2012年のふたご座流星群に属する微光流星の自動検出手法の紹介
Abstract
2012年のふたご座流星群を、木曽観測所シュミット望遠鏡+広視野高感度CMOSセンサーで観測したデータの解析を行った。微光流星は背景の明るさと大差が無いため、効率のよい自動検出を行うには工夫をする必要があった。本発表では、私が考案した自動検出の手法をメインに成果を報告する。

Title
Complete Follow-up Spectroscopy of a Protocluster at z~6
Abstract
In the local universe, galaxy clusters play central roles in the large-scale structure
of the universe, and such high-density environments have large effects on galaxy
properties. For understanding the structure formation and galaxy evolution, it is
crucial to directly investigate the progenitors of galaxy clusters. Galaxy protoclusters
are overdense regions in the early universe and considered to grow into rich clusters
seen in the present-day universe. Therefore, protoclusters provide a great deal of
information of early stage of cluster formation for large-scale structure and
environmental effects.
We showed our discovery of a z~6 protocluster in the Subaru Deep Field in the
previous colloquium (Toshikawa et al. 2012, ApJ, 750, 137). And then, we have
carried out deeper and wider follow-up spectroscopy of this protocluster than
previous ones. All candidates of protocluster galaxies were observed with long
exposures, and spectroscopic survey was extended to surrounding region to seek
the large-scale structure. In the colloquium, we present the results of the follow-up
spectroscopy of the protocluster and discuss galaxy distribution and properties at
this first site of galaxy cluster formation.

“The Case for Dark Flow: Theory and Observational evidence for and against cosmic flow, quantum entanglement and parallel universes”
Abstract
In this talk we will review the case for and against a bulk cosmic motion resulting from the quantum entanglement of our universe with the multiverse beyond our horizon. Within the current theory for the selection of the initial state of the universe from the landscape multiverse there is a generic prediction that pre-inflation quantum entanglement with other universes should give rise to a cosmic bulk flow with a correlation length of order horizon size and a velocity field relative to the expansion frame of the universe. Indeed, the parameters of this motion are are tightly constrained. A robust prediction can be deduced indicating that there should be an overall motion of of about 800 km/s relative to the background space time as defined by the cosmic microwave background (CMB). This talk will summarize the underlying theoretical motivation for this hypothesis. Of course our motion relative to the background space time (CMB dipole) has been known for decades and is generally attributed to the gravitational pull of the local super cluster. However, this cosmic peculiar velocity field has been recently deduced out to very large distances well beyond that of the local super cluster by using X-ray galaxy clusters as tracers of matter motion. This is achieved via the kinematic component of the Sunyaev-Zeldovich (KSZ) effect produced by Compton scattering of cosmic microwave background photons from the local hot intracluster gas. As such, this method measures peculiar velocity directly in the frame of the cluster. Similar attempts by our group and others have attempted to independently assess this bulk flow via Type Ia supernova redshifts. In this talk we will review the observation case for and against the existence of this bulk flow based upon the observations and predictions of the theory. If this interpretation is correct it has profound implications in that we may be observing for the first time both the physics that occurred before the big bang and the existence of the multiverse beyond our horizon.
