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: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.

Title: Galactic Structure and Evolution: What 3D Magnetic Field Observations Are Revealing
Abstract:
Recent observations have significantly advanced our understanding of the three-dimensional (3D) structure and evolution of the interstellar medium (ISM). To fully comprehend ISM evolution, however, it is necessary to study interstellar magnetic fields, which play a pivotal role in the evolution of the galaxy and the formation of stars. Despite their importance, our understanding of magnetic fields in the ISM is limited due to significant challenges in observing them in 3D. In this talk, I will briefly discuss how we overcame the challenges in determining the 3D magnetic fields associated with giant molecular clouds. These 3D fields enabled us to propose step-by-step scenarios to explain the formation of these clouds, revealing previously undiscovered interstellar structure. Our approach involves a novel technique based on Faraday rotation measurements to detect the line- of-sight component of magnetic fields. We then integrate these line-of-sight measurements with plane-of-sky magnetic field observations to examine the 3D magnetic field morphology associated with the clouds. Finally, we employ Galactic magnetic field models to reconstruct the complete 3D magnetic field morphologies of these clouds, including their previously unknown direction. These 3D studies provide novel constraints on theories for the formation and evolution of star-forming clouds.

Title: Chemical Evolution from AGB stars to Planetary Nebulae: A spectral-line survey of the Egg Nebula (CRL 2688)
Abstract:
Carbon-rich stars on the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) are major sources of gas and dust in the interstellar medium. AGB stars remain
in this stage for 1 to 10 Myrs, and have typical masses of 1–8 Msun and mass loss rates of 10^(−7) to 10^(−4) Msun/yr. During the
brief (∼1000 yr) period in the evolution from the AGB to Planetary Nebula (PN) there is a dramatic change in the morphology from nearly
spherical symmetry to bipolar, quadrupolar and more complex structures.
Because of the brief duration of this Proto-Planetary Nebula (PPN) phase and the poor angular resolution of most prior molecular line
observations (>= 15″– 20″), the physical mechanisms governing the AGB -> PPN -> PN transition and the accompanying chemical processes
are poorly understood.

Using the Submillimeter Array (SMA), we have previously carried out spectral-line surveys of CRL 618, NGC 7027, and IRC+10216. In this
talk, I will present preliminary results from a spectral-line survey of CRL2688 (Egg Nebula), which is a well known PPN with multiple
outflows and shell-like structures discovered in HST images.
Together, these unbiased surveys of the 4 prototypical carbon rich objects which span the evolutionary sequence from the AGB to fully
formed planetary nebula — IRC+10216 (AGB), CRL 2688 (early PPN), CRL 618 (PPN) and NGC 7027 (PN) — have the potential of unravelling
the physical and chemical evolution of circumstellar envelopes from AGB to PN.

The SMA line survey of CRL 2688 covers the frequency range of 224–266 GHz, with an rms noise level of 100~150 mJy/beam in 1 km/s
wide channels. About 130 lines are detected in the 42 GHz coverage; all the detected lines have been identified. Lines of silicon
bearing species such as SiCC and SiS are much weaker (compared to those seen in IRC+10216). Several lines show morphological features
corresponding to the multiple outflows in this source (HCN, CS), and the disk like structure (CH3CN,SiS). The channel maps show an
S-shaped morphology for the bipolar lobes in CS and HCN, clear indication of a precessing/wobbling jet or two jets with different
axes. It is interesting to see Si bearing molecules, and weak lines of c-C3H2 in CRL 2688, whereas this molecule is one of the most
abundant in CRL 618 (with more than 150 lines in that survey). Maps of a few of the trace species — the first images obtained for most
of these — reveal diverse angular distributions, allowing us to distinguish the different regions in which each species is present
in this complex source.

タイトル:Astronomical instruments on a chip – Getting ready for the next-generation telescopes

Abstract:
Astrophotonics is the application of versatile photonic technologies to channel, manipulate, and disperse guided light from one or more telescopes to achieve scientific objectives in astronomy in an efficient and cost-effective way. The photonic platform of guided light in fibers and waveguides has opened the doors to next-generation instrumentation for both ground- and space-based telescopes in optical and near/mid-IR bands, particularly for the large and extremely large telescopes (ELTs). Utilizing the photonic advantage for astronomical spectroscopy is a promising approach to massively miniaturize the next generation of spectrometers for large ground- and space-based telescopes. In this talk, I will discuss some of the recent results from our efforts to design and fabricate high-throughput on-chip spectrometers based on Arrayed Waveguide Gratings (AWG). These devices are ideally suited for capturing the AO-corrected light and enabling exciting science cases, such as measuring exoplanet masses and characterizing exoplanet atmospheres. I will also discuss specific approaches to make this technology science-ready for the ELT era.

Title:Building the Next Generation Event Horizon Telescope

Abstract:The next-generation Event Horizon Telescope (ngEHT) will be a transformative upgrade to the EHT, that will allow us to create time-lapse movies of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) at event horizon scales. By enhancing the angular resolution, dynamic range, and improved temporal coverage, the ngEHT promises a new era of discovery in black hole science, allowing us to study strong-field gravity features predicted by General Relativity (GR), active accretion, and relativistic jet launching processes. The ngEHT program aims to achieve these goals by adding four 10m-class submillimeter dishes at new geographic locations around the globe, for improved spatial frequency coverage. Several of the existing EHT stations will have upgraded receivers and fore-optics for simultaneous multifrequency observations (86, 230 and 345 GHz), and new backends and data recorders with significantly higher data rates (up to 320 Gb/s). The ngEHT will allow longer duration high cadence observations allowing creation of movies of black holes and jets. This talk will describe the ngEHT’s technical plans, design considerations, station siting, and the project’s timeline.

Title: Elucidation of anomalies in the HCN(J=1-0)/CO(J=1-0) intensity ratio using nearby Seyfert galaxy

Abstract:
Galaxies and black holes co-evolve. To understand co-evolution, it is necessary to clarify the phenomenon of AGN. To clarify galaxy evolution, we focused on AGN. The phenomenon of AGN can affect the properties of molecular gases, which is why we are studying molecular gases.
HCN(1-0), which traces dense gas, has been used in investigating the physics of AGN.
We focused our study on NGC 1068, a nearby Seyfert galaxy(distance of about 14 Mpc). This galaxy has an AGN and is considered to have a typical stellar mass. It also has a circumnuclear disk (CND) of gas (radius ~0.2 kpc) surrounding the AGN. Therefore, we focused on this galaxy.
In addition to our group’s own data, we collected and synthesized archived data from ALMA telescopes around the world and used high-quality data to observe HCN and CO in NGC 1068. The HCN/CO intensity ratio was created and a maximum value of 1.09 was obtained. This value is unusually higher than the galaxy’s typical value of 0.1. The cause may be abnormal abundance or excitation. We will discuss the cause of the unusually high HCN/CO intensity ratios observed around the CND.

Title: Excursion beyond the Standard Model Physics- Gravitational Waves and Beyond
Abstract:
The standard model of particle physics, even though very successful, however is incomplete. It fails to explain the origin of the matter-antimatter asymmetry, neutrino masses and have any suitable candidates for dark matter. Within the framework of the standard model electroweak phase transition is crossover in nature. Hence a lot of beyond the standard model theories have been established in both particle physics and cosmology to overcome these shortcomings. The recent results from NANOGrav have also established the existence of secondary or stochastic gravitational waves. In this talk, I will go through some models with the main focus being the creation of these stochastic gravitational waves due to a first order phase transition.

This talk will be primarily based on JCAP 01 (2018) 032, Phys.Rev.D
106 (2022) 9, 095016 and arXiv: 2404.10288 .

Title: Gas-phase Astrochemistry: Successes and Challenges

Abstract: The importance of astrochemistry in elucidating physical conditions and processes in astronomy has grown remarkably in recent years in response to the development of novel instruments and observational facilities. As a result, astrochemical techniques are applied to a wide range of astronomical objects, from the solar system to star birth and death, to exoplanet atmospheres, to galaxies and even to the early evolution of the universe. In this talk, I will give a brief history of the development of the subject from its conception around 1950 to its birth, eventually induced by radio astronomy, in 1973.

The importance of astrochemistry as an essentially interdisciplinary discipline will be stressed given the need for gas-phase reaction rate coefficients over a wide temperature range as well as chemistry in and on icy grain mantles. I will introduce the new release of the UMIST Database for Astrochemistry (UDfA) that reflects the additional chemistry needed to model the 100 or so new molecules detected in the last decade.

I will also describe some results from the ATOMIUM project, an ALMA Large Program, aimed at understanding dust formation around O-rich AGB stars. A surprise finding is that all targets have density distributions that appear to be driven by the presence of a binary companion. ATOMIUM results, and ALMA observations of ‘unexpected’ complex molecules at a few stellar radii in the C-rich star IRC+10216, have shown the importance of UV photons from binary companions in determining the chemistry of their inner winds. I will discuss some attempts to explain these results and will finish with some challenges for the future development of the subject.
