日付発表者(予定)題名・発表内容
4 月 9 日野上
I will make a talk entitled "Recent progress of our research on superflares" on April 9, focusing on the spectroscopic data obtained with SUBARU/HDS, and analyses of Kelper short time-cadence data of superflare stars.

4 月 16 日水野
I am going to introduce the paper on Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) and host galaxy evolution. Hickox+2009 http://ads.nao.ac.jp/abs/2009ApJ...696..891H The paper studied the host galaxy, Eddington ratio and clustering of radio, X-ray, and infrared selected AGNs. The paper introduced a simple picture of AGN and galaxy evolution on the basis of the previous studies, and then confirmed that the picture is consistent with observation.

4 月 23 日大島
Next seminar (tomorrow), I am going to introduce the paper on "Long-term photometry of the eclipsing dwarf nova V893 Scorpii" (arxiv 1404:2902v1)

4 月 30 日上田
Tomorrow I will talk about prospects for future X-ray astronomy.

5 月 7 日Ricci
The title of my talk will be "Tracing the environment of AGN"

I will discuss the following papers:
- A new cosmological distance measure using X-ray variability (La Franca et al. 2014)
- Luminosity and redshift dependence of the covering factor of AGN viewed with WISE and SDSS (Toba et al. 2014)
- The incidence of obscuration in active galactic nuclei (Merloni et al. 2013)
- The Obscured Fraction of Active Galactic Nuclei in the XMM-COSMOS Survey: A Spectral Energy Distribution Perspective (Lusso et al. 2013)

5 月 14 日中田
Today, I will talk about the terminal stage of CV evolution.

5 月 21 日
Tomorrow, I will talk about the following paper "Revealing accretion onto black holes: X-ray reflection throughout three outbursts of GX 339-4" (Plant et al. 2014)

5 月 28 日志達
In the next seminar, I would like to talk about the timing properties of black hole X-ray binaries, with a particular focus on low-frequency quasi-periodic oscillations.

I will introduce a couple of most recent papers on that topic:

"Geometrical constraints on the origin of timing signals from black holes" Motta et al. 2014, arXiv:1404.7293 "Power-Colours: Simple X-ray Binary Variability Comparison" Heil et al. 2014a, arXiv:1405.2024 "Inclination-dependent spectral and timing properties in transient black hole X-ray binaries" Heil et al. 2014b, arXiv:1405.2026

6 月 4 日川室
In the next seminar, I will introduce the tidal disruption events (TDE) and its recent studies includeding the results obtained by ROSAT, Swift, and my work with Monitor of All-sky X-ray Image (MAXI).

Tidal disruption event occurs when a star passes close enough to super massive black hole (SMBH) to be torn. TDE study is very interesting because it will give information about the stellar population in cusp around the SMBH, the dormant SMBH parameters, and the connection between disk, jet, and spin. And also, recent detections of two TDE accompanied with relativistic jet excite the people studying TDE.

6 月 11 日笹田
I will talk about jet hot spots of active galactic nuclei in the next Wednesday seminar.

In this seminar, I will introduce studies of AGN hot spots, especially focused on the optical polarimetric studies. After that, I will talk my recent study of multi-wavelength polarizations of western hot spot of Pictor A which is one of the most famous FRII radio galaxies.

6 月 25 日市川
For tomorrow's talk, I would like to review the paper, which has recently come out in astro-ph.
Brightman et al. 2014, MNRAS accepted, arXiv:1406.4502 http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2014arXiv1406.4502B

Using the 0.8-8 keV spec data of CDF-S + AEGIS + C-COSMOS obtained by Chandra, they reported that 100 Compton-thick AGN candidates are found in high-z (z<3) universe.

7 月 2 日山中
I will review the recent studies on the multi mode/wavelength observations for SN 2014J in M82. SN 2014J is the closest Type Ia SN among this 20 years. Thus, several early studies of constraint on the progenitor systems for this object already appeared. I will introduce follow papers,

FIRST DETECTION OF 56CO GAMMA-RAY LINES FROM TYPE IA SUPERNOVA (SN2014J) WITH INTEGRAL. E. Churazov1,2, R. Sunyaev1,2, J. Isern3 et al. arXiv:1405.3332v1

CONSTRAINTS ON THE PROGENITOR SYSTEM OF THE TYPE IA SUPERNOVA 2014J FROM PRE-EXPLOSION HUBBLE SPACE TELESCOPE IMAGING Patrick L. Kelly1, Ori D. Fox1, Alexei V. Filippenko et al. arXiv:1403.4250v1

NO X-RAYS FROM THE VERY NEARBY TYPE IA SN 2014J: CONSTRAINTS ON ITS ENVIRONMENT R. MARGUTTI1, J. PARRENT1, A. KAMBLE1 et al. arXiv:1405.1488v1

CONSTRAINTS ON THE PROGENITOR SYSTEM AND THE ENVIRONS OF SN 2014J FROM DEEP EMERLIN AND EVN OBSERVATIONS M. A. Perez-Torres 1,2,3, P. Lundqvist4,5, R. J. Beswick et al. arXiv:1405.4702v1
