An Outer Planet Beyond Pluto and Origin of the Trans-Neptunian Belt Architecture
Patryk Sofia Lykawka, Tadashi Mukai
Trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) are remnants of a collisionally and dynamically evolved planetesimal disk in the outer solar system. This complex structure, known as the trans-Neptu…
Resonance sticking in the scattered disk
Patryk Sofia Lykawka, Tadashi Mukai
We investigate the dynamical evolution of trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) in typical scattered disk orbits (scattered TNOs) by performing simulations using several thousand particle…
Sequential Formation of Low-Mass Stars in the BRC 14 Region
Ikuko Matsuyanagi, Yoichi Itoh, Koji Sugitani +3
We have carried out a deep near-infrared survey of a bright-rimmed molecular cloud, BRC 14 (IC 1848A). The 10 sigma limiting magnitude of the survey is 17.7 mag at the K-band. Seve…
Extrasolar Transiting Planet Search with Subaru Suprime-Cam
Seitaro Urakawa, Toru Yamada, Yasushi Suto +5
We report the results of a prototype photometric search for transiting extrasolar planets using Subaru Suprime-Cam. Out of about 100,000 stars monitored around the Galactic plane (…
Interstellar Extinction by Spheroidal Dust Grains
Ranjan Gupta, Tadashi Mukai, D. B. Vaidya +2
Observations of interstellar extinction and polarization indicate that the interstellar medium consists of aligned non-spherical dust grains which show variation in the interstella…
An analysis of the distribution of background star polarization in dark clouds
A. K. Sen, T. Mukai, R. Gupta +1
The polarization observed for stars background to dark clouds (Bok Globules) is often used as diagnostic to study the ongoing star formation processes in these clouds. Such polariz…
