Optical and Near-Infrared Polarimetry of Highly Reddened Type Ia Supernova 2014J: Peculiar Properties of Dust in M82
K. S. Kawabata, H. Akitaya, M. Yamanaka +46
We presented optical and near-infrared multi-band linear polarimetry of the highly reddened Type Ia SN~2014J appeared in M82. SN~2014J exhibits large polarization at shorter wavele…
Extremely high polarization in 2010 outburst of blazar 3C 454.3
Mahito Sasada, Makoto Uemura, Yasushi Fukazawa +16
The gamma-ray-detected blazar 3C 454.3 exhibits dramatic flux and polarization variations in the optical and near-infrared bands. In December 2010, the object emitted a very bright…
GRB 091208B: First Detection of the Optical Polarization in Early Forward Shock Emission of a Gamma-Ray Burst Afterglow
T. Uehara, K. Toma, K. S. Kawabata +19
We report that the optical polarization in the afterglow of GRB 091208B is measured at t = 149 - 706 s after the burst trigger, and the polarization degree is P = 10.4% +/- 2.5%. T…
Early phase observations of extremely luminous Type Ia Supernova 2009dc
M. Yamanaka, K. S. Kawabata, K. Kinugasa +31
We present early phase observations in optical and near-infrared wavelengths for the extremely luminous Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) 2009dc. The decline rate of the light curve is $Δm…
Science with UT's Dichroic-Mirror Camera (DMC), 15-band simultaneous imager
Hanindyo Kuncarayakti, Mamoru Doi, Hakim L. Malasan +20
We introduce the Dichroic-Mirror Camera (DMC), an instrument developed at the University of Tokyo which is capable of performing simultaneous imaging in fifteen bands. The main fea…
Sequential star formation in a cometary globule (BRC37) of IC1396
Hisashi Ikeda, Koji Sugitani, Makoto Watanabe +9
We have carried out near-IR/optical observations to examine star formation toward a bright-rimmed cometary globule (BRC37) facing the exciting star(s) of an HII region (IC1396) con…
