Diverse Metallicities in Protoclusters at detected by Deep Learning

Yoshihiro Takeda, Nobunari Kashikawa, Kei Ito +12

We present spectroscopic follow-up observations with Subaru/MOIRCS of four protocluster candidate regions identified by the deep-learning model PCFNet. In three candidate regions,…

Subaru High- Exploration of Low-Luminosity Quasars (SHELLQs). XXV. Large-scale environments of low-luminosity quasars at traced by Ly emitters

Junya Arita, Nobunari Kashikawa, Yoshiki Matsuoka +18

High- quasars are believed to reside in massive dark matter haloes (DMHs), suggesting that they reside in galaxy overdense regions. However, previous observations have shown a r…

Predicting Ly Emission from Distant Galaxies with Neural Network Architecture

Takehiro Yoshioka, Nobunari Kashikawa, Yoshihiro Takeda +7

The Ly emission line is a characteristic feature found in high- galaxies, serving as a probe of cosmic reionization. While previous works present various correlations between…

Mining for Protoclusters at from Photometric Datasets with Deep Learning

Yoshihiro Takeda, Nobunari Kashikawa, Kei Ito +9

Protoclusters are high- overdense regions that will evolve into clusters of galaxies by , making them ideal for studying galaxy evolution expected to be accelerated by envi…

The nature of low-luminosity AGNs discovered by JWST based on clustering analysis: progenitors of low- quasars?

Junya Arita, Nobunari Kashikawa, Masafusa Onoue +4

James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has discovered many faint AGNs at high- by detecting their broad Balmer lines. However, their high number density, lack of X-ray emission, and…

Subaru High- Exploration of Low-Luminosity Quasars (SHELLQs). XVIII. The Dark Matter Halo Mass of Quasars at

Junya Arita, Nobunari Kashikawa, Yoshiki Matsuoka +10

We present, for the first time, dark matter halo (DMH) mass measurement of quasars at based on a clustering analysis of 107 quasars. Spectroscopically identified quasars a…

The physical origin for spatially large scatter of IGM opacity at the end of reionization: the IGM Ly opacity-galaxy density relation

Rikako Ishimoto, Nobunari Kashikawa, Daichi Kashino +9

The large opacity fluctuations in the Ly forest may indicate inhomogeneous progress of reionization. To explain the observed large scatter of the effective Ly optic…

CHORUS IV: Mapping the Spatially Inhomogeneous Cosmic Reionization with Subaru HSC

Takehiro Yoshioka, Nobunari Kashikawa, Akio K. Inoue +11

The spatial inhomogeneity is one of the important features for understanding the reionization process; however, it has not yet been fully quantified. To map this inhomogeneous dist…

Interrelation of the environment of Ly emitters and massive galaxies at

Kei Ito, Nobunari Kashikawa, Masayuki Tanaka +7

We present a comparison of the spatial distributions of Ly emitters (LAEs) and massive star-forming and quiescent galaxies (SFGs and QGs) at . We use the photometric re…

Discovery of a Cool Planet of 5.5 Earth Masses Through Gravitational Microlensing

J. -P. Beaulieu, D. P. Bennett, P. Fouque +46

In the favoured core-accretion model of formation of planetary systems, solid planetesimals accumulate to build up planetary cores, which then accrete nebular gas if they are suffi…
