution, and the amount of metals present in galaxies’ ISMs provides a key window into the gas cycling process. Recent JWST metallicity measurements and constraints on galaxy ISM masses have made it possible to recover the chemical evolution history of galaxies. In this talk, I present a novel empirical model that infers the average metallicity evolution of galaxies from redshift z=5 to z=0. Anchored in the UniverseMachine
(Behroozi+19) framework, our model converts observations of gas-phase metallicities across z=0—5 and galaxy ISM masses into constraints on the ISM return fraction, a key parameter quantifying the recycling of metals into the ISM versus expulsion into the CGM. I will show the initial results on how the ISM return fraction changes with mass and redshift.

Title: Neutrino Mass Hierarchy from Supernova Nucleosynthesis of Light Elements and the Roles of Unstable Nuclei
Abstract:
The origin of neutrino mass and mass hierarchy is one of the biggest unanswered questions in physics. In this talk I propose an astrophysical method so that the supernova (SN) ν-process nucleosynthesis, which is consistent with the mass hierarchy constrained from various ν-oscillation experiments, should provide independent observational signals of nucleosynthetic products in the specific nuclei such as 138La, 19F, 7Li, 11B and others (so-called ν nuclei) through the ν-flavor oscillation due to the MSW matter effect and the effect of collective oscillation [1].
Core-collapse SNe emits a huge number of neutrinos which bring valuable observational information on how the neutrinos propagate through the high-density matter and change their flavors and how explosive nucleosynthesis occurs. We found that the still unknown mass hierarchy is imprinted in the nucleosynthetic products of ν-nuclei [1,2]. In this talk, I will discuss the mechanism of SN ν-process nucleosynthesis and try to constrain the mass hierarchy by comparing our theoretical prediction of nuclear abundances and observed values in the meteorites and spectrascopy study. Among the calculated results, the abundance ratios of 11B/138La and 19F/16Oprovide exclusively sensitive probes to neutrino mass hierarchy [1]. These ratios are also influenced by the mass cut during the ejection phase of SN materials. These facts provide valuable quantitative tools to constrain the mass hierarchy through precise measurements of nuclear abundances of these ν-nuclei in SiC-X pre-solar grains and comprehensive studies of solar-system abundances.

Title:Neutrinos and gravity: multimessenger scenarios
Abstract:Multimessenger astronomy is developing rapidly, and neutrinos are major players in its vast landscape. It is hoped that, in the near future, experimental and theoretical developments will lead to the detection of neutrinos and gravitational waves from the same class of source. I discuss possible scenarios, involving neutrinos and gravitational waves from core collapse supernovae, and from binary mergers of matter-rich compact objects (for example, two neutron stars). I will also discuss tidal disruption events, where a star is torn apart and eventually accreted by a supermassive black hole. These events, which produce flares at infrared, optical and X-ray wavelengths, are sources of sub-Hz gravitational waves, and could emit very high energy neutrinos and cosmic rays. Emphasis will be placed on the feasibility and physics potential of future observations of neutrinos and other messengers from these diverse classes of emitters.

Title: Physical Structures Traced by Chemical Diagnostics in Disk-Forming Regions of Young Low-Mass Protostellar Sources
Abstract:
To understand the origin of the Solar system, the physical/chemical evolution along the star/planet formation is a key issue. With the advent of ALMA, extensive observational studies have revealed that both the physical structure and the chemical composition drastically change during the disk formation around protostars. Furthermore, it has been found that molecular distributions are sensitive to changes in the physical conditions. Some kinds of molecular lines are therefore prospected to work as ‘molecular markers’ to selectively highlight particular structures of disk forming regions.
Specifically, sulfur-bearing species have empirically been good tracers; the kinematic structures of the circummultiple structure, the circumstellar disk, and the outflow lobes are traced by the OCS, H2CS, and SO emission, respectively, in a young low-mass protostellar source IRAS 16293-2422 Source A. The gas in its circummultiple structure was found to keep falling toward its periastron even beyond its centrifugal radius, which is often assumed to be the outer edge of a Keplerian disk.
Angular momentum of the gas is the essential topic to understand the structure formation. The chemical diagnostics with the aid of the molecular markers can be a helpful tool to tackle with the redistribution of the angular momentum among the disk/envelope and outflow structures. Conversely, detailed physical characterization is essential to elucidating the chemical evolution occurring there.
