The Cosmic Infrared Background Experiment-2: An Intensity Mapping Optimized Sounding-rocket Payload to Understand the Near-IR Extragalactic Background Light

Michael Zemcov, James J. Bock, Asantha Cooray +37

The background light produced by emission from all sources over cosmic history is a powerful diagnostic of structure formation and evolution. At near-infrared wavelengths, this ext…

Systematic Study of the Inner Structure of Molecular Tori in Nearby U/LIRGs using Velocity Decomposition of CO Rovibrational Absorption Lines

Shusuke Onishi, Takao Nakagawa, Shunsuke Baba +6

Determining the inner structure of the molecular torus around an active galactic nucleus is essential for understanding its formation mechanism. However, spatially resolving the to…

Polarization spectrum of near infrared zodiacal light observed with CIBER

Kohji Takimoto, Toshiaki Arai, Shuji Matsuura +14

We report the first measurement of the zodiacal light (ZL) polarization spectrum in the near-infrared between 0.8 and 1.8 m. Using the low-resolution spectrometer (LRS) on board…

Anomalous Hydrogen Recombination-Line Ratios in Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies

Kenichi Yano, Shunsuke Baba, Takao Nakagawa +5

We conducted systematic observations of the H I Br (4.05 m) and Br (2.63 m) lines in 52 nearby () ultraluminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs) with AKARI. Among 33 U…

Study of the Inner Structure of the Molecular Torus in IRAS 08572+3915 NW with Velocity Decomposition of CO Rovibrational Absorption Lines

Shusuke Onishi, Takao Nakagawa, Shunsuke Baba +6

Understanding the inner structure of the clumpy molecular torus surrounding the active galactic nucleus is essential in revealing the forming mechanism. However, spatially resolvin…
