The first detected gravitational wave from a neutron star merger was GW170817. In this study, we present J-GEM follow-up observations of SSS17a, an electromagnetic counterpart SSS17a shows 2.5-mag decline in the $z$-band 1.7 days to 7.7 after merger. Such rapid is not comparable with supernovae light curves at any epoch. color also evolves rapidly and becomes redder for later epochs; $z-H$ changed by approximately 2.5 mag period 0.7 days. evolution both optical brightness are consistent...

The nearby radio galaxy M87 is a prime target for studying black hole accretion and jet formation1,2. Event Horizon Telescope observations of in 2017, at wavelength 1.3 mm, revealed ring-like structure, which was interpreted as gravitationally lensed emission around central hole3. Here we report images obtained 2018, 3.5 showing that the compact core spatially resolved. High-resolution imaging shows structure [Formula: see text] Schwarzschild radii diameter, approximately 50% larger than...

We report on results from new high-sensitivity, high-resolution 86GHz (3.5 millimeter) observations of the jet base in nearby radio galaxy M87, obtained by Very Long Baseline Array conjunction with Green Bank Telescope. The resulting image has a dynamic range exceeding 1500 to 1, highest ever achieved for this at frequency, resolving and imaging detailed formation/collimation structure down ~10 Schwarzschild radii (Rs). clearly confirms some important features known lower frequencies, i.e.,...

We investigated the detailed inner jet structure of M87 using Very Long Baseline Array data at 2, 5, 8.4, 15, 23.8, 43, and 86 GHz, especially focusing on multi-frequency properties radio core base. First, we measured a size region transverse to axis, defined as $W_{\rm c}$, each frequency \nu, found relation between c}$ $\nu$ c}(\nu) \propto \nu^{-0.71\pm0.05}$. Then, by combining c}(\nu)$ dependence position $r_{\rm c}(\nu)$, which was obtained our previous study, have constructed...

A major goal of the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) is to make accurate images with resolutions tens milliarcseconds, which at submillimeter (submm) wavelengths requires baselines up ~15 km. To develop and test this capability, a Long Baseline Campaign (LBC) was carried out from September late November 2014, culminating in end-to-end observations, calibrations, imaging selected Science Verification (SV) targets. This paper presents an overview campaign its main results,...

We present a study of the sub-parsec scale radio structure galaxy 3C 84/NGC 1275 based on Very Long Baseline Array data at 43 GHz. discover limb brightening in "restarted" jet that is associated with 2005 outburst. In 1990s, was ridge rather than brightening, despite observations being done similar angular resolutions. This indicates transverse has recently changed. change morphology reveals an interesting agreement γ-ray flux increase, i.e., 1990s least seven times lower current one. One...

The velocity field of the M87 jet from milli-arcsecond (mas) to arcsecond scales is extensively investigated together with new radio images taken by EVN observations. We detected proper motions components located at between 160 mas core and HST-1 complex for first time. Newly derived fields exhibits a systematic increase sub-to-superluminal speed in upstream HST-1. If we assume that observed velocities reflect bulk flow, here suggest may be gradually accelerated through distance 10^6 times...

Abstract The mechanisms causing millimeter-wave polarization in protoplanetary disks are under debate. To disentangle the mechanisms, we observe disk around HL Tau at 3.1 mm with Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), which had detected CARMA 1.3 mm. We successfully detect ring-like azimuthal polarized emission This indicates that dust grains aligned major axis being direction, is consistent theory of radiative alignment elongated grains, where perpendicular to radiation flux....

Abstract The origin of polarized emission from protoplanetary disks is uncertain. Three mechanisms have been proposed for this emission: grain alignment with magnetic fields, radiation gradients, and self-scattering thermal dust emission. Aiming to observationally identify the polarization mechanisms, we present ALMA observations 0.87 mm continuum toward circumstellar disk around HD 142527 high spatial resolution. We confirm that vectors in northern region are consistent self-scattering....

Abstract The M87 jet is extensively examined by utilizing general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (GRMHD) simulations, as well the steady axisymmetric force-free electrodynamic (FFE) solution. Quasi-steady funnel jets are obtained in GRMHD simulations up to scale of ∼100 gravitational radii ( r g ) for various black hole (BH) spins. As known, edge approximately determined following equipartitions: (i) magnetic and rest-mass energy densities (ii) gas pressures. Our numerical results give an...
