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…
Near-Infrared Polarimetry of the Eagle Nebula (M16)
Koji Sugitani, Makoto Watanabe, Motohide Tamura +10
We carried out deep and wide (about 8' x 8') JHKs imaging polarimetry in the southern region of the Eagle Nebula (M16). The polarization intensity map reveals that two YSOs with ne…
Near-Infrared Imaging Polarimetry of the Star Forming Region NGC 2024
R. Kandori, M. Tamura, N. Kusakabe +7
We conducted wide-field JHKs imaging polarimetry toward NGC 2024. We found a prominent and extended polarized nebula over NGC 2024, and constrained the location of illuminating sou…
Interstellar Extinction Law in the J, H, and Ks Bands toward the Galactic Center
Shogo Nishiyama, Tetsuya Nagata, Nobuhiko Kusakabe +8
We have determined the ratios of total to selective extinction in the near-infrared bands (J, H, Ks) toward the Galactic center from the observations of the region |l| < 2.0deg and…
Near Infrared Imaging Survey of Bok Globules: Density Structure
Ryo Kandori, Yasushi Nakajima, Motohide Tamura +11
On the basis of near-infrared imaging observations, we derived visual extinction (Av) distribution toward ten Bok globules through measurements of both the color excess (E_{H-K}) a…
A Distinct Structure Inside the Galactic Bar
Shogo Nishiyama, Tetsuya Nagata, Daisuke Baba +16
We present the result of a near-infrared (J H Ks) survey along the Galactic plane, -10.5deg < l < +10.5deg and b=+1.0deg, with the IRSF 1.4m telescope and the SIRIUS camera. Ks vs.…
