10 月 1 日	野上	On October 1, I will report on the symposium of the Group of OPtical and InfraRed Astronomers (GOPIRA) that was held at NAOJ Mitaka in September 8-10. The title of this symposium was "Prospects of optical and infrared astronomy". The GOPIRA is now editing a book to summarize future plans of optical and infrared astronomy in Japan. The GOPIRA symposium was held for progress reports of this process.
10 月 8 日	水野	I will talk about current understanding of AGN clustering mainly based on Cappelluti et al. 2012, Advances in Astronomy, 2012, 1. I also introduce my work about X-ray selected AGN clustering in SXDS.
10 月 15 日	Marko (談話会)	Title：Monte Carlo radiative transfer code SKIRT and the AGN dusty torus Abstract: I will start by briefly presenting the problem of radiative transfer in dusty astrophysical environments, followed by an overview of SKIRT, the state-of-the-art radiative transfer code based on the Monte Carlo technique. I will present some of the applications of the code, focusing on the modeling of the dusty, obscuring structures in active galactic nuclei (AGN). This structure -- dubbed 'the dusty torus' -- has a major effect on how the AGN looks like, and although the basic picture has been clear for some time, there are still many unresolved issues. We offered a new model of the dusty torus as clumpy two-phase medium, in which high-density clumps are immersed in a smooth dusty medium of much lower density. I will finish by reporting some of our findings from the modeling of the dusty torus infrared emission and outlining our current efforts in understanding these structures.
10 月 22 日	Ricci	I will talk about two recently published papers: - Castignani & De Zotti 2014AGN TORUS emission for a homogeneous sample of bright FSRQs - Lanzuisi et al. 2014 Compton thick AGN in the XMM-COSMOS survey and discuss about some new results obtained by our group.
10 月 29 日	Neustroev (談話会)	Title: SWIFT J1753.5-0127: Spectroscopic evidence for a low-mass black hole
11 月 5 日	中田	On November 5, I will talk about the mechanism of rebrightenings. Rebrightening is a phenomenon where brightness increases again after the end of the main superoutburst. There are two competing models as a mechanism for the rebrightening; enhanced mass transfer model and mass reservoir model. These two models predict different temporal evolution of the disk radius. I will introduce Isogai et al. 2014 (http://arxiv.org/abs/1410.5822), which estimated the disk radius after the main superoutburst of EZ Lyn (DNe with multiple rebrightenings) by optical dual-band photometry and spectroscopy. I also talk about our work about PNV J17144255-2943481 and ASASSN-14cv. These objects went through the superoutburst in 2014 and showed multiple rebrightenings. We succeed in estimating their disk radius after the main superoutburst by using their superhumps.
11 月 12 日	堀	On the next seminar, I will talk about the following paper. Title : Irradiated, colour-temperature-corrected accretion discs in ultraluminous X-ray sources Authors : Andrew D. Sutton, Chris Done and Timothy P. Roberts (http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2014MNRAS.444.2415S) In this talk, I will introduce the new XSPEC model "OPTXIRR" and discuss about the radiative mechanism in infrared~UV band and the geometry of the ULX.
11 月 19 日	休会
11 月 26 日	市川	In the next Wednesday seminar, I would like to talk about the recent studies of hidden energy sources in infrared galaxies (1e10Lsun < Lir < 1e15 Lsun) obtained from Spitzer, AKARI, WISE, and Herschel observations. Both the slides and talk will be given in English (or Japanese only when the all participants are Japanese). Reference: http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2014arXiv1410.1751T
12 月 3 日	川室	In the next seminar, I will introduce the paper, Stone & Metzger 2014 (Rates of Stellar Tidal Disruption as Probes of the Supermassive Black Hole Mass Function).　 They try to constrain the emission mechanisms of tidal disruption events from its occurrence rate. If we have time, I will talk about my current study related to the tidal disruption rate with the MAXI all-sky survey.
12 月 10 日	笹田	In the next seminar, I will introduce a shot analysis, and applications of blackhole X-ray binary Cygnus X-1 (Negoro+ 1994, 1995, 2001; Yamada+ 2013). After the introductions, I will present my current study where I apply the shot analysis to the Kepler light curve of blazar W2R 1926+42.
12 月 17 日	志達	Tomorrow I will talk about the ASTRO-H mission and discuss its expected contributions to the science on black hole X-ray binaries. References: "The ASTRO-H X-ray Astronomy Satellite" T. Takahashi et al. 2014, Proceedings of the SPIE http://arxiv.org/abs/1412.1356 "ASTRO-H white paper - Stellar-Mass Black Holes" J. M. Miller et al. 2014 http://arxiv.org/abs/1412.1173
1 月 7 日	休会(集中講義)
1 月 14 日	D論発表練習 (市川,志達)	The preparation for the PhD. defense.
1 月 21 日	磯貝	I will talk about the method to estimate mass ratios of cataclismic variables by using stage A superhump. And I introduce my research on estimating the mass ratio of CR Boo, AM CVn-type object.
1 月 28 日	松岡	Tomorrow, I'll talk about my recent work "FIR and accretion luminosities of present-day active galactic nuclei", that I carried out last year at Seoul National University. In this talk, I'll show our results about the relation between star formation luminosity and AGN luminosity of local type-2 AGNs, relating to the AGN -SF connection, based on current FIR facilities (i.e., AKARI and Herschel).
2 月 4 日	M論発表練習 (中田,堀,水野)	The preparation for the Master defense.
