  英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, ABSTRACT
  
  We have investigated the redshift evolution of the relationship between supermassive black hole (SMBH) mass and host bulge mass using a semi-analytical galaxy formation model ν2GC. Our model reproduces the relation in the local universe well. We find that, at high redshift (z ≳ 3), two sequences appear in the SMBH mass–bulge mass plane. The emergence of these two sequences can be attributed to the primary triggers of the growth of the SMBHs and bulges: galaxy mergers and disc instabilities. The growth of SMBHs and bulges as a result of galaxy mergers is responsible for giving rise to the high-mass sequence, in which SMBHs are more massive for a given host bulge mass than in the low-mas sequence. Conversely, disc instabilities are accountable for the emergence of the low-mass sequence. At lower redshifts, galaxy mergers tend to become increasingly deficient in gas, resulting in a preferential increase of bulge mass without a corresponding growth in SMBH mass. This has the effect of causing galaxies in the upper sequence to shift towards the lower one on the SMBH mass–bulge mass plane. The galaxies that undergo dry mergers serve to bridge the gap between the two sequences, eventually leading to convergence into a single relation known in the local universe. Our results suggest that the observations of the SMBH mass–bulge mass relation in high redshifts can provide insight into their growth mechanisms.
• Cloud-cloud collisions triggering star formation in galaxy simulations

  Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2024年02月, ［査読有り］
  研究論文（学術雑誌）, Cloud-cloud collisions (CCCs) are expected to compress gas and trigger star formation. However, it is not well understood how the collisions and the induced star formation affect galactic-scale properties. By developing an on-the-fly algorithm to identify CCCs at each time-step in a galaxy simulation and a model that relates CCC-triggered star formation to collision speeds, we perform simulations of isolated galaxies to study the evolution of galaxies and giant molecular clouds (GMCs) with prescriptions of self-consistent CCC-driven star formation and stellar feedback. We find that the simulation with the CCC-triggered star formation produces slightly higher star formation rates and a steeper Kennicutt-Schmidt relation than that with a more standard star formation recipe, although collision speeds and frequencies are insensitive to the star formation models. In the simulation with the CCC model, about $70{ { \ \rm per\ cent } }$ of the stars are born via CCCs, and colliding GMCs with masses of $\approx 10^{5.5}\, \mbox{$\rm M_{\odot}$}$ are the main drivers of CCC-driven star formation. In the simulation with the standard star formation recipe, about 50 per cent of stars are born in colliding GMCs even without the CCC-triggered star formation model. These results suggest that CCCs may be one of the most important star formation processes in galaxy evolution. Furthermore, we find that a post-processing analysis of CCCs, as used in previous studies in galaxy simulations, may lead to slightly greater collision speeds and significantly lower collision frequencies than the on-the-fly analysis....

• Updated Measurements of [O III] 88 μm, [C II] 158 μm, and Dust Continuum Emission from a z = 7.2 Galaxy

  研究論文（学術雑誌）, We present updated measurements of the [O III] 88 μm, [C II] 158 μm, and dust continuum emission from a star-forming galaxy at z = 7.212, SXDF-NB1006-2, by utilizing Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) archival data sets analysed in previous studies and data sets that have not been analysed before. The follow-up ALMA observations with higher angular resolution and sensitivity reveal a clumpy structure of the [O III] emission on a scale of 0.32-0.85 kpc. We also combined all the ALMA [O III] ([C II]) data sets and updated the [O III] ([C II]) detection to 5.9σ (3.6σ-4.5σ). The non-detection of [C II] with data from the REBELS large program implies the incompleteness of spectral-scan surveys using [C II] to detect galaxies with high star formation rates (SFRs) but marginal [C II] emission at high-z. The dust continuum at 90 and 160 μm remains undetected, indicating little dust content of <3.9 × 10⁶ M _⊙ (3σ), and we obtained a more stringent constraint on the total infrared luminosity. We updated the [O III]/[C II] luminosity ratios to 10.2 ± 4.7 (6.1 ± 3.5) and 20 ± 12 (9.6 ± 6.1) for the 4.5σ and 3.6σ [C II] detections, respectively, where the ratios in the parentheses are corrected for the surface brightness dimming effect on the extended [C II] emission. We also found a strong [C II] deficit (0.6-1.3 dex) between SXDF-NB1006-2 and the mean L _{[C II]}-SFR relation of galaxies at 0 < z < 9....

  研究論文（学術雑誌）, We conduct a ¹²C¹⁶O(J = 1-0) (hereafter CO) mapping survey of 64 galaxies in the Fornax cluster using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array Morita array in cycle 5. CO emission is detected from 23 out of the 64 galaxies. Our sample includes dwarf, spiral, and elliptical galaxies with stellar masses of M _star ~ 10^6.3-11.6 M _⊙. The achieved beam size and sensitivity are 15″ × 8″ and ~12 mJy beam^-1 at the velocity resolution of ~10 km s^-1, respectively. We study the cold gas (molecular and atomic gas) properties of 38 subsamples with M _star > 10⁹ M _⊙ combined with literature H I data. We find that (1) the low star formation (SF) activity in the Fornax galaxies is caused by the decrease in the cold gas mass fraction with respect to stellar mass (hereafter, gas fraction) rather than the decrease of the SF efficiency from the cold gas; (2) the atomic gas fraction is more heavily reduced than the molecular gas fraction of such galaxies with low SF activity. A comparison between the cold gas properties of the Fornax galaxies and their environmental properties suggests that the atomic gas is stripped tidally and by the ram pressure, which leads to the molecular gas depletion with an aid of the strangulation and consequently SF quenching. Preprocesses in the group environment would also play a role in reducing cold gas reservoirs in some Fornax galaxies....
• Origin of highly r-process-enhanced stars in a cosmological zoom-in simulation of a Milky Way-like galaxy

  研究論文（学術雑誌）, The r-process-enhanced (RPE) stars provide fossil records of the assembly history of the Milky Way (MW) and the nucleosynthesis of the heaviest elements. Observations by the R-Process Alliance (RPA) and others have confirmed that many RPE stars are associated with chemo-dynamically tagged groups, which likely came from accreted dwarf galaxies of the MW. However, we do not know how RPE stars are formed. Here, we present the result of a cosmological zoom-in simulation of an MW-like galaxy with r-process enrichment, performed with the highest resolution in both time and mass. Thanks to this advancement, unlike previous simulations, we find that most highly RPE (r-II; [Eu/Fe] > +0.7) stars are formed in low-mass dwarf galaxies that have been enriched in r-process elements for [Fe/H] $\lt -2.5$, while those with higher metallicity are formed in situ, in locally enhanced gas clumps that were not necessarily members of dwarf galaxies. This result suggests that low-mass accreted dwarf galaxies are the main formation site of r-II stars with [Fe/H] $\, \lt -2.5$. We also find that most low-metallicity r-II stars exhibit halo-like kinematics. Some r-II stars formed in the same halo show low dispersions in [Fe/H] and somewhat larger dispersions of [Eu/Fe], similar to the observations. The fraction of simulated r-II stars is commensurate with observations from the RPA, and the distribution of the predicted [Eu/Fe] for halo r-II stars matches that observed. These results demonstrate that RPE stars can be valuable probes of the accretion of dwarf galaxies in the early stages of their formation....
• Modelling self-interacting dark matter substructures – I.  Calibration with N-body simulations of a Milky-Way-sized halo and its satellite
  Masato Shirasaki; Takashi Okamoto; Shin’ichiro Ando
  Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2022年09月23日, ［査読有り］
  研究論文（学術雑誌）, We study evolution of single subhaloes with their masses of ~10⁹ M_⊙ in a Milky Way-sized host halo for self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) models. We perform dark-matter-only N-body simulations of dynamical evolution of individual subhaloes orbiting its host by varying self-scattering cross-sections (including a velocity-dependent scenario), subhalo orbits, and internal properties of the subhalo. We calibrate a gravothermal fluid model to predict time evolution in spherical mass density profiles of isolated SIDM haloes with the simulations. We find that tidal effects of SIDM subhaloes can be described with a framework developed for the case of collision-less cold dark matter (CDM), but a shorter typical time-scale for the mass loss due to tidal stripping is required to explain our SIDM simulation results. As long as the cross-section is less than $\sim \! 10\, \mathrm{cm}^2\,\mathrm{g}^{ -1}$ and initial states of subhaloes are set within a 2σ-level scatter at redshifts of ~2 predicted by the standard ΛCDM cosmology, our simulations do not exhibit a prominent feature of gravothermal collapse in the subhalo central density for 10 Gyr. We develop a semi-analytic model of SIDM subhaloes in a time-evolving density core of the host with tidal stripping and self-scattering ram pressure effects. Our semi-analytic approach provides a simple, efficient, and physically intuitive prediction of SIDM subhaloes, but further improvements are needed to account for baryonic effects in the host and the gravothermal instability accelerated by tidal stripping effects....
• The Missing Satellite Problem outside of the Local Group. II. Statistical Properties of Satellites of Milky Way-like Galaxies

  The Astrophysical Journal, 2022年09月, ［査読有り］
  研究論文（学術雑誌）, We present a new observation of satellite galaxies around seven Milky Way (MW)-like galaxies located outside of the Local Group (LG) using Subaru/Hyper Suprime-Cam imaging data to statistically address the missing satellite problem. We select satellite galaxy candidates using magnitude, surface brightness, Sérsic index, axial ratio, FWHM, and surface brightness fluctuation cuts, followed by visual screening of false positives such as optical ghosts of bright stars. We identify 51 secure dwarf satellite galaxies within the virial radius of nine host galaxies, two of which are drawn from the pilot observation presented in Paper I. We find that the average luminosity function of the satellite galaxies is consistent with that of the MW satellites, although the luminosity function of each host galaxy varies significantly. We observe an indication that more massive hosts tend to have a larger number of satellites. Physical properties of the satellites such as the size-luminosity relation are also consistent with the MW satellites. However, the spatial distribution is different; we find that the satellite galaxies outside of the LG show no sign of concentration or alignment, while that of the MW satellites is more concentrated around the host and exhibits a significant alignment. As we focus on relatively massive satellites with M _V < -10, we do not expect that the observational incompleteness can be responsible here. This trend might represent a peculiarity of the MW satellites, and further work is needed to understand its origin....

• Testing the effect of resolution on gravitational fragmentation with Lagrangian hydrodynamic schemes
  Yasuyoshi Yamamoto; Takashi Okamoto; Takayuki R Saitoh
  Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 504, 3, 3986, 3995, Oxford University Press ({OUP}), 2021年05月11日, ［査読有り］, ［責任著者］
  研究論文（学術雑誌）,
  To study the resolution required for simulating gravitational fragmentation with newly developed Lagrangian hydrodynamic schemes, meshless finite-volume method (MFV) and meshless finite-mass method, we have performed a number of simulations of the Jeans test and compared the results with both the expected analytical solution and results from the more standard Lagrangian approach: smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH). We find that the different schemes converge to the analytical solution when the diameter of a fluid element is smaller than a quarter of the Jeans wavelength, λJ. Among the three schemes, SPH/MFV shows the fastest/slowest convergence to the analytical solution. Unlike the well-known behaviour of Eulerian schemes, none of the Lagrangian schemes investigated displays artificial fragmentation when the perturbation wavelength, λ, is shorter than λJ, even at low numerical resolution. For larger wavelengths (λ &gt; λJ), the growth of the perturbation is delayed when it is not well resolved. Furthermore, with poor resolution, the fragmentation seen with the MFV scheme proceeds very differently compared to the converged solution. All these results suggest that, when unresolved, the ratio of the magnitude of hydrodynamic force to that of self-gravity at the sub-resolution scale is the largest/smallest in MFV/SPH, the reasons for which we have discussed in detail. These tests are repeated to investigate the effect of kernels of higher order than the fiducial cubic spline. Our results indicate that the standard deviation of the kernel is a more appropriate definition of the ‘size’ of a fluid element than its compact support radius.
• A puzzling non-detection of [O III] and [C II] from a z ≈ 7.7 galaxy observed with ALMA

  研究論文（学術雑誌）, Context. Characterizing the galaxy population in the early Universe holds the key to understanding the evolution of these objects and the role they played in cosmic reionization. However, there have been very few observations at the very highest redshifts to date.
  
  
  Aims. In order to shed light on the properties of galaxies in the high-redshift Universe and their interstellar media, we observe the Lyman-α emitting galaxy z7_GSD_3811 at z = 7.664 with bands 6 and 8 at the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA).
  
  
  Methods. We target the far-infrared [O III] 88 μm and [C II] 158 μm emission lines and dust continuum in the star-forming galaxy z7_GSD_3811 with ALMA. We combine these measurements with earlier observations in the rest-frame ultraviolet (UV) in order to characterize the object and compare the results to those of earlier studies that observed [O III] and [C II] emission in high-redshift galaxies.
  
  
  Results. The [O III] 88 μm and [C II] 158 μm emission lines are undetected at the position of z7_GSD_3811, with 3σ upper limits of 1.6  ×  10⁸ L_⊙ and 4.0  ×  10⁷ L_⊙, respectively. We do not detect any dust continuum in band 6 nor band 8. The measured rms in the band 8 and band 6 continua are 26 and 9.9 μJy beam⁻¹, respectively. Similar to several other high-redshift galaxies, z7_GSD_3811 exhibits low [C II] emission for its star formation rate compared to local galaxies. Furthermore, our upper limit on the [O III] line luminosity is lower than the previously observed [O III] lines in high-redshift galaxies with similar UV luminosities. Our ALMA band 6 and 8 dust continuum observations imply that z7_GSD_3811 likely has a low dust content, and our non-detections of the [O III] and [C II] lines could indicate that z7_GSD_3811 has a low metallicity (Z ≲ 0.1 Z_⊙).

• Massive core/star formation triggered by cloud–cloud collision: Effect of magnetic field

  研究論文（学術雑誌）, Abstract
  
  We study the effect of magnetic field on massive dense core formation in colliding unequal molecular clouds by performing magnetohydrodynamic simulations with sub-parsec resolution (0.015 pc) that can resolve the molecular cores. Initial clouds with the typical gas density of the molecular clouds are immersed in various uniform magnetic fields. The turbulent magnetic fields in the clouds consistent with the observation by Crutcher et al. (2010, ApJ, 725, 466) are generated by the internal turbulent gas motion before the collision, if the uniform magnetic field strength is 4.0 μG. The collision speed of 10 km s−1 is adopted, which is much larger than the sound speeds and the Alfvén speeds of the clouds. We identify gas clumps with gas densities greater than 5 × 10−20 g cm−3 as the dense cores and trace them throughout the simulations to investigate their mass evolution and gravitational boundness. We show that a greater number of massive, gravitationally bound cores are formed in the strong magnetic field (4.0 μG) models than the weak magnetic field (0.1 μG) models. This is partly because the strong magnetic field suppresses the spatial shifts of the shocked layer that should be caused by the nonlinear thin shell instability. The spatial shifts promote the formation of low-mass dense cores in the weak magnetic field models. The strong magnetic fields also support low-mass dense cores against gravitational collapse. We show that the numbers of massive, gravitationally bound cores formed in the strong magnetic field models are much larger than in the isolated, non-colliding cloud models, which are simulated for comparison. We discuss the implications of our numerical results on massive star formation.

  研究論文（学術雑誌）, We present ALMA detection of the [O iii] 88 μm line and 850 μm dust continuum emission in a Y-dropout Lyman break galaxy, MACS0416_Y1. The [O iii] detection confirms the object with a spectroscopic redshift to be z = 8.3118±0.0003. The 850 μm continuum intensity (0.14 mJy) implies a large dust mass on the order of 4×10⁶M_⊙. The ultraviolet-to-far infrared spectral energy distribution modeling, where the [O iii] emissivity model is incorporated, suggests the presence of a young (τ_age ≍ 4 Myr), star-forming (SFR ≍ 60M_⊙yr⁻¹), and moderately metal-polluted (Z ≍ 0.2Z_⊙) stellar component with a stellar mass of 3 × 10⁸M_⊙. An analytic dust mass evolution model with a single episode of star formation does not reproduce the metallicity and dust mass in ≍ 4 Myr, suggesting an underlying evolved stellar component as the origin of the dust mass.

• Theoretical Re-evaluations of Scaling Relations between SMBHs and Their Host Galaxies - 2. Importance of AGN Feedback Suggested by Stellar Age - Velocity Dispersion Relation
  Shirakata, Hikari; Kawaguchi, Toshihiro; Okamoto, Takashi; Ishiyama, Tomoaki
  Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2017年09月
  研究論文（学術雑誌）, We present the galactic stellar age - velocity dispersion relation obtained from a semi-analytic model of galaxy formation. We divide galaxies into two populations: galaxies which have over-massive/under-massive black holes (BHs) against the best-fitting BH mass - velocity dispersion relation. We find that galaxies with larger velocity dispersion have older stellar ages. We also find that galaxies with over-massive BHs have older stellar ages. These results are consistent with observational results obtained from Martin-Navarro et al. (2016). We tested the model with weak AGN feedback and find that galaxies with larger velocity dispersion have a younger stellar age....

• ALMA Will Determine the Spectroscopic Redshift z > 8 with FIR [O III] Emission Lines
  Inoue, A. K.; Shimizu, I.; Tamura, Y.; Matsuo, H.; Okamoto, T.; Yoshida, N.
  The Astrophysical Journal, 2014年01月, ［査読有り］
  研究論文（学術雑誌）, We investigate the potential use of nebular emission lines in the rest-frame far-infrared (FIR) for determining spectroscopic redshift of z > 8 galaxies with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). After making a line emissivity model as a function of metallicity, especially for the [O III] 88 μm line which is likely to be the strongest FIR line from H II regions, we predict the line fluxes from high-z galaxies based on a cosmological hydrodynamics simulation of galaxy formation. Since the metallicity of galaxies reaches at ~0.2 Z _☉ even at z > 8 in our simulation, we expect the [O III] 88 μm line as strong as 1.3 mJy for 27 AB objects, which is detectable at a high significance by <1 hr integration with ALMA. Therefore, the [O III] 88 μm line would be the best tool to confirm the spectroscopic redshifts beyond z = 8....

• Calibrating an updated smoothed particle hydrodynamics scheme within gcd+
  Kawata, D.; Okamoto, T.; Gibson, B. K.; Barnes, D. J.; Cen, R.
  Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2013年01月, ［査読有り］
  研究論文（学術雑誌）, We adapt a modern scheme of smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) to our tree N-body/SPH galactic chemodynamics code gcd+. The applied scheme includes implementations of the artificial viscosity switch and artificial thermal conductivity proposed by Morris & Monaghan, Rosswog & Price and Price to model discontinuities and Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities more accurately. We first present hydrodynamics test simulations and contrast the results to runs undertaken without artificial viscosity switch or thermal conduction. In addition, we also explore the different levels of smoothing by adopting larger or smaller smoothing lengths, i.e. a larger or smaller number of neighbour particles, N_nb. We demonstrate that the new version of gcd+ is capable of modelling Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities to a similar level as the mesh code, athena. From the Gresho vortex, point-like explosion and self-similar collapse tests, we conclude that setting the smoothing length to keep N_nb as high as ∼58 is preferable to adopting smaller smoothing lengths. We present our optimized parameter sets from the hydrodynamics tests....

  In this paper, we introduce Project "Origin of the Milkyway". This project aims at reliable modeling of the formation history of our Galaxy (i.e., the Milkyway), as a typical spiral galaxy, with the mass resolution 2-3 orders of magnitude higher than what has been achieved so far. In order to achieve such state-of-the-art simulations, we construct two beowulf type PC-clusters with GRAPE-6A/7, and we develop a new N-body/SPH code for parallel computing., 日本流体力学会, 日本語

  銀河団内に形成される巨大楕円銀河は現在ほとんど星形成活動をしていない．このような大質量銀河の星形成を抑制するには銀河中心に存在する超大質量ブラックホール (SMBH) をエンジンとする活動銀河核からのエネルギー放出 (AGN フィードバック) が必要であると考えられている．2019 年度は，この SMBH の成長と AGN フィードバックを宇宙論的銀河形成シミュレーションで銀河形成と整合的に扱うためのシミュレーションコードを開発した．その際，シミュレーションの分解能に結果が強く依存しないように，SMBH へのガス降着は高分解能シミュレーションの結果にもとづいて実装した．
  まず，AGN フィードバックよりも超新星爆発が星形成の抑制を担っていると考えられている天の川銀河程度の質量の銀河のシミュレーションをそれぞれ AGN フィードバックをありとなしの 2 種類行った．AGN フィードバックとしては AGN 光度の 2% (降着質量エネルギーの 0.2%）をフィードバックの効率として仮定した．
  その結果，AGN フィードバックを入れても，母銀河の星形成史はそれがない場合と比較してほとんど変化しなかった．一方，SMBH の成長は AGN フィードバックにより強く抑制されて，最終的な SMBH の質量は AGN フィードバックを考慮したものの方がそうでもないものよりも1桁以上小さかった．
  このことは，バルジの星質量や速度分散と SMBH 質量の観測的関係を用いて AGN フィードバックの効率を決定できることを意味する．こうして決定した AGN フィードバックを用いて大質量銀河のシミュレーション（そこでは AGN フィードバックにより銀河の星形成が抑制されていると考えられている）を行うことにより，AGN フィードバックに今回考えたものと別のモードが必要かどうかを明らかにできる．

• 銀河形成シミュレーションで探る衛星銀河サブハロー構造のダークマターモデル依存性
  科学研究費助成事業
  2018年04月01日 - 2020年03月31日
  岡本 崇
  高分解能の天の川質量銀河の形成シミュレーションを実行した．これは衛星銀河のダークマターハロー（サブハロー）の構造を十分に扱える高分解能シミュレーションである．そのさい，一般的に仮定されるコールドダークマター (CDM) だけでなく，ダークマター同士が弾性衝突をする self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) も考慮できるシミュレーションコードを開発した．また，サブハローの構造に大きな影響を与えると考えられている超新星爆発の影響を，超新星残骸の高分解能シミュレーションの結果を用いて物理的に正しい形で取り入れた．SIDM には観測的な制限の範囲内で矮小銀河スケールで CDM と大きく異なる振る舞いをするように，相対速度が小さいほど衝突断面積が大きくなるモデルを採用した．
  その結果，CDM と SIDM の両者で局所銀河群の衛星銀河の観測的性質は再現できた．一方，両者の違いは V-band で -10 等より暗いところで顕著であり，特徴的な半径内のダークマターの面密度や光度関数をそのような暗い衛星銀河にについて求めることで区別可能であることを示した．
  また，CDM と SIDM では衛星銀河の空間分布に大きな違いがあることが明らかになった．これは SIDM ではサブハローの中心密度が下がることにより，潮汐力によりホストダークマターハロー中心部の衛星銀河が破壊されてしまうためである．このため，天の川銀河近傍の衛星銀河の分布を調べることでもダークマターの性質に制限をつけられることがわかった．

  銀河風と呼ばれる銀河から銀河間空間へのガスの流出現象を解明するため、そこで重要な役割を果たしていると考えられている大質量星から輻射の影響を調べた。そのために並列計算機を用いて効率的に輻射輸送を解くコードを開発した。また、ダストに対する輻射圧が銀河風を駆動する過程を簡単なモデルとして宇宙論的銀河形成シミュレーションに組み込み、この過程なしでは、星形成銀河のガスの金属量進化を説明できないことを明らかにした。

• 三次元輻射流体シミュレーションで探る銀河形成の物理
  科学研究費補助金(若手研究(スタートアップ), 研究活動スタート支援)
  2009年 - 2010年
  岡本 崇
  輻射輸送は,宇宙物理学において極めて基本的かつ重要な物理過程であり,例えばガスの冷却,大質量星や銀河中心超巨大ブラックホールからの輻射によるガスの光電離加熱や輻射圧による銀河風の駆動など,銀河形成においても無視できない役割を担っているはずである.しかしながら,空間3次元,角度2次元,波長1次元の計6次元を扱わねばならないという多次元性のために,現在までの研究ではその効果はほぼ無視されてきた.本研究では,輻射輸送計算の精度を落とさずに大幅に加速する新たなアルゴリズムを開発し,実際にその性能と精度を確認した.その結果既存のアルゴリズムでは実現不可能であった多数の光源を用いた輻射輸送計算を可能にした.この手法を用いることにより,銀河内の星による輻射性フィードバックの効果等を定量的に調べることが可能になり,銀河形成に対する理解が深まることが期待される.今後は流体計算,自己重力計算コードと統合し,上記の,大質量星や銀河中心超巨大ブラックホールからの輻射が銀河形成に果たす役割を明らかにしていく計画である.
  また,大規模な銀河形成シミュレーションを行い,銀河のハロー星の起源についても研究を行った.その結果,現在の標準的な宇宙モデルの元では,銀河系のハロー星を説明することが困難であることを明らかにした.

• 星間ガスの内部構造及びダストの分布を考慮した銀河の形成進化の研究
  科学研究費助成事業 特別研究員奨励費
  2004年 - 2006年
  岡本 崇
  自己重力・流体力学用シュミレーションコードに、銀河形成を調べる上で必要となる、ガス冷却、星形成、超新星爆発によるガスの過熱と重元素汚染等の効果を組み入れ、宇宙論的な銀河形成を研究できるようにした。さらに、銀河中心巨大ブラックホールの共進化を調べた。結果は、国際会議「Mapping the Galaxy and Nearby Galaxies]で報告した。現在Monthly Notice of Royal Astronomical Societyに論文を投稿中である。
  また、過去に行った宇宙論的な銀河形成シュミレーションを解析することにより、何故天の川銀河の衛星銀河はほぼ同一平面状に分布しているのか、またその平面はなぜ銀河円盤と直行しているのかを明らかにした(Libeskind et al. 2007).
  準解析的モデルを用いて、階層的構造形成の元で、銀河内の星の重元素量比と金属量の間の関係が自然に説明できることを示した。また、星形成のタイムスケールの違いにより、銀河円盤と銀河バルジでは、金属量の確率分布及び重元素量比と金属量の間の関係が異なる可能性を指摘した(Nagasima and Okamoto 2006).
