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…

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…

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…

OISTER Optical and Near-Infrared Monitoring Observations of a Peculiar Radio-Loud Active Galactic Nucleus SDSS J110006.07+442144.3

Tomoki Morokuma, Masaomi Tanaka, Yasuyuki T. Tanaka +80

We present monitoring campaign observations at optical and near-infrared (NIR) wavelengths for a radio-loud active galactic nucleus (AGN) at z=0.840, SDSS~J110006.07+442144.3 (here…

Discovery of a distant molecular cloud in the extreme outer Galaxy with the Nobeyama 45-m telescope

Mitsuhiro Matsuo, Hiroyuki Nakanishi, Tetsuhiro Minamidani +10

We report the discovery of the molecular cloud whose kinematic distance is the largest in the Galaxy at the present moment, named G213.0420.003, at 213.042 and $b…

Near infrared diffuse interstellar bands toward the Cygnus OB2 association

Satoshi Hamano, Naoto Kobayashi, Sohei Kondo +16

We obtained the near-infrared (NIR) high-resolution () spectra of the seven brightest early-type stars in the Cygnus OB2 association for investigating the en…
