The Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE) and Its Southern Hemisphere Extension (APOGEE-South)
Abstract
The Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE) in SDSS-III is a large-scale, near-infrared, high-resolution (R >~ 22,500) spectroscopic survey of the Milky Way (MW) using a newly-constructed, 300-fiber, cryogenic spectrograph operating over 1.51-1.68 microns (i.e., most of the H-band).
Because of the lower H band dust extinction compared to optical wavelengths (A_H/A_V = 0.16), APOGEE will effectively pierce through dust obscuration to provide a vast, uniform database of chemical abundances and radial velocities for stars across all Galactic populations (bulge, thin and thick disks, halo).
APOGEE started observations in May 2011 and will use the remaining ~3 years of SDSS-III bright time to observe ~100,000 giant star candidates selected from the Two Micron All-Sky Survey (2MASS) down to H=11-13.5 across hundreds of sightlines.
With its high resolution and S/N (>100 per pixel), APOGEE will determine precision radial velocities (presently 200 m/s accuracy) and accurate abundances for numerous chemical species, including C, N, O and Fe, as well as other alpha, odd-Z, and iron-peak elements.
Among the main APOGEE scientific objectives are to: (1) measure in an unbiased, uniform manner the spatial variations of metallicity distributions and abundance patterns with statistically large samples of MW stars,
(2) study the processes of star formation, feedback, mixing and chemical evolution in the MW with sensitivity to numerous nucleosynthetic pathways,
(3) survey Galactic dynamics, particularly in the bulge and disk, where constraints on the nature and influence of the Galactic bar and spiral arms will be defined,
(4) look for chemodynamical evidence of Galactic substructure from accretion events, postulated by hierarchical formation models to be responsible ultimately for the formation of all MW stellar populations, and
(5) use these extensive chemodynamical data, particularly in the inner Galaxy, to unravel the overall formation and evolution of the MW.
The first APOGEE results are in hand and will be discussed.
To extend APOGEE’s coverage of the Galactic bulge, inner Galaxy and third and fourth Galactic quadrants, as well as the Magellanic Clouds, omega Centauri, the Sagittarius dwarf spheroidal and other interesting, Southern Hemisphere targets, a duplicate APOGEE instrument is being proposed for the Du Pont 2.5-m as part of the “After Sloan-III” collaboration.
Collaborators are being sought for this new, southern component of the APOGEE survey, expected to begin in 2014.

The Event Horizon Telescope: Observing Black Holes with Schwarzschild Radius Resolution
Abstract
It is now almost certain that at the center of our Milky Way Galaxy lies a super massive black hole – 4 million times more massive than our Sun.
Because of its proximity to Earth, this object, known as Sagittarius A*, presents astronomers with the best opportunity in the Universe to spatially resolve and image a black hole Event Horizon.
To do this requires using Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI), the technique whereby radio telescopes around the world are linked together in a Global phased array.
Very short wavelength VLBI observations have now confirmed structure on ~4 Schwarzschild radius scales within SgrA*, and have revealed time variability in this source on the same spatial scales.
For the much more massive (6 billion solar mass) black hole powering the relativistic jet in M87, similarly compact structures have been detected.
I will describe the instrumentation efforts that enable these observations, discuss what current and future VLBI observations can tell us about these super-massive black holes, and describe plans for assembling a submm-VLBI Event Horizon Telescope.

Near field cosmology with Local Group galaxies
Abstract
It is on galactic scales that our understanding of the cosmological evolution of matter is most incomplete.
Many of the predicted features of galaxies, such as faint satellites and diffuse stellar haloes, are extremely low surface brightness, and so the Milky Way, M31 and M33 are some of the only large galaxies in the Universe and that can provide robust tests of many fundamental aspects of galaxy formation models.
The Pan-Andromeda Archaeological Survey (PAndAS) is a large, deep, photometric survey that has surveyed nearly 400 sq.degrees in the surroundings of the M31/M33 sub-group, and which is providing the deepest and most complete panorama of galaxy haloes available.
Here, I will review recent results from PAndAS, and discuss the future development of this field with an eye on the next generation of astronomical facilities.

原始星形成過程の輻射磁気流体シミュレーション
Abstract
我々は輻射磁気流体シミュレーションを用いて星形成過程を研究してきた。
これまでは主に星形成の初期に形成されるファーストコアに着目して研究を進めてきたが、最近化学反応の効果を取り入れた状態方程式を取り入れることで、星形成のより後期段階であるセカンドコラプスとそれに続く原始星コアの形成を直接輻射磁気流体シミュレーションすることに成功した。
回転・磁場のない場合には先行する精密な球対称輻射流体計算と整合的な結果を得ることができた。
磁場が強い場合には初期に回転があっても、磁場による効率的な角運動量輸送の結果形成される原始星コアはその形成直後はほぼ球対称的になることがわかった。
最近このような原始星コア形成まで分解する計算が行われ始めているが、磁場を含む計算は本研究が初めてであり、その進化は定性的に異なることを見出した。
現実的には星形成過程では理想MHD近似は成立しないと考えられているため、余裕があれば現在開発を進めている Super Time Stepping法による抵抗性MHD計算についても紹介したい。

“Near-infrared spectroscopy of passively evolving galaxies at z>1.4 with Subaru/MOIRCS”
Abstract
Typical spectroscopic surveys aiming at z>1.4 galaxies have been conducted with optical instruments and targetingstar-forming galaxies relatively blue in rest-frame UV.
Thus, high redshift passive galaxies are almost fully missed inthese surveys because they are very faint in the optical and usually there is no detectable emission line.
In thisrespect, near-IR spectroscopy offers a great advantage for passive galaxies at z>1.4 as strongest spectral features suchas 4000A break and Ca H+K absorption lines are redshifted into near-IR, and rest-frame optical continuum is muchbrighter than that in the rest-frame UV.
By taking advantages of such nature of passive galaxies and the capability ofmulti-object spectroscopy of MOIRCS on Subaru, we have carried out near-IR spectroscopic observations of passivelyevolving galaxies at z>1.4.
We have selected a sample of massive BzK-selected passively evolving galaxies (pBzKs) atz>1.4 from the COSMOS field and observed them with Subaru/MOIRCS.
With a exposure time ranging from 7.5 hours to 9.5hours per object, 18 pBzKs among 34 observed in 3 masks have been identified spectroscopically.
I will show the resultson their stellar populations based on broad-band SEDs and rest-frame optical spectral features, environments, andvelocity dispersion analysis for the brightest object.
I will also show average properties of z>1.4 passive galaxiesbased on a composite spectrum of identified pBzKs.

Unbound or distant planetary mass population detected by gravitational microlensing – Free-floating planets may be common –
Abstract
We discover a population of unbound or distant Jupiter-mass objects, which are almost twice as common as main-sequence stars, based on two years of gravitational microlensing survey observations toward the Galactic Bulge.
These planetary-mass objects have no host stars that can be detected within about ten astronomical units by gravitational microlensing.
However a comparison with constraints from direct imaging suggests that most of these planetary-mass objects are not bound to any host star.
An abrupt change in the mass function at about a Jupiter mass favours the idea that their formation process is different from that of stars and brown dwarfs.
They may have formed in proto-planetary disks and subsequently scattered into unbound or very distant orbits.
We also review the recent results on bound planets by microlensing and prospects for the space-based observation by the NASA’s Wide-Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST).
