Optical and Near-Infrared Polarimetry for a Highly Dormant Comet 209P/LINEAR
Daisuke Kuroda, Masateru Ishiguro, Makoto Watanabe +24
We conducted an optical and near-infrared polarimetric observation of the highly dormant Jupiter-Family Comet, 209P/LINEAR. Because of its low activity, we were able to determine t…
Ophiuchus: an optical view of a very massive cluster of galaxies hidden behind the Milky Way
Florence Durret, Ken-ichi Wakamatsu, Takahiro Nagayama +2
The Ophiuchus cluster, at a redshift z=0.0296, is known from X-rays to be one of the most massive nearby clusters, but due to its very low Galactic latitude its optical properties…
Concurrent Formation of Carbon and Silicate Dust in Nova V1280 Sco
Itsuki Sakon, Shigeyuki Sako, Takashi Onaka +12
We present infrared multi-epoch observations of the dust forming nova V1280 Sco over 2000 days from the outburst. The temporal evolution of the infrared spectral energy distr…
OISTER Optical and Near-Infrared Observations of Type Iax Supernova 2012Z
Masayuki Yamanaka, Keiichi Maeda, Koji S. Kawabata +30
We report observations of the Type Iax supernova (SN Iax) 2012Z at optical and near-infrared wavelengths from immediately after the explosion until days after the maxi…
Two fast X-ray transients in archival Chandra data
A. Glennie, P. G. Jonker, R. P. Fender +2
We present the discovery of two new X-ray transients in archival Chandra data. The first transient, XRT 110103, occurred in January 2011 and shows a sharp rise of at least three or…
Low-Mass X-Ray Binary MAXI J1421-613 Observed by MAXI GSC and Swift XRT
Motoko Serino, Megumi Shidatsu, Yoshihiro Ueda +6
Monitor of All sky X-ray Image (MAXI) discovered a new outburst of an X-ray transient source named MAXI J1421-613. Because of the detection of three X-ray bursts from the source, i…
