This article presents a theoretical framework for the evolution of the light-element nuclides in the Galactic disk. By understanding this evolution correctly...
Development and quality control of PMT modules for the large-sized telescopes of the Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory
The camera of the Large-Sized Telescopes (LSTs) of the Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory (CTAO) consists of 1855 pixels that are grouped into 265 high...
Development of Al-Nb Hybrid Lumped-Element Kinetic Inductance Detectors for Infrared Photon Detection
A direct detection experiment with gallium arsenide (GaAs) as a cryogenic scintillator is proposed to search for dark matter in the mass range below 1 GeV . To...
Development of Fast and Precise Scan Mirror Mechanism for an Airborne Solar Telescope
We developed a scan mirror mechanism (SMM) that enable a slit-based spectrometer or spectropolarimeter to precisely and quickly map an astronomical object. The...
Development of image texture analysis technique for boulder distribution measurements: Applications to asteroids Ryugu and Itokawa
Recent asteroid missions have revealed that many sub-kilometer asteroids are rubble piles. Large parts of their surfaces are covered with boulders larger than...
Diagnostic capabilities of spectropolarimetric observations for understanding solar phenomena. I. Zeeman-sensitive photospheric lines
Future ground-based telescopes will expand our capabilities for simultaneous multi-line polarimetric observations in a wide range of wavelengths, from the near...
Diagnostic potential of the Ca II 8542 Å line for solar filaments
Aims: In this study we explore the diagnostic potential of the chromospheric Ca II line at 8542 Å for studying the magnetic and dynamic properties of solar...
Diagnostics of the underlying physical differences between flocculent and well-defined spiral galaxies
From published catalogs, basic physical properties including diameters, masses, and neutral hydrogen contents of spiral galaxies have been studied as a function...
Diagonal Ridge Pattern of Different Age Populations Found in Gaia-DR2 with LAMOST Main-sequence Turnoff and OB-type Stars
We revisit the diagonal ridge feature (diagonal distributions in the R, v φ plane) found in Gaia and present a timing analysis for it between Galactocentric...
