Measurement of Interstellar Polarization and Estimation of Galactic Extinction for the Direction of X-ray Black Hole Binary V404 Cygni
Ryosuke Itoh, Yasuyuki T. Tanaka, Koji S. Kawabata +12
V404 Cygni is a well-known black hole binary candidate thought to have relativistic jets. It showed extreme outbursts on June 2015, characterized by a large amplitude and short tim…
Multiband optical variability of the blazar OJ 287 during its outbursts in 2015 -- 2016
Alok C. Gupta, A. Agarwal, A. Mishra +31
We present recent optical photometric observations of the blazar OJ 287 taken during September 2015 -- May 2016. Our intense observations of the blazar started in November 2015 and…
J-GEM Follow-Up Observations of The Gravitational Wave Source GW151226
Michitoshi Yoshida, Yousuke Utsumi, Nozomu Tominaga +35
We report the results of optical--infrared follow-up observations of the gravitational wave (GW) event GW151226 detected by the Advanced LIGO in the framework of J-GEM (Japanese co…
Systematic Study of Gamma-ray bright Blazars with Optical Polarization and Gamma-ray Variability
Ryosuke Itoh, Krzysztof Nalewajko, Yasushi Fukazawa +18
Blazars are highly variable active galactic nuclei which emit radiation at all wavelengths from radio to gamma-rays. Polarized radiation from blazars is one key piece of evidence f…
2014-2015 Multiple Outbursts of 15P/Finlay
Masateru Ishiguro, Daisuke Kuroda, Hidekazu Hanayama +21
Multiple outbursts of a Jupiter-family comet, 15P/Finlay, occurred from late 2014 to early 2015. We conducted an observation of the comet after the first outburst and subsequently…
X-ray and Optical Correlation of Type I Seyfert NGC 3516 Studied with Suzaku and Japanese Ground-Based Telescopes
Hirofumi Noda, Takeo Minezaki, Makoto Watanabe +23
From 2013 April to 2014 April, we performed an X-ray and optical simultaneous monitoring of the type 1.5 Seyfert galaxy NGC 3516. It employed Suzaku, and 5 Japanese ground-based te…
