Abstract We present the direct-imaging discovery of a substellar companion in orbit around Sun-like star member Hyades open cluster. So far, no other companions have been unambiguously confirmed via direct imaging main-sequence stars Hyades. The HIP 21152 is an accelerating as identified by astrometry from Gaia and Hipparcos satellites. detected companion, B, multiple epochs using high-contrast SCExAO/CHARIS Keck/NIRC2. also obtained stellar radial-velocity data Okayama 188 cm telescope....
Recent discoveries of Earth-sized planets transiting nearby M dwarfs have made it possible to characterize the atmospheres terrestrial via follow-up spectroscopic observations. However, number such receiving low insolation is still small, limiting our ability understand diversity atmospheric composition and climates temperate planets. We report discovery an planet (12 pc) inactive M3.0 dwarf Gliese 12 (TOI-6251) with orbital period ($P_{\rm{orb}}$) 12.76 days. The planet, 12b, was initially...

By global modeling high-precision data taken Subaru/HDS photometric ones by mission taking account orbital brightness modulations (ellipsoidal variations, reflected/emitted light, etc.) stars, we independently confirmed that hosts...

Abstract We report on a radial-velocity search for short-period planets in the Pleiades open cluster. observed 30 member stars at Okayama Astrophysical Observatory with High Dispersion Echelle Spectrograph. To evaluate and mitigate effects of stellar activity (RV) measurements, we computed four indicators (full width half maximum, Vspan, Wspan, SHα). Among our sample, no planet candidates were detected. Stellar intrinsic RV jitter was estimated to be 52 m s−1, 128 173 s−1 $v$ sin i 10 km 15...
We report the detection of radial velocity variations in nine evolved G- and K-type giant stars. The observations were conducted at Okayama Astrophysical Observatory. Planets or planet candidates can best explain these regular variations. However, a coincidence near 280-day variability among five them prevents us from fully ruling out stellar origins for some variations, since all stars behave similarly properties. In hypotheses to RV planets (including one candidate) may survive close...
We report the results of quasi-simultaneous multiwavelength (near-infrared, optical, UV, and X-ray) observations Galactic X-ray black hole binary MAXI J1820+070 performed in 2019 May 10-13, $\sim 60$ days after onset first rebrightening phase. It showed a much larger optical-to-X-ray luminosity ratio ($\sim 8$) than initial outburst epoch. The primary components spectral energy distribution (SED) can be best interpreted by radiatively inefficient accretion flow (RIAF) spectrum showing peak...
