Early chemo-dynamical evolution of dwarf galaxies deduced from enrichment of r-process elements

Yutaka Hirai, Yuhri Ishimaru, Takayuki R. Saitoh +3

The abundance of elements synthesized by the rapid neutron-capture process (r-process elements) of extremely metal-poor (EMP) stars in the Local Group galaxies gives us clues to cl…

Chemical evolution library for galaxy formation simulation

Takayuki R. Saitoh

We have developed a software library for chemical evolution simulations of galaxy formation under the simple stellar population (SSP) approximation. In this library, all of the nec…

How primordial is the structure of comet 67P/C-G? Combined collisional and dynamical models suggest a late formation

M. Jutzi, W. Benz, A. Toliou +2

There is an active debate about whether the properties of comets as observed today are primordial or, alternatively, if they are a result of collisional evolution or other processe…

Formation of dust-rich planetesimals from sublimated pebbles inside of the snow line

Shigeru Ida, Tristan Guillot

Content: For up to a few millions of years, pebbles must provide a quasi-steady inflow of solids from the outer parts of protoplanetary disks to their inner regions. Aims: We wish…

Gas and stellar spiral arms and their offsets in the grand-design spiral galaxy M51

Fumi Egusa, Erin Mentuch Cooper, Jin Koda +1

Theoretical studies on the response of interstellar gas to a gravitational potential disc with a quasi-stationary spiral arm pattern suggest that the gas experiences a sudden compr…

Eventful Evolution of Giant Molecular Clouds in Dynamically Evolving Spiral Arms

Junichi Baba, Kana Morokuma-Matsui, Takayuki R. Saitoh

The formation and evolution of giant molecular clouds (GMCs) in spiral galaxies have been investigated in the traditional framework of the combined quasi-stationary density wave an…
