眞山 聡 氏 (総研大)

「すばる+ALMA及びコンピュータシミュレーションで探る連星系原始惑星系円盤」
"Subaru + ALMA Observations and numerical simulations of Protoplanetary Disks in a Young Multiple star"

Protoplanetary disks afford a key to an understanding of the formation of our Solar System 
and other planetary systems.  They are the ingredients of planets and play important roles 
in early stellar evolution.  If a forming star with a protoplanetary disk has close companions, 
the disk may be seriously influenced.  This effect should not be ovelooked 
because most stars form as multiples.  Studies of protoplanetary disks in multiple systems are 
thus important to unravel the general process of star and planet formation. 
From this point of view, we conducted Subaru direct observations of protoplanetary disks 
in multiple systems.  High angular resolution near-infrared adaptive optics images of 
young binaries were obtained with the infrared camera Coronagraphic Imager 
with Adaptive Optics mounted on the 8.2m Subaru Telescope. Our 0."1 resolution images 
resolve complex circumstellar structures around binary systems.  We present our observational 
result as well as 2D and 3D numerical simulations which reproduce accretion onto the binary system. 
Additionally, our observational future plans of multiple protoplanetary disks using ALMA will be introduced.

Gaston Folatelli 氏 (東京大学・IPMU)

"What spectra reveal of Type Ia Supernovae"

I will address the importance of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) as astrophysical objects, 
and also as distance indicators for cosmology. Based on data from the Carnegie Supernova 
Project (CSP), I will describe how precision distances are obtained, with a detailed characterization 
of reddening. The role of optical spectroscopy in improving our understanding of the physical 
nature of these events will be addressed. In particular, I will show a recent finding of unburned 
material in a significant fraction of SNe Ia, and its implications on explosion physics.

Wolfgang Gieren 氏 (Universidad de Concepcion)

"Improving the extragalactic distance scale with stellar distance indicators: The Araucaria Project"

I will review recent progress made in our project towards calibrating the classical Cepheid 
period-luminosity (PL) relation, both from observing Cepheid samples in nearby galaxies 
in optical and near-infrared bands, and by applying the Infrared Surface Brightness Technique 
to Cepheids in the Milky Way and the Magellanic Clouds. 
Evidence is presented that the K-band PL relation is universal (e.g. independent of the metallicity 
of the calibrating or target Cepheid samples), and a best absolute PL relation is presented 
which can be readily used to measure a precision distance to any galaxy containg classical Cepheids.

I will also review recent progress in using late-type eclipsing binary systems in the Magellanic Clouds 
for deriving distances of exquisite (3%) accuracy to the Clouds, setting a very accurate zero point 
for the distance scale. I will further present our recent determination of the first accurate dynamical 
masses of two classical Cepheids in the LMC which settle the Cepheid mass discrepancy problem 
and improve the physical knowledge of Cepheid stars as primary distance indicators.

Finally, I will highlight a new spectroscopic method to measure accurate distances
to spiral galaxies from their blue supergiant population, and demonstrate that this new 
technique yields distance results in very good agreement with Cepheids. 
Quantitative spectroscopy of blue supergiants is also an excellent means to establish correct, 
unbiased metallicity gradients in the disks of spiral galaxies 
which are an essential input for galaxy formation and evolution scenarios.
