Insights into Jet-Induced Cloud Disruption in NGC 1316: ALMA Reveals a Spatially Extended Molecular Gas
Kana Morokuma-Matsui, Alexander Y. Wagner, Filippo M. Maccagni +14
We present ALMA CO() observations of a nearby radio galaxy NGC1316 at a 100-pc resolution to investigate the impact of AGN jets on the molecular gas. The molecular gas exhib…
Deep Optical Follow-up Observations to IceCube Cosmic Neutrinos: a case for IC230724A with Subaru/HSC and prospects with Rubin/LSST
Shigeo S. Kimura, Masaomi Tanaka, Seiji Toshikage +8
IceCube has been detecting cosmic high-energy neutrinos for more than 10 years, but their major sources are still under debate. To identify them, IceCube is issuing neutrino alerts…
J-GEM near-infrared follow-up observations of the gravitational wave event S240422ed
Ichiro Takahashi, Tomoki Morokuma, Masaomi Tanaka +9
We report our near-infrared (NIR) follow-up observations of the gravitational wave (GW) event S240422ed using the Subaru Telescope/MOIRCS. S240422ed was initially classified as a b…
A Possible Shutting-Down Event of Mass Accretion in An Active Galactic Nucleus at z~1.8
Tomoki Morokuma, Malte Schramm, Toshihiro Kawaguchi +11
We present the discovery of a large gradual apparent fading event in optical and near-infrared wavelengths in a quasar at z=1.767 by a factor of 20-30 (in optical) over a period of…
Second-timescale Glints from Satellites and Space Debris Detected with Tomo-e Gozen
Masaomi Tanaka, Ichiro Takahashi, Naoki Yoshida +17
A search for second-timescale optical transients is one of the frontiers of time-domain astronomy. However, it has been pointed out that reflections of sunlight from Earth-orbiting…
The First Search for Optical Transient as a Counterpart of a Month-timescale IceCube Neutrino Multiplet Event
Seiji Toshikage, Shigeo S. Kimura, Nobuhiro Shimizu +4
Optical transients with timescale of months, such as supernovae (SNe) and tidal disruption events (TDEs), are candidates of high-energy neutrino sources. Multiple neutrino detectio…
