Near-infrared spectra of chemically peculiar stars and applications to kilonova spectra
Nanae Domoto, Masaomi Tanaka, Wako Aoki +11
Kilonova spectra provide information on rapid neutron-capture nucleosynthesis in neutron star mergers. However, it remains challenging to identify individual elements in kilonova s…
Revealing α-Element's Past with Subaru/IRD: Oxygen Abundance of 35 Very Metal-Poor Stars from Near-IR OH lines
Bakuh Danang Setyo Budi, Wako Aoki, Nicholas Storm +10
Oxygen abundances in very and extremely metal-poor (V/EMP) stars provide critical constraints on early massive stars' nucleosynthesis. An Oxygen abundance analysis is presented for…
Discovery of a Low-Mass Companion to the Accelerating Star HIP 53005 with Strongly Conflicting Mass Estimates
Taichi Uyama, Thayne Currie, Jerry W. Xuan +22
We present the discovery of a low-mass companion located at 0\farcs{}85 () from the early-type 1.2 Gyr-old star HIP 53005 using direct imagin…
Direct Imaging Explorations for Companions from the Subaru/IRD Strategic Program II; Discovery of a Brown-dwarf Companion around a Nearby mid-M~dwarf LSPM~J1446+4633
Taichi Uyama, Masayuki Kuzuhara, Charles Beichman +35
We report the discovery of a new directly-imaged brown dwarf companion with Keck/NIRC2+pyWFS around a nearby mid-type M~dwarf LSPM~J1446+4633 (hereafter J1446). The -band contr…
Elemental abundances of 44 very metal-poor stars determined from Subaru/IRD near-infrared spectra
Wako Aoki, Timothy C. Beers, Satoshi Honda +12
Abundances of five elements, Na, Mg, Al, Si, and Sr, are investigated for 44 very metal-poor stars (-4.0 < [Fe/H] < -1.5) in the Galactic halo system based on an Local Thermodinami…
Weighing Single-lined Spectroscopic Binaries Using Tidal Effects on Radial Velocities: The Case of V723 Monocerotis
Mio Tomoyoshi, Kento Masuda, Teruyuki Hirano +6
In single-lined spectroscopic binaries (SB1s) where flux variations due to tidal deformation of the primary star (ellipsoidal variations, EVs) are detected, the binary mass can be…
Stellar Models are Reliable at Low Metallicity: An Asteroseismic Age for the Ancient Very Metal-Poor Star KIC 8144907
Daniel Huber, Ditte Slumstrup, Marc Hon +15
Very metal-poor stars ([Fe/H]<-2) are important laboratories for testing stellar models and reconstructing the formation history of our galaxy. Asteroseismology is a powerful tool…
Direct Imaging Explorations for Companions around Mid-Late M Stars from the Subaru/IRD Strategic Program
Taichi Uyama, Charles Beichman, Masayuki Kuzuhara +32
The Subaru telescope is currently performing a strategic program (SSP) using the high-precision near-infrared (NIR) spectrometer IRD to search for exoplanets around nearby mid/late…
Silicon and Strontium abundances of very metal-poor stars determined from near-infrared spectra
Wako Aoki, Timothy C. Beers, Satoshi Honda +19
Silicon and Strontium are key elements to explore the nucleosynthesis and chemical evolution of the Galaxy by measurements of very metal-poor stars. There are, however, only a few…
Elemental abundances of nearby M dwarfs based on high-resolution near-infrared spectra obtained by the Subaru/IRD survey: Proof of concept
Hiroyuki Tako Ishikawa, Wako Aoki, Teruyuki Hirano +24
Detailed chemical analyses of M dwarfs are scarce but necessary to constrain the formation environment and internal structure of planets being found around them. We present element…
