Spatio-kinematical structure of the Galactic Nuclear Stellar Disk revealed in VLBI astrometry of circumstellar masers
Hiroshi Imai, Kohei Kurahara, Huib J. van Langevelde +2
SKA-VLBI astrometry will enable us to measure up to thousands of three dimensional motions of OH masers associated with circumstellar envelopes (CSEs) of OH/IR stars in the Nuclear…
Unravelling Turbulence and Magnetic Fields in Galaxy Clusters with SKA and XRISM
Kohei Kurahara, Takuya Akahori, Amit Seta +5
This chapter proposes a research framework to quantitatively investigate non-thermal components in the Intracluster Medium (ICM) of galaxy clusters, which are critical ingredients…
Probing Magnetic Fields In and Around Galaxies Near and Far
S. A. Mao, Rainer Beck, Aritra Basu +14
In order to understand the magnetization of galaxies and the role of magnetic fields in feedback processes that govern star formation and galaxy evolution, it is essential to have…
VLBI Astrometry of Magnetars
Takuya Akahori, Sujin Eie, Kei Amada +8
The origin of the strongest magnetic fields in the Universe, i.e., the origin of magnetars, is a longstanding question. An enhanced dynamo effect in an irregular supernova explosio…
Magnetic Reconnection in Galaxy Clusters
Takuya Akahori, Kohei Kurahara, Shin-ya Nitta +4
Galaxy clusters contain an intra-cluster medium (ICM) with temperatures of tens of millions of Kelvin. Cosmological structure formation simulations show that this diffuse gas is he…
Constraints on the Physical Association between ICECAT1 Neutrinos and Fast Radio Bursts Using the Second CHIME/FRB Catalogue
Hiroto Masaoka, Tetsuya Hashimoto, Shotaro Yamasaski +8
We present a search for neutrino counterparts to fast radio bursts (FRBs) using temporal and spatial cross-matching between the Second CHIME/FRB catalogue and the IceCube high-ener…
