Title: Galaxy evolution with galaxy mergers
Abstract:
In the framework of hierarchical structure formation based on
cold dark matter, galaxies like the Milky Way grow up through
numerous interactions and mergers of many less massive galaxies.
These signatures are mainly imprinted in the halo region.
In recent years, the Gaia project and the Subaru HSC survey have
revealed many tidal remnants in the haloes of the Milky Way and
Andromeda galaxy, respectively. In this talk, I will provide an overview of
the halo formation process revealed by a combination of observations
and numerical simulations, referring to recent observational progress.
I also focus on the interaction between massive galaxies. I will introduce
the relationship between AGN activity, galaxy density, and interaction of
galaxies based on our recent observations and numerical simulations.

Title: Collisional evolution from dust to planets

Abstract:
Planets were believed to form via the accretion of planetesimals
generated from dust grains in protoplanetary disks. However, the
growth of planets is much slower than their migration due to
disk-planet interaction. Comparably rapid growth via pebble
accretion was then proposed, which requires very massive
protoplanetary disks because most pebbles fall into the central
star. Although planetesimal formation, planetary migration, and
planetary growth have been studied with much effort, the full
evolution path from dust to planets was uncertain. We have
investigated full collisional evolution from dust to planets.
For collisional evolution, collisional outcomes are not simply
characterized as fragmentation, bouncing, etc. The impact
simulations for dust aggregates showed the detailed
outcomes. According to the outcome model, the growth of dust
grains are not prevent from collisional fragmentation. We thus
perform the full simulations (DTPSs) for collisional evolution
from dust to planet in whole protoplanetary disks. Dust growth
with high porosity allows the formation of icy planetesimals in
the inner disk (< 10 au), while pebbles formed in the outer
disk drift to the inner disk and there grow to planetesimals.
The growth of those pebbles to planetesimals suppresses their
radial drift and supplies small planetesimals sustainably in the
vicinity of cores. This enables rapid formation of sufficiently
massive planetary cores within 0.2-0.4 million years, prior to
the planetary migration. However, such porous pebbles are
unlikely to reproduce the polarized millimeter wavelength light
observed from protoplanetary disks. We thus investigate gas-giant
core formation with non-porous pebbles via DTPSs. Even non-porous
bodies can grow into planetesimals and massive cores to be gas
giants are also formed in several 100 thousand years. The rapid core
formation is mainly via the accretion of planetesimals produced
by collisional coagulation of pebbles drifting from the outer
disk. The formation mechanism is similar to the case with porous
pebbles, while core formation occurs in a wider
region (5-10 au) than that with porous pebbles. Although
pebble growth and core formation depends on the disk temperature,
core formation is likely to occur with disk temperatures in
typical optical thick disks around protostars.

Title: From Wide to Deep: The Quest for the Most Distant Universe with JWST and ALMA

Abstract: Finding and characterizing the earliest systems is crucial for answering fundamental cosmological questions such as the emergence of the first galaxies and black holes, as well as the cosmic reionization process. The advent of JWST has significantly advanced our capability to detect and analyze systems from the early universe, now identifying candidates out to z~17. Simultaneously, submm/mm observations have gained prominence, providing complementary insights into the characteristics of cold dust and gas. In this talk, I will overview my recent quest to explore the most distant universe. My strategy combines JWST, ALMA, and Gravitational Lensing for the most sensitive and comprehensive investigations of the earliest epochs. Our systematic JWST spectroscopic survey confirms the remarkably high abundance of z>9 luminous galaxies recently claimed from photometric measurements. By establishing the largest faint mm sample ever from the ALMA Lensing Cluster Survey, we also derive the infrared luminosity function and find a possible excess in the total (=unobscured + dust-obscured) cosmic star formation history estimate at z~4-8, compared to previously established measurements. A total of ~150 hours of our JWST and ALMA joint follow-up observations for a strongly lensed early galaxy resolve a single disk-like structure into at least 15 individual young massive star clusters with effective radii of 10-50pc, which dominate 70% of the galaxy’s total flux and are embedded in a smooth rotating disk (V/σ~3). This indicates that the feedback effect is significantly weak, providing a plausible physical explanation for the enhanced star-forming activities in the early universe, unveiled by our recent rest-UV and FIR studies above. At the end of my talk, I will also share some of my latest experiences with job applications in overseas countries.

Title: Radiation hydrodynamics simulations of massive star cluster formation

Abstract:
Globular clusters (GCs) are believed to form in early galaxies, but the formation mechanism of GCs are still debated. In the star cluster formation, radiative feedback hampers star formation and increase of stellar density. Hence, the stellar feedback is a key factor in determination of star cluster properties. In this talk, I will review the star cluster formation and star formation quenching mechanisms, and introduce our recent simulations of massive star cluster formation and metal enrichment in the GC formation.

Title:Insights into Chemical Complexity and Diversity in Young Stellar Object
Abstract:Over 300 molecular species have been identified in the interstellar medium and circumstellar shells, revealing a diverse landscape of chemical complexity. Young Stellar Objects (YSOs) exhibit a wide variety of both simple and complex organic molecules (COMs), intricately linked to their physical properties and evolutionary stages. These objects play a pivotal role in shaping their surroundings, acting as potent sources of radiative and mechanical feedback that significantly influence the formation of interstellar molecules. Analyzing the millimeter and submillimeter spectra of YSOs offers crucial clues to the formation of numerous COMs, enhancing our understanding of the chemical complexity within these stellar nurseries. In this talk, I will discuss observational results from a large sample of YSOs and elaborate on how chemical diversity depends on the physical properties of the sources. I will also present astrochemical modeling results to describe the chemical evolution of several species and discuss how these models can be used to infer chemical origin and the physical properties of YSOs. By summarizing the current state of observational studies and astrochemical models, this presentation aims to elucidate the processes through which chemical complexity is attained in diverse YSOs.

Title:Tracing the impact of Evolved Stars on the Galactic Chemical enrichment (ESGC)

Abstract:
In this presentation, I will discuss ESGC project, which is awarded funding from the Research Council of Norway.
The primary focus of the project is on evolved stars and their impact on enriching the chemical composition of interstellar mediums and galaxies.
I will begin by providing an introduction to evolved stars and the chemistry active in their outflow.
Solar-type stars eject a substantial amount of heavy elements and dust particles to the interstellar medium through strong stellar winds at late phases of stellar evolution, known as the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) phase, and therefore significantly influence the chemical composition of galaxies.In ESGC project, we aim to target two main gaps in our knowledge that can be significantly advanced with current observational facilities, new laboratory molecular data, and upgraded chemical models. These gaps concern the role of AGB stars in the production of fluorine in our Galaxy, which is an essential element for the maintenance of solidity in our bones and teeth, and the impact of a chromospheric UV radiation field on the chemistry and dust-formation process around AGB stars. Through this project, we aim to create a more realistic picture of the recycled materials and stardust from evolved stars by considering the impact of internal UV radiation in the chemical models. Finally, I will outline the observational and simulation approaches we are planning to use to achieve the main objectives of the project and highlighting the unique opportunities associated with each approach.

Title: Constraining Magnetic Activity Latitudes in Sun-like Stars using asteroseismology

Abstract:
I will discuss a recently developed framework for measuring the activity of Sun-like stars and constraining the latitudes of magnetic activity (Benomar et al. 2023). This framework expresses in a phenomenological manner the effects of activity on low-degree pulsation frequencies, which are global standing waves within stars. Due to various effects, a star is not exactly spherical, and neither is the cavity in which those global modes propagate. The main reason for the departure from sphericity of the mode cavities is the centrifugal force. As this effect is proportional to the square of the rotation rate, it becomes increasingly important as rotation increases. Another cause of asphericity is the magnetic field. A strong magnetic field, such as the one observed in the Sun’s active zones and localized in a specific region of the star, changes the propagation path of the waves and eventually results in a perturbation of the overall cavity shapes of global modes.

Here, I will first show that utilizing a simple single-band activity model on Sun-like stars, it is possible to determine the active latitudes of a star. The method is demonstrated to work on solar data
using the VIRGO instrument aboard the SoHo satellite. I will also show that in an ensemble of 103 Kepler stars, many exhibit signs of activity.

The results indicate a complex pattern of activity bands that essentially depend on stellar effective temperature and stellar rotation. This latter work may provide new insights into the longstanding question about the processes surrounding the dynamo mechanism in other stars.

Title: Do stellar flare fluxes indicate a presence of cool loops ?

Abstract:
On the Sun we routinely resolve the flare ribbons and overlying loop arcades, while stellar fluxes integrate the emission from both. Stellar flare spectra and light curves are usually interpreted in terms of heating of the lower atmospheric layers (ribbons), using the radiation-hydrodynamical simulations (RADYN or FLARIX codes). However, the loop arcades on cool stars are expected to be extended and namely cool loops can thus contribute significantly to flare fluxes. This idea was implemented by Heinzel and Shibata (2018) for Kepler white-light observations. Later on, motivated by TESS observations, MHD simulations of loops have been performed to interpret the observed secondary flare peaks (Yang et al. 2023). The loop arcade was also inferred from time-modulated TESS light curves (Bicz et al. 2023). On the other hand, high-dispersion line spectroscopy shows the signatures of cool-plasma downflows in flare loops which is consistent with the non-LTE radiative-transfer simulations (Wollmann et al. 2023). We will review these new findings and discuss future prospects.

Title: Mysterious fast radio bursts and the new radio telescope in
Taiwan: BURSTT
Abstract:
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are mysterious coherent radio pulses with millisecond timescales, most of which emerge from galaxies at cosmological distances. Uncovering the origin of FRBs is one of the central foci in astronomy. However, their origin is yet to be known due to the major observational challenge of FRBs: when and where they happen in the sky are unknown. Bustling Universe Radio Survey Telescope in Taiwan (BURSTT) is a new radio array dedicated to detecting mysterious FRBs in the nearby Universe. Within a few years, BURSTT will overcome this observational challenge with its unique capabilities of nearly all-sky monitoring (10,000 deg2) and accurate localization (< 1 arcsec), and none of the current FRB facilities have both of these capabilities.
In this presentation, I will summarize the expected science cases with unique FRB samples of BURSTT. In contrast to the current FRB facilities, BURSTT will observe the same sky as multi-messenger instruments, including gravitational waves and neutrinos. This BURSTT’s design will maximize the chance of the simultaneous detection of multi-messengers or multi-wavelength counterparts, which would strongly constrain the FRB progenitor scenarios. BURSTT will provide a unique window into FRB applications from environments, progenitors, to cosmology.

Title:Eyes on the Invisible: Charting New Horizons with the Event Horizon Telescope

Abstract:The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) collaboration has captured the first image of a black hole’s event horizon in the galaxy M87, and subsequently, in the supermassive black hole at the center of our Milky Way, SgrA. More recently, the collaboration has released the first follow-up image of M87, utilizing observations from April 2018. The EHT has also revolutionized our understanding of the relativistic jets commonly present in active galactic nuclei, revealing the processes governing the jet formation, collimation and acceleration with an unprecedented angular resolution. The upcoming next-generation Event Horizon Telescope (ngEHT) is poised to significantly upgrade the current system by adding new stations and introducing multi-frequency observational capabilities. These will notably improve the ngEHT’s angular resolution, dynamic range, and overall coverage. This expansion is crucial for enabling the ngEHT to create the first movies of black holes, a leap forward in understanding the processes of black hole accretion and the formation of relativistic jets. In addition, the ngEHT’s advanced features will be instrumental in exploring alternative theories to General Relativity and will expand our observational reach to include potentially a dozen new black holes. By adding an orbiting antenna, the Black Hole Explorer (BHEX), a potential NASA mission, will discover and measure the bright and narrow “photon ring” that is predicted to exist in images of black holes, and fully encodes the space-time metric.
