  • Submillimeter Galaxies (SMGs) are high-redshift galaxies undergone extremely intense starbursts. Their UV radiation is heavily extinguished by dust and is re-radiated in the far-IR and submillimeter. They are thought to be progenitors of present-day giant elliptical galaxies and can be tracers of the highest density environment at high redshift. However, because of the low angular resolution of existing single-dish submillimeter telescopes, the progress in understanding the SMG population has been remarkably slow. In this talk, I will outline the outstanding issues in this field, and introduce our Submillimeter Array interferometric studies of SMGs. I will also discuss possible new research that will be enabled by next-generation instruments such as ALMA and LMT.

  • We have constructed the Mount Fuji submillimeter-wave telescope at Nishiyasugawara (alt. 3725 m) near the summit of Mt. Fuji (alt. 3774 m). Thanks to the excellent condition of Mt. Fuji, we have successfully carried out the [CI] survey toward more than 40 square degrees of sky, including qrion MC, Taurus MC, Rosetta MC, DR 15, DR 21, NGC 1333, NGC 2264, W 3, W 44, W 51, L 134, p-Oph. Our [CI] survey have revealed that the [CI] 492 GHz emission widely extends to the molecular clouds. The spatial and velocity structures of the [CI] 492 GHz emission resemble those of 13CO J=l-0 in many molecular clouds, implying that [CI] 492 GHz and $^{13}CO$ J=1-0 are emitted from the same gas. The column density of $C^o$ linearly correlates with that of CO up to high Av, suggesting that $C^o$ exist in the deep interior of molecular clouds. In several regions, we have found that the distributions of $C^o$ and CO are different from each other. The $C^o$-rich area is found in the Hieles' cloud 2. The C+/CO/$C^o$ configuration is found in DR 15, p-Oph, M 17, Orion KL, and NGC 1333. These results indicate that an origin of $C^o$ is unrelated with the photodissociation process. We discuss the observed $C^o$ distributions in relation to the non-equilibrium chemistry.

  • The Submillimeter Array (SMA), a collaborative project of the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO) and the Academia Sinica Institute of Astronomy & Astrophysics (ASIAA), has begun operation on Mauna Kea in Hawaii. A total of eight 6-m radio telescopes comprise the array with currently working receiver bands at 230, 345, and 690 GHz. The array will have 8 receiver bands covering the frequency range of 180-900 GHz. The backend is flexible analog-digital correlator with a full bandwidth of 2GHz, which is very powerful to cover several line emissions simultaneously. The current status and future plans of the SMA are described with emphasis on Taiwanese efforts.

  • Submillimeter galaxies are the progenitors of massive galaxy formation, and therefore their interaction with the early intergalactic medium must be an important subject in the cosmology and galaxy astrophysics. However, their detailed relation between the galaxies and surrounding environments is still largely unknown. In this poster, we will present the characteristics of their surrounding environments of a large sample of mm-detected submillimeter galaxies. We will also discuss the proposal for the future observations of these galaxies and their environments using the ALMA and the GMT.

  • Formation processes of high-mass stars have been long-standing issues in astronomy and astrophysics. This is mainly because of major difficulties in observational studies such as a smaller number of high-mass young stellar objects (YSOs), larger distances, and more complex structures in young high-mass clusters compared with nearby low-mass isolated star-forming regions (SFRs), and extremely large opacity of interstellar dust except for centimeter to submillimeter wavelengths. High resolution and high sensitivity observations with Atacama Large Millimeter/Submillimeter Array (ALMA) at millimeter/submillimeter wavelengths will overcome these observational difficulties even for statistical studies with increasing number of high-mass YSO samples. This review will summarize recent progresses in high-mass star-formation studies with ALMA such as clumps and filaments in giant molecular cloud complexes and infrared dark clouds (IRDCs), protostellar disks and outflows in dense cores, chemistry, masers, and accretion bursts in high-mass SFRs.

  • Development of bolometer array and camera at millimeter and submillimeter wavelengths plays an important role for detecting submillimeter galaxies (SMGs) which appear to be very bright at the submillimeter and millimeter wavelengths. These SMGs, luminous infrared galaxies detected at mm/submm wavelengths seem to be progenitors of present-day massive galaxies and account for their considerable contributions to the light from the early universe and their expected high star formation rates (SFRs) if there is a close link between the SMG phenomena and the star formation activities and the interstellar dust in galaxies is mainly heated by the star light. In this talk, we review assembly of SMGs compiled with observations using the bolometer arrays and cameras and investigate their spectral energy distribution fits including the data at other wavelengths which trace the photometric properties and the red-shift distribution of galaxies. We find that these bright SMGs significantly contribute to the cosmic star formation rate density at red-shifts of 2-3 (about 8 %) for the spatial distribution of these galaxies.

  • SCUBA-2 North Ecliptic Pole survey, one of the ongoing JCMT large programs, is designed to obtain 850 ㎛ imaging data over ~4 deg2 around the NEP based on the AKARI NEP-Wide survey. By August 2019, the program is 50 % complete in terms of observing time, increasing the submillimeter coverage by a factor of 2 with the comparable depth. The rms measured in the deepest center is 0.92 mJy/beam, slightly above the 850 ㎛ confusion limit. With 4 σ detection, the source count is 50 % complete at 9 mJy. The surface density of submillimeter galaxies at this flux limit is 200 deg-2. Multi-wavelength identification of the 850 ㎛ sources was done through the likelihood analysis based on the far-infrared (250-500 ㎛), mid-infrared (18 ㎛), near-infrared (2-4 ㎛), and optical (i-band) source catalog. We are going to present morphologies and physical properties of 850 ㎛ selected submillimeter galaxies with the help of ancillary multi-wavelength datasets over the NEP area.

  • 본 논문에서는 서브 밀리미터 직경의 카테터 표면 위에 금속 마이크로 와이어를 접착하는 공정을 연구하였다. 최근 유연 전자 디바이스 분야는 유연한 평면 폴리머 기판과 그 기판 위의 마이크로 전극 공정이 계속해서 연구되고 있다. 하지만, 의료 분야에서는 카테터와 같이 곡면을 가진 기판이 중요하다. 특히 카테터 중에서도 여러 한계점을 가진 뇌혈관 수술을 개선하기 위한 서브 밀리미터의 직경을 가진 조향 가능한 카테터의 중요성이 대두되고 있다. 이러한 카테터를 구현하기 위해 조향을 위한 엑추에이터들은 연구가 되고 있지만 이를 구동하기 위한 배선 연구는 진행된 바가 없다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 이러한 서브 밀리미터 카테터 위에 마이크로 금속 와이어를 접착하는 공정을 개발하였다. 적합한 지그를 설계함으로써 마이크로 와이어를 서브 밀리미터 직경의 카테터에 정렬한다. 그리고 자외선 경화 시스템과 상용품을 이용하여 공정 시간 및 공정 비용을 감소시켰다. 상용품으로 골드 마이크로 와이어, 자외선 경화 에폭시, 자외선 램프 그리고 서브 밀리미터 카테터를 이용하였다. 공정 후 카테터는 광학 현미경, 저항 측정기, 만능 시험기를 통해 분석하였다.

  • Most of the stellar mass accretes during the early evolutionary stage of protostars. However, the accretion process in protostars is in a veil of the thick envelope. Monitoring the submillimeter emission from the envelope is a way to trace the accretion process in protostars since the submillimeter emission linearly responses to the temperature of the envelope, which is heated by the accretion process at the center. In the JCMT transient Survey, we detected a submillimeter variable, EC 53. EC 53 is a Class 1 protostar that was known to have a periodic variation at NIR. EC 53 has been monitored with United Kingdom InfraRed Telescope (UKIRT), Liverpool telescope, and JCMT/SCUBA-2 since we detected the 850 ㎛ flux enhancement in the JCMT transient survey. We also adopt the photometric data sets of Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE). Over all wavelengths from NIR to submillimeter, we see two modes of variation, a 1.5-years periodic variation and a long-term increase. We present the light curves of EC 53 at multi-wavelengths and discuss the cause of variability in EC 53.
