The 2006 November outburst of EG Aquarii: the SU UMa nature revealed
Akira Imada, Rod Stubbings, Taichi Kato +32
We report time-resolved CCD photometry of the cataclysmic variable EG Aquarii during the 2006 November outburst During the outburst, superhumps were unambiguously detected with a m…
Evidence for a companion to BM Gem, a silicate carbon star
Hideyuki Izumiura, Kunio Noguchi, Wako Aoki +12
Balmer and Paschen continuum emission as well as Balmer series lines of P Cygni-type profile from H_gamma through H_23 are revealed in the violet spectra of BM Gem, a carbon star a…
Discovery of a WZ Sge-Type Dwarf Nova, SDSS J102146.44+234926.3: Unprecedented Infrared Activity during a Rebrightening Phase
M. Uemura, A. Arai, T. Krajci +26
Several SU UMa-type dwarf novae, in particular, WZ Sge-type stars tend to exhibit rebrightenings after superoutbursts. The rebrightening phenomenon is problematic for the disk inst…
MITSuME--Multicolor Imaging Telescopes for Survey and Monstrous Explosions
T. Kotani, N. Kawai, K. Yanagisawa +25
Development of MITSuME is reported. Two 50-cm optical telescopes have been built at Akeno in Yamanashi prefecture and at Okayama Astrophysical Observatory (OAO) in Okayama prefectu…
Spectropolarimetric Study on Circumstellar Structure of Microquasar LS I +61deg 303
Osamu Nagae, Koji S. Kawabata, Yasushi Fukazawa +10
We present optical linear spectropolarimetry of the microquasar LS I +61 303. The continuum emission is mildly polarized (up to 1.3 %) and shows almost no temporal change…
Current Performance and On-Going Improvements of the 8.2 m Subaru Telescope
Masanori Iye, Hiroshi Karoji, Hiroyasu Ando +2
An overview of the current status of the 8.2 m Subaru Telescope constructed and operated at Mauna Kea, Hawaii, by the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan is presented. The b…
Spectroscopic Studies of Extremely Metal-Poor Stars with Subaru/HDS:I. Observational Data
S. Honda, W. Aoki, H. Ando +14
We have obtained high-resolution (R 50,000 or 90,000), high-quality (S/N $\ga$ 100) spectra of 22 very metal-poor stars ([Fe/H] $\la$ -2.5) with the High Dispersion Spectr…
Dusty ERO Search behind Two Massive Clusters
Tadafumi Takata, Nobunari Kashikawa, Kouichiro Nakanishi +15
We performed deep K'-band imaging observations of 2 massive clusters, MS 0451.6-0305 at z = 0.55 and MS 0440.5+0204 at z = 0.19, for searching counterparts of the faint sub-mm sour…
Decomposition of the Superwind in M82
Youichi Ohyama, Yoshiaki Taniguchi, Masanori Iye +16
We present new optical images (, , and H) of the archetypical starburst/superwind galaxy M82 obtained with the 8.2 m Subaru Telescope to reveal new detailed structures of…
A New High-Redshift Lyman alpha Emitter: Possible Superwind Galaxy at z = 5.69
M. Ajiki, Y. Taniguchi, T. Murayama +33
During the course of our deep optical imaging survey for Ly alpha emitters at z approximately 5.7 in the field around the z=5.74 quasar SDSSp J104433.04-012502.2, we have found a c…
Chemical composition of carbon-rich, very metal-poor subgiant LP625-44 observed with the Subaru/HDS
W. Aoki, H. Ando, S. Honda +14
We have obtained a high resolution (R~90,000) spectrum of the carbon- and s-process-element-rich, very metal-poor ([Fe/H]=-2.7) subgiant LP625-44, as well as that of HD140283 (a me…
A Shock-Induced Pair of Superbubbles in the High-Redshift Powerful Radio Galaxy MRC 0406-244
Yoshiaki Taniguchi, Youichi Ohyama, Takashi Murayama +26
We present new optical spectroscopy of the high-redshift powerful radio galaxy MRC 0406244 at redshift of 2.429. We find that the two extensions toward NW and SE probed in the r…
