Title: ALMA follow-up of ∼3,000 red-Herschel galaxies: the nature of extreme submillimeter galaxies.
Abstract: Understanding the physical properties of Submillimeter Galaxies (SMGs), as well as their formation and evolution within the large-scale structure of the Universe, is a challenging task even these days. These galaxies, which have extreme infrared luminosities (L$_IR$>10^{12} L$_{\odot}$) and intense star formation rates (SFR>100 M$_{\odot}$/yr), are known to contribute significantly to the cosmic star formation history at z>2.
In this work, we present the analysis of over 3,000 red-Herschel sources (𝑆_250𝜇m < 𝑆_350𝜇m < 𝑆_500𝜇m ) using public data from the ALMA archive and the Herschel-ATLAS survey. This represents the largest sample of red-Herschel sources with interferometric follow-up observations to date.
The high ALMA angular resolution and sensitivity allow us to classify the sample into individual sources, potential lenses and/or close mergers, and multiple systems. Some of these multiple systems are likely galaxy overdensities at the same redshifts tracing high-redshift galaxy proto-clusters.
We performed spectral energy distribution (SED) fits for all the sources, combining the ALMA 1.3 mm fluxes and the optimized Herschel/SPIRE photometry (extracted through a deblending technique). This allows us to derive different physical properties (e.g. redshift distribution, LIR, SFR, gas/dust masses, etc) and characterize the extreme nature of this population. The main results from this large survey and recent follow-ups with the VLA and LMT will be presented in this talk.

Title: Numerical Challenges in Computational Astrochemistry
Abstract: Astrophysical numerical models encounter substantial computational challenges when integrating complex, time-dependent chemistry with physical processes. To address these issues, I will present the use of autoencoders for the dimensionality reduction of chemical networks, enabling efficient solutions with standard ODE solvers while preserving key network features. Additionally, I will discuss the application of interpretable machine learning techniques to connect synthetic spectra with model parameters, facilitating the assessment of information retention in observational data.

Title:Powerful supernovae from collapses of rotating massive stars
Abstract: Massive stars, with more than about ten times the mass of the Sun, eventually become gravitationally unstable and begin to collapse. Some of these collapsing stars explode as supernovae, which then leave behind neutron stars. However, in cases where the collapsing core of the star is too compact, the explosion can fail, leading to the formation of a black hole instead.

When the star rotates rapidly, the stellar envelope can form a disk around this new black hole. This black hole-disk system may release energy, and it is thought to be a key driver of gamma-ray bursts — intense, brief flashes of gamma rays from space. Some gamma-ray bursts are followed by unusually powerful supernovae, with energy about ten times higher than typical supernovae. How this large amount of energy and radioactive nickel, which makes these supernovae so bright, are produced is still a mystery.

Over recent decades, it has been suggested that outflows from the disk around the black hole might explain these energetic supernovae. With advances in computer simulations, we can now model complex processes, including fluid dynamics, neutrino interactions, and changing spacetime, to test this idea. My simulations show that the disk outflows in these “collapsar” systems can indeed produce the powerful explosion energy and the large amount of nickel seen in these exceptional supernovae.

Title: Properties of molecular cloud in the outer Milky Way
Abstract:
Understanding the origin of stellar initial mass function (IMF) is a central issue in the study of star formation. The past studies of dense cores reported that the slope of the stellar IMF and core mass function (CMF) are consistent, suggesting that the fundamental mass distribution of stars is determined during the early stage of the core formation. However, dense cores have been observed and studied only in the inner part of the Galactic plane (including the solar neighborhood), which has similar metallicity to that of the solar neighborhood. Thus, an important question to address is whether the same relation between the CMF and stellar IMF holds true even in low-metallicity environments. To solve this question, we performed CO and dust continuum ALMA high-resolution (~0.1 pc scale) mapping observation toward a massive star-forming molecular cloud in the outer Galaxy, which has much lower gas density and lower metallicity (~20 % of the solar neighborhood value) than those in the solar neighborhood . As a result, we successfully detected ~0.1 pc-wide filament structures and ~ 0.1 pc-scale dense core structures in the outer Galaxy for the first time. We found that the properties of the filaments and dense cores are similar to those in the solar neighborhood. We also found that the slope of the CMF in the outer Galaxy is similar to that of the universal IMF. These results suggest that the star formation processes in the low-metallicity environment follow a universal law.

Title : The formation and influence of star-forming clumps in high redshift galaxies

Clumps have been found to dominate star formation in gas-rich (z > 1) galaxies,
thereby driving their overall evolution. I will discuss recent results from a
collection of works on this topic, that utilize public data from the James Webb
Space Telescope (JWST) and the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) to understand
the role of clumps in galaxy evolution during the latter phase of the Cosmic
Noon (z = 1 – 2).

  1. Clumps can now be detected and studied across rest-frame UV to near-IR wavelengths.
    Therefore, we conduct a stellar-mass tracing morphological analysis of the host galaxies.
  2. We observe a clear evolution of galaxies from being clumpy to bulge-dominated,
    revealing how galaxy morphologies and their substructures evolve over cosmic time.
  3. We estimate a clump mass-size relation along with a stellar mass function,
    finding them to match the theoretical expectations for clumps forming due to
    instability-driven coherent collapse. Thus, we observationally verify the disk
    instability formation scenario even for the most massive of these structures.
  4. Our measurements (and predictions) are consistent with the properties of clumps
    in z > 1 lensed systems, bridging the long-standing gap between lensed and unlensed
    studies. Thus, we build a coherent picture of clump formation across various
    observational scales.
  5. We establish the clear coexistence of spiral arms and star-forming clumps,
    which is important for understanding the dynamical stability of the gaseous and
    stellar components of galaxies.

Title: An extremely Young Protostellar Core, MMS1/OMC-3: Episodic mass ejection history traced by the micro SiO jet.

High-angular resolution and high sensitivity achieved with ALMA enabled us to detect candidates of extremely young protostellar sources, which are not detected even at 70um while exhibit very compact / young molecular jet (~1000 au / ~100 yr). They are considered to be in a phase right after the protostar formation and show the first mass ejection history. In this talk, I present ~0.2 arcsec resolution observations of the CO (2–1) and SiO (5–4) lines made with the ALMA toward an extremely young intermediate-mass protostellar source, MMS 1 located in the Orion Molecular Cloud-3 region. We have successfully imaged a very compact CO molecular outflow (~2000 au) and a collimated SiO jet (< 1000 au). The maximum jet speed is estimated to be as high as 93 km/s. The SiO jet wiggles and displays a chain of knots. These are the first direct evidences that MMS 1 already hosts a protostar. The position-velocity (PV) diagram shows two distinct structures: (i) bow-shocks associated with the tips of the outflow, and (ii) a collimated jet, showing the jet velocities linearly increasing with the distance from the driving source. Comparisons between the observations and numerical simulations quantitatively share similarities such as multiple-mass ejection events within the jet and Hubble-like flow associated with each mass ejection event. Finally, our ALMA jet study was compared with a submillimeter flux variability study performed with JCMT/SCUBA2. While there is a weak flux decline seen in the 850um light curve obtained with JCMT/SCUBA2 toward MMS1, no dramatic flux change events are detected. This suggests that there has not been a clear burst event associated with the mass accretion onto the protostar within the last 8 years.

Title: Submillimeter Extragalactic Background Light and Galaxy Number Counts

Abstract:
The extragalactic background light (EBL) is the cumulative radiation from beyond
our Milky Way galaxy and is essential for understanding cosmic history. However,
the origin of the EBL at submillimeter wavelengths, particularly near the peak
of the cosmic infrared background, remains uncertain. To investigate this, we
conducted galaxy number counts to determine the origin of the 450 micron EBL
using SCUBA-2 observations in 10 massive galaxy cluster fields. The strong
gravitational lensing provided by these clusters allows us to construct
ultra-deep number counts, over ten times deeper than those obtained from blank
fields. By carefully accounting for possible systematics, we achieved significant
counts down to ~0.1 mJy. Comparing our measurements to those made by the COBE
satellite, we found that at the sub-mJy level, the 450 micron EBL is entirely
resolved. Thus, we present the first evidence that discrete sources, likely of
extragalactic origin, fully contribute to the 450 micron EBL, with about half
of it originating from sources with sub-mJy flux densities. In this talk, I will
introduce the submillimeter EBL, describe how we conduct galaxy number counts in
the submillimeter regime, and present my recent works.
