Title: Observational study of high-mass star formation at the junction of filaments
Abstract:
Understanding high-mass star formation is an important pillar of astronomical research, due to the large impact of such sources on their natal environment.
Various paradigms have been proposed for the formation of such stellar sources, with hub filament systems (HFS) having emerged as an important contender for understanding not only how massive stars form, but also the evolution of a molecular cloud as it collapses and fragments to form stars. In this talk, I present the results of my recent observational analysis of some high-mass star forming regions, carried out using molecular data cubes, complemented by other multiwavelength data. We discuss the complex nature of such star forming regions, the conundrums faced in analysis of hubs and filamentary structures, and the further work one needs to undertake to fully comprehend the connection between(high-mass) star formation and HFS.

Title: A Rogue Planet Hypothesis for the Formation of the Trans-Neptunian Solar System – 太陽系外縁の形成におけるローグ惑星仮説 –
Abstract:
Over the past two decades, our knowledge of the Solar System’s Trans-Neptunian region (often called the Kuiper Belt) has been gradually increasing. Observational surveys have greatly expanded the inventory of Trans-Neptunian Objects (TNOs), which are distant icy bodies thought to be relics from the giant planet formation era. In the distant Kuiper Belt beyond 50~au, several striking features seem to challenge our previous understanding of the early Solar System: 1) a very large population of objects in distant mean-motion resonances with Neptune, 2) a substantial detached population that are not dynamically coupled with Neptune’s effects, and 3) the existence of three very-large perihelion objects, known as Sednoids. I will demonstrate in this talk, that a super-Earth-mass planet temporarily present in the Solar System (referred to as a ‘Rogue Planet’), is able to create all these structures in the distant Kuiper Belt. Such a planet would have formed in the giant planet region and gotten scattered to a highly-eccentric orbit with a few hundred au semimajor axis with a typical lifetime of
100 Myr. Additionally, when examining the past history of the three Sednoids, I surprisingly find that all their apsidal lines were tightly clustered at 200° exactly 4.5 Gyr ago. This “primordial orbital alignment”, if confirmed true, strongly argues for an initial event that imprinted this particular apsidal orientation on early detached TNO population, and the rogue planet model could potentially explain this new phenomenon.

Title:Towards solving an old stellar puzzle: the origin(s) and fate(s) of blue supergiants

Abstract: The origin and fate of observed B-type blue supergiants (BSGs), has been a long-standing puzzle in stellar astrophysics. The majority of these stars are observed to be single (with no detectable companion), and populate the end of the main sequence (MS) and the Hertzsprung gap on the HR diagram. However, models of stars that are born alone, have found limited success in simultaneously explaining the measured physical and chemical properties of BSGs, thereby indicating that a different evolutionary channel may dominate their creation. In this talk, I will present novel models of stars that are born from the mergers of binaries containing giant stars and MS companions. To compare our models, we newly analysed a large sample of early B-type supergiants in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and derived their surface properties. Unlike classical single-star models, merger-born stars sustain their BSG status throughout their core He-burning phase and quite easily populate the traditional Hertzsprung gap. We find that the largest group of the observed sample are likely only born from mergers, a smaller second group may contain both born-alone stars and merger-born stars and the minority are likely MS single stars. Although supernova SN 1987A is the most famous explosion of a BSG, the rate of 87A-like events is lower than the observed number of BSGs. I will close the talk with possibilities of other transients and remnants that may be the final outcomes of the deaths of BSGs.

Title: Inferring the evolution pathways and the explosion mechanism of core-collapse supernova through late-phase spectroscopy
Abstract:
Core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) are considered as the final explosions of massive stars, following the depletion of the nuclear products in their cores. These catastrophe events are diverse in observation especially the chemical composition in the expelled material (ejecta), which implies varied mass-loss histories preceding the explosion. Despite over a century of discoveries, the mechanism responsible for the diversity in CCSNe, and its potential connection with the still-unresolved core-collapse process, is still a topic of active debate. In this talk, I will introduce the application of late-phase (nebular) spectroscopy of CCSNe to reveal these longstanding mysteries. Beginning with the fundamental concepts of CCSNe, I will provide an overview of the physical quantities that can be inferred from nebular spectroscopy. Next, I will demonstrate how the statistics analysis of nebular spectroscopy can be employed to constrain the properties of the progenitor, the dynamics of the ejecta, and their mutual relations. This investigation suggests massive stars leads to more aspheric and energetic explosions. Finally, I will introduce my future research plan, which aims to connect the diverse pre-SN activities discovered by recent transient surveys with the properties of their progenitors.

Title: Origin of high-ionization lines found in extremely metal poor galaxies.
Abstract:
The extreme metal poor galaxies (EMPG) exhibit intense high-ionization emission lines, such as He II4686, unexplained by stellar synthesis models. Umeda et al. (2022) employed CLOUDY and MCMC to reproduce the observed spectrum, revealing an unidentified non-thermal radiation source. In this study, we introduce [Ne V]3426 emission (97.1 eV) and estimate spectral indices and luminosities for EMPGs in the 54.4-97.1 eV range. Confirming that non-thermal radiation dominates the 54.4-97.1 eV range for all the galaxies with [Ne V]3426 detections, we discuss the origin of the non-thermal radiation.

Title: Synthesis of Sc, Ti, and V in core-collapse supernovae
Abstract:
A supernova explosion is an explosive phenomenon that occurs at the end of the life of a massive star. However, the explosion mechanism has not yet been clarified. As a clue to investigate the explosion mechanism, we focused on nucleosynthesis. Metal-poor stars reflect the result of explosive nucleosynthesis in supernova explosions of first stars, and reproducing the chemical abundances of metal-poor stars is one of the important issues in the nucleosynthetic calculation. Recently correlations among Sc, Ti, and V are observationally identified.
Nevertheless, the abundances of Sc, Ti, and V in metal-poor stars have not been reproduced by nucleosynthesis calculations based on the results of hydrodynamical simulation. This is because one of the possible causes is that the explosion mechanism is not yet understood. Then, we attempted to constrain the explosion mechanism by (1) performing nucleosynthesis calculations with setting temperature, density, neutrino flux, etc. as parameters to find physical conditions which reproduce the observed chemical composition of metal-poor stars, and (2) examining the feasibility of these conditions by comparing them with 2D explosion simulations. In this talk, the progress of (1) and (2) will be discussed.

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.
