Environmental Dependence of Star Formation in Nearby Barred Spiral Galaxies
[Abstract]
I will introduce environmental dependence of star formation in terms of two aspects: amount of gas and the possible dynamical influence from galactic bar.

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.

Review of Spronck et al.2013: Fiber Scrambling for High-Resolution Spectrograph
[Abstract]
One of the goals of studying exoplanets is to find “second-Earth”. The Kepler space telescope has found more than 3000 exoplanets candidates including several times Earth-mass planets, but they are too far form our solar system to observe more further. Detection of such planets around G-type stars is very difficult because of the accuracy, so detection around M-type stars which exist a lot in neighborhood has been planned. In order to find such planets in the Habitable Zones near our solar system, infrared high-resolution spectrographs have been developed by some groups, because M-type stars are bright in the infrared wavelength region. IRD -Infrared Doppler- is one of such spectrographs, developed for Subaru telescope. IRD uses optical fibers to couple the telescope to spectrograph. This paper, Spronck et al.2013, demonstrated an improvement in the stability of the instrumental profile using the fiber scrambler. Additionally, they presented data obtained with a double scrambler that further improves the stability of the instrument

Planetesimal formation via fluffy aggregates
[Abstract]
To understand the structure evolution of dust aggregates is a key in the planetesimal formation. Dust grains become fluffy by coagulation in protoplanetary disks. However, once they become fluffy, they are not sufficiently compressed by collisional compression to form compact planetesimals (Okuzumi et al. 2012, ApJ, 752, 106). Thus, some other compression mechanisms are required to form planetesimals.
We investigate the static compression of highly porous aggregates. First, we derive the compressive strength by numerical N-body simulations (Kataoka et al. 2013a, A&A, 554, A4). Then, we apply the strength to protoplanetary disks, supposing that the highly porous aggregates can be quiasi-statically compressed by ram pressure of the disk gas and the self gravity. As a result, we find the pathway of the dust structure evolution from dust grains via fluffy aggregates to compact planetesimals. Moreover, we find that the fluffy aggregates overcome the barriers in planetesimal formation, which are radial drift, fragmentation, and bouncing barriers (Kataoka et al. 2013b, A&A, 557, L4).

Planetary mass objects in star forming regions
[Abstract]
A large number of substellar-mass objects isolated in star forming regions are now known, with masses ranging from those of brown dwarfs (BDs) to planetary mass objects (PMOs). Although more massive BDs are being extensively explored, the frequency of PMOs is much less studied except for Orion and a few other regions, and their universality is not established.
I review the studies of PMOs in star forming regions and report the status of our PMO study in the Taurus molecular cloud.

the review of R. Galicher et al.(2013)
[Abstract]
I present the review of R.Galicher et al.(2013).
Fomalhaut has a candidate planet announced by Kalas et al.(2008).
They found Fomalhaut b in visible range, but a few years later, the object is not detected at 4.5 μm where thermal emission of the planet is expected.
So, a thin dust cloud or swarm of satellites around the planet are proposed for Fomalhaut b.
In this paper, the authors analyzed the Hubble Space Telescope arvhive data and discussed which model is consistent with Fomalhaut b.

The super-critical accretion disk and outflow; an origin of the
ULX nebula
[Abstract]
The accretion disks around black holes (BHs) are believed to drive
high energy astrophysical phenomena, such as high-energy radiation,
disk winds, and jets of active galactic nuclei and black hole
binaries. However, a central engine of ultra-luminous X-ray sources
(ULXs) is still an enigma. Since the luminosity of the ULXs exceeds
the Eddington luminosity of stellar mass BH (~10M_sun), the standard
disk (sub-Eddington disk) around the black hole of ~< 10Msun cannot explain the ULXs. Hence, two possibilities are suggested; (1) stellar mass BH with super-critical accretion disk of which the luminosity is larger than Eddington luminosity (2) standard disk around intermediate mass BH (IMBH) of > 100Msun.
Recently, multi-wavelength observations revealed that some of ULXs are
surrounded by nebulae (ULX nebulae). The origin of the nebulae has not
been understood yet, though it might be a key phenomenon to resolve
the central engine of the ULXs. Here, we investigate super-critical
accretion disk around stellar mass BH by two-dimensional
radiation-hydrodynamics simulations. We confirmed that super-critical
accretion disk drives strong outflows with large opening-angle (20-85
degree). The kinetic energy of the outflows is roughly consistent with
the luminosity injected into ULX nebulae, implying that our results
support the scenario of the stellar mass BHs with super-critical
accretion disks.
