High-Resolution Near-Infrared Polarimetry of a Circumstellar Disk around UX Tau A

Ryoko Tanii, Yoichi Itoh, Tomoyuki Kudo +65

We present H-band polarimetric imagery of UX Tau A taken with HiCIAO/AO188 on the Subaru Telescope. UX Tau A has been classified as a pre-transitional disk object, with a gap struc…

Discovery of Small-Scale Spiral Structures in the Disk of SAO 206462 (HD 135344B): Implications for the Physical State of the Disk from Spiral Density Wave Theory

T. Muto, C. A. Grady, J. Hashimoto +59

We present high-resolution, H-band, imaging observations, collected with Subaru/HiCIAO, of the scattered light from the transitional disk around SAO 206462 (HD 135344B). Although p…

Images of the Extended Outer Regions of the Debris Ring Around HR 4796 A

C. Thalmann, M. Janson, E. Buenzli +48

We present high-contrast images of HR 4796 A taken with Subaru/HiCIAO in H-band, resolving the debris disk in scattered light. The application of specialized angular differential i…

Extended High Circular Polarization in the Orion Massive Star Forming Region: Implications for the Origin of Homochirality in the Solar System

Tsubasa Fukue, Motohide Tamura, Ryo Kandori +7

We present a wide-field (~6'x6') and deep near-infrared (Ks band: 2.14 micro m) circular polarization image in the Orion nebula, where massive stars and many low-mass stars are for…

Interpretation of the expansion law of planetary nebulae

Hiroko Matsumoto, Tsubasa Fukue, Hideyuki Kamaya

We reproduce the expansion velocity--radius (--) relation in planetary nebulae by considering a simple dynamical model, in order to investigate the dynami…
