A Very Metal-poor RR Lyrae Star with a Disk Orbit Found in the Solar Neighborhood

Noriyuki Matsunaga, Akinori Itane, Kohei Hattori +28

Metal-deficient stars are important tracers for understanding the early formation of the Galaxy. Recent large-scale surveys with both photometric and spectroscopic data have report…

Light and colour variations of Mira variables in the Small Magellanic Cloud

Yoshifusa Ita, John W. Menzies, Patricia A. Whitelock +6

The goal of this paper is to characterise the light variation properties of Mira variables in the Small Magellanic Cloud. We have investigated a combined optical and near infrared…

Long-Term Near-Infrared Brightening of Non-Variable OH/IR Stars

Takafumi Kamizuka, Yoshikazu Nakada, Kenshi Yanagisawa +8

Non-variable OH/IR stars are thought to have just left the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) phase. In this conventional picture, they must still show strong circumstellar extinction c…

Relationship between Radar Cross Section and Optical Magnitude based on Radar and Optical Simultaneous Observations of Faint Meteors

Ryou Ohsawa, Akira Hirota, Kohei Morita +40

Radar and optical simultaneous observations of meteors are important to understand the size distribution of the interplanetary dust. However, faint meteors detected by high power l…

An optical search for transients lasting a few seconds

Michael W. Richmond, Masaomi Tanaka, Tomoki Morokuma +37

Using a prototype of the Tomo-e Gozen wide-field CMOS mosaic camera, we acquire wide-field optical images at a cadence of 2 Hz and search them for transient sources of duration 1.5…

New constraint on the atmosphere of (50000) Quaoar from a stellar occultation

Ko Arimatsu, Ryou Ohsawa, George L. Hashimoto +35

We report observations of a stellar occultation by the classical Kuiper belt object (50000) Quaoar occurred on 28 June 2019. A single-chord high-cadence (2 Hz) photometry dataset w…
