Tree-ring structure of Galactic bar resonance in N-body simulations

Rimpei Chiba, Michiko Fujii, Junichi Baba +2

We study the structure and evolution of the galactic bar's resonant phase-space in self-consistent N-body simulations of the Milky Way, with and without perturbations from the Sagi…

SIRIUS: The relation between the diversity of dwarf galaxies and their formation histories

Chi-Hong Lin, Michiko S Fujii, Takayuki R Saitoh +1

Low-mass dwarf galaxies () are fundamental cosmological building blocks, yet the physical processes driving their structural diversity remain…

On the Formation of GW231123 in Population III Star Clusters

Shuai Liu, Long Wang, Ataru Tanikawa +2

GW231123 is a binary black hole merger whose primary component lies within or above the pair-instability mass gap, while the secondary component falls within this gap. The standard…

Hidden in Pixels. I. Discovery of dual "little red dots" indicates excess clustering on kilo-parsec scales

Takumi S. Tanaka, John D. Silverman, Kazuhiro Shimasaku +56

``Little Red Dots'' (LRDs) are an abundant high-redshift population newly discovered by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and considered to be an early growth phase of supermas…

Compact Binary Formation in Open Star Clusters III: Probability of Binary Black Holes Hidden in Gaia Black Hole Binary

Ataru Tanikawa, Long Wang, Michiko S. Fujii +3

The Gaia mission and its follow-up observations have discovered a few candidates of non-interacting single black holes (BHs) and visible stars, Gaia BH1, BH2, and BH3, collectively…

The impact of primordial binary on the dynamical evolution of intermediate massive star clusters

Long Wang, Ataru Tanikawa, Michiko S. Fujii

Observations found that star clusters contain a large fraction of binaries. Tight binaries are an important heating source that influences the long-term dynamical evolution of star…

The origin of S-stars and a young stellar disk: distribution of debris stars of a sinking star cluster

Michiko Fujii, Masaki Iwasawa, Yoko Funato +1

Within the distance of 1 pc from the Galactic center (GC), more than 100 young massive stars have been found. The massive stars at 0.1-1 pc from the GC are located in one or two di…
