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: Next Steps Towards Understanding Star Formation: Mapping Dense Gas in Nearby Galaxies
Abstract:
From both a theoretical and an observational perspective, dense gas plays an important role in star formation. Almost all theories of star formation have gas density as a key variable, while observations in the Milky Way and nearby galaxies suggest a close link between dense gas and star formation. Early unresolved observations of nearby galaxies suggested a simple relationship between the amount of dense gas and the amount of star formation in a galaxy. Recent resolved surveys of dense molecular gas in nearby galaxies, however, have shown that the dense gas fraction and the dense gas star formation efficiency ? ratio of the star formation rate to amount of dense gas ? varies within individual galaxies and among different galaxies. Unfortunately, the faintness of the primary dense gas tracers (HCN and HCO+) mean that these studies have been limited to small (5-10) samples of normal galaxies. In this talk, I will discuss recent observations that push the dense molecular gas observations in new directions. First, I will describe recent detections of dense molecular gas in the Local Group Dwarf starburst IC 10. Second, I will present early results from the Dense Extralactic GBT+Argus Survey (DEGAS). The goal of this survey is to map the dense molecular gas in the central 2arcmin of 36 nearby galaxies at moderate (10arcsec) resolution. I will conclude with thoughts on how a large mm cameras on single dish telescopes and more sensitive interferometers could further advance this important science.

Title: The distribution of magnetic field strengths in star-forming regions
Abstract:
“What is the role of magnetic fields for regulating star-forming processes?” It is a long- standing issue in star formation studies. To judge the exact role of magnetic fields in star-forming regions, it is necessary to estimate the magnetic field strengths of those regions.
However, previous studies have estimated a mean magnetic field strength in a whole star-forming region. I suggest a new application to estimate the distribution of magnetic field strengths in a star-forming region. I applied this towards three star-forming regions, the OMC-1 region, Mon
R2 and G28.34 using POL-2/SCUBA-2 on the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope.
In this talk, I will show the magnetic field strengths in those regions and discuss the relative importance between magnetic field, turbulence and gravity.

Title:ニュートリノを基軸とした宇宙のマルチメッセンジャー観測
Abstract:
高エネルギー宇宙ニュートリノは、宇宙のどこかで加速されている超高エネルギー宇宙線が天体内外の光や物質と相互作用することで生成される荷電パイオンの崩壊によって作られる。
同時につくられる中性パイオンの崩壊からはガンマ線が出るので、ニュートリノ天文学と言う時は通常光を使った観測と組み合わせ、マルチメッセンジャー天文学として統合的な宇宙理解を目指す。
特に、ニュートリノは天体内外の加速の現場からの情報を直接伝えてくれるので、粒子加速モデルの鍵となる情報をもたらすことが期待されている。また、ニュートリノのマルチメッセンジャー観測は、ダークマターや標準模型を超える物理に迫る観測をも可能とする。
このような高エネルギー宇宙ニュートリノの観測目指し南極点に建設されたのが世界初となる一立方キロメートルの容量を持つIceCubeニュートリノ望遠鏡だ。本講演ではIceCubeの完成から約10年で得られた成果を紹介し、その成果を踏まえた将来展望について議論する。

Title: A new era of studying extremely dust-obscured massive galaxies in the early Universe with JWST and ALMA
Abstract:
Recent studies have unveiled the existence of extremely dust-obscured massive galaxies at z>3 and into the reionization epoch. This has significant implications for our understanding of early galaxy build-up and the cosmic star formation history. In this talk, I will discuss our recent findings on these galaxies with JWST FRESCO survey and GOODS-ALMA survey. In particular, I will present the advantages of JWST/spectroscopy in studying these galaxies. Based on the unprecedented imaging and spectroscopic data from the JWST FRESCO survey, we can systematically determine their spectroscopic redshifts, thus vastly improving constraints on their physical properties. In addition, I will show several extremely massive dusty galaxies at zspec > 5, that may challenge the current galaxy assembly models. I will discuss their ultra-massive properties, dust-obscured star formation rates, and the possibility of the existence of AGN. I will finish with some of our other recent discoveries and future plans for extremely dust-obscured massive galaxies.

    Supernova remnants (SNRs) supply thermal and kinetic energy, heavy elements, and high energy particles (cosmic rays) into the space, so they are the origin of diversity of the universe. Shocked plasma is heated up to 1-10 MK, and emits thermal X-rays with characteristic X-ray lines from heavy elements, thus X-ray observations are an ideal tool how SNRs play their role in the universe. In this talk, I will introduce several recent topics of SNR science – progenitor science and shock physics.
    Such a study needs excellent energy resolution in the X-ray band in order to resolve emission lines from minor elements and their Doppler motion. On this September, we succeeded to launch XRISM with H2A rocket.
    I also introduce how XRISM is launched and what XRISM will achieve on SNR science.

Title:Observational Planet Formation
Abstract:
It is hard to see a plane cruising at 10 km during daytime, as the plane is
tiny and faint on the sky. But, if we can see the contrail tailed behind the
plane, we know where the plane is. Now, astronomers are applying the same
principle to study how planets form, by detecting and charactering the
structures baby planets produce in their birth cradles – protoplanetary
disks. This is a new field largely driven by discoveries made by some of the
largest and most advanced telescopes ever built. I will introduce the
current status of the field, and highlight some of the latest developments
as well as unsolved problems.

Title: Molecular Spectra Diagnostics with a Bayesian MCMC Approach
Abstract:
The recent improvement in receiver technology within modern facilities has enabled us to efficiently perform wide-band and high-sensitive molecular line surveys. To better extract the information from these wide-band spectral data, we introduce a molecular signal diagnostic tool coupling a non-LTE radiative transfer model and a Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) approach. Based on RADEX (van der Tak et al. 2007), our tool features novel implementations to support multiple components along the line of sight and allow Bayesian inference about physical characteristics. In contrast to a canonical least-squares fit approach, MCMC analyses allow a more efficient exploration of the physical parameter space and provide access to the parameter’s probability distribution, which can be used to characterize the confidence intervals and covariances between parameters. In this talk, following a brief introduction to Bayesian statistics, we will present a case study demonstrating the analysis of molecular line observations from ALMA using this tool. Specifically, we will share the first detection and mapping of the Class I methanol maser at 84 GHz toward the north region of Sagittarius B2 molecular cloud. We resolved the regions where the maser emission originates and assessed their observed spectral profiles respectively. The results suggest a chained two-component model for explaining the intense methanol Class I maser emission toward a region with weak continuum background radiation. In addition, our diagnostic tool will be applied to the spectral line survey, GOTHAM, which has a total bandwidth of 25GHz, to conduct the full chemical census toward the TMC-1 dark cloud.

Title: An Optical Gamma-Ray Burst catalogue with Measured Redshift: Data Release of 533 Gamma-Ray Bursts and colour evolution
Abstract:
Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) are incredibly energetic cosmic phenomena observed across a wide range of wavelengths, including gamma-ray and optical frequencies, and occasionally even in radio waves. They allow extending the Hubble diagram and the cosmological analysis up to redshift z=9.4, much further than Supernovae Ia (z=2.26).
We therefore present a compilation of 533 optical lightcurves (LCs) of all GRBs with measured redshifts, detected mainly by Swift and 418 ground-based telescopes from February 28, 1997, to April 14, 2023. This catalogue is the largest optical repository of GRB LCs with redshifts to date, with 64615 photometric data points, including upper limits. Our user-friendly web tool, grbLC, allows the acquisition of GRB LCs, including information on the position, redshift, and a Gamma-ray Coordinates Network (GCN) crawler that can be used to collect data by gathering magnitudes from the GCNs. The web tool also includes a package for uniformly investigating colour evolution. We have crafted a procedure to distinguish between GRBs in our sample, which undergo colour evolution, and GRBs for which no colour evolution is present. We compared our results with the literature. This web-based archive is the first step towards unifying several community efforts to gather optical LCs by providing a unified format and repository for the optical catalogue. This catalogue will enable population studies by providing LCs with better coverage since we have gathered data from different ground-based locations, resulting in fewer gaps in the LCs and representing crucial support for the LC reconstructions analysis.

Title: Impact of Magma Redox States on Super-Earth Atmospheres:
Unveiling the Connection with Atmospheric Composition
Abstract:
Most exoplanets with radii larger than ~1.6Earth mass are more inflated than bare-rock planets with the same mass, indicating a substantial amount of volatile. While it is hard to constrain the origin of the volatiles or the planet’s bulk composition only from the mass-radius relation, the spectral characterization of their atmospheres is expected to solve this degeneracy. Previous models pointed out that the interaction between the accreted volatile and the likely molten rock (i.e., magma) beneath the atmosphere would affect the atmospheric composition significantly. However, existing models do not clarify the dependence of the atmospheric compositions with major spectral fingerprints on the observable planetary parameters. In this work, we explore the possible range of H, O, and C in the atmosphere of exoplanets as a function of observable planetary parameters (mass, radius, equilibrium temperature) using a simple chemical equilibrium model. Consistent with the previous work, we show that the water fraction in contact with magma ocean is the order of 10^-2~10^-1 if the dry planetary core accretes the nebula gas. Due to the difference in solubility of H-bearing and C-bearing species in molten rock, C/H shows an increase of ×3~10^2. The low values correspond to H2-rich atmospheres while the high values (the order of magnitude difference) correspond to the thin atmosphere with pressure <10^3 bar. Therefore, the C/O remains relatively low in most of the parameter range considered, below one-tenth of the nebula gas value if the atmospheric H2O fraction is over five percent. These trends provide a clue to verify or falsify the formation scenario of super-Earth/sub-Neptune from atmospheric compositions.

Title:
International Scientific Cooperation with North Korea: from Ancient Astronomy to Today

Abstract:
The Korean Peninsula is home to an ancient and unique tradition in astronomy. Beginning with the prehistoric Stone Age and blossoming over the last two thousand years, astronomy is deeply enmeshed in Korean culture. It is unsurprising that North Korea, just like its neighbor to the South, continued this scientfic tradition. Yet astronomy and science in North Korea is still relatively unknown and understudied. Today, North Korean scientists are active participants in the international scientific community across many fields and disciplines. This talk presents the history and future prospects for international scientific cooperation with North Korea with an emphasis on astronomy.
