Harada, Naoki,   Yajima, Hidenobu,   Abe, Makito

We study gas and metal outflow from massive galaxies in protocluster regions at z = 3 - 9 by using the results of FOREVER22 simulation projects. Our simulations contain massive haloes with Mhrsim1013 M⊙, showing high star formation rates of > 100 ...

Generation of high circular polarization of interstellar Lyman α radiation triggering biological homochirality

Image

Fukushima, Hajime,   Yajima, Hidenobu,   Umemura, Masayuki

The homochirality of biological molecules on Earth is a long-standing mystery regarding the origin of life. Circularly polarized ultraviolet (UV) light could induce the enantiomeric excess of biological molecules in the interstellar medium, leading t...

An Unbiased CO Survey Toward the Northern Region of the Small Magellanic Cloud with the Atacama Compact Array. II. CO Cloud Catalog

Image

Ohno, Takahiro,   Tokuda, Kazuki,   Konishi, Ayu,   Matsumoto, Takeru,   Sewiło, Marta,   Kondo, Hiroshi

The nature of molecular clouds and their statistical behavior in subsolar metallicity environments are not fully explored yet. We analyzed data from an unbiased CO (J = 2-1) survey at the spatial resolution of ~ 2 pc in the northern region of the Sma...

3D Radiation-hydrodynamic Simulations Resolving Interior of Rapidly Accreting Primordial Protostar

Image

Kimura, Kazutaka,   Hosokawa, Takashi,   Sugimura, Kazuyuki,   Fukushima, Hajime

Direct collapse of supermassive stars is a possible pathway to form supermassive black hole seeds at high redshifts. Whereas previous three-dimensional (3D) simulations demonstrate that supermassive stars form via rapid mass accretion, those resolvin...

Ura, Ryota,   Hashimoto, Takuya,   Inoue, Akio K.,   Fadda, Dario,   Hayes, Matthew,   Puschnig, Johannes

We present integral field, far-infrared (FIR) spectroscopy of Mrk 54, a local Lyman continuum emitter, obtained with FIFI-LS on the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy. This is only the second time, after Haro 11, that [C II] 158 μm and ...
