タイトル: 大型サブミリ波望遠鏡 LST 計画とミリ波補償光学の開発

Abstract:
この10年あまり、ALMAの登場によりサブミリ波天文学が一気に花開いた一方、視野と分光帯域(赤方偏移空間)のせまさに苦しんできた。事実、ALMAを使った多くの研究は、既知の天体の高精細観測に集中している。未知の天体を探すには、感度を保持したまま探査体積を極限まで拡大する性能が必要だ。近年隆盛をみる直接光子検出方式は10^5画素カメラや50倍の帯域をカバーする分光器を実現し、今なお指数関数的に性能を向上させている。ALMAが培ってきたコヒーレント受信方式に加え、こうした新たなオプションを大口径かつ広視野のサブミリ波望遠鏡と組み合わせれば、宇宙探査体積の劇的な拡大を実現することが可能となる。
大型サブミリ波望遠鏡 (LST) 計画は、このような視野と分光帯域の拡大を企図した次世代50m級単一開口電波望遠鏡計画である。本講演の前半では、LST計画の概要や現在の活動状況をお話し、国立天文台ATCとのシナジーを探りたい。また、本講演の後半では、LSTを実現するにあたって最大の技術的課題がなにかを示した上で、ミリ波からサブミリ波にかけての波面計測と実時間制御を目的とした「ミリ波補償光学」のコンセプトと野辺山45m望遠鏡による実証実験の結果を示し、今後の開発の方向性を議論したい。

Title: Molecular clouds form out of the surrounding diffuse gas through the conversion of atomic (HI) to molecular hydrogen (H2), and previous Galactic and extragalactic observations have suggested that this HI-to-H2 transition is a major bottleneck process toward star formation. Among two main flavors of HI, the cold and warm neutral medium (CNM and WNM), the cold component is expected to play a critical role. For example, the CNM is far more effective at forming and shielding H2 thanks to its higher density. In addition, numerical simulations have found that CNM structures have physical properties that resemble those of molecular clouds, implying that the initial conditions for star formation are set before the gas becomes molecular. Despite its vital importance for the HI-to-H2 transition and ensuing star formation, however, the CNM in and around molecular clouds remains largely unexplored. In this talk, I will describe my attempts for the last few years to understand the roles of the CNM in the formation and evolution of molecular clouds and present some preliminary results from these attempts. At the end of the talk, I will also discuss possible follow-up studies with ALMA.

Title: Time variation in mas accretion rate on protostars due to merging molecular cloud cores
Abstract: According to the standard theory of star formation, a star forms from a molecular cloud core. It has also been assumed that the physical state of the core determines the evolution and formation of protostars that occur inside the core once it is formed. However, recent observational and theoretical studies suggest that the physical state of the core may be strongly affected by surrounding influences such as accretion and merging/collisions(e.g., Shimajiri et al. 2019; Takemura et al. 2021). For example, hub filament structures may affect the core as global structures of the molecular clouds. If the accretion rate changes as external gas accretes to the hub’s core, it would also affect protostellar outflow. Thus, toward a full understanding of how stars form under realistic conditions, it is important to understand the effects of the core external environments. In this study, we investigate how the mass accretion rate to a central protostar changes when the stable core merges into the core with a protostar formed in the center from the outside. And we use 3D numerical simulations. The results show that core merging increases the mass accretion rate.
