■ Paper- Context. Spectroscopic observations by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have revealed young, compact, high-redshift ( z ) galaxies with high nitrogen-to-oxygen (N/O) ratios. GN-z11 at z = 10.6 is one of these galaxies. Aims. One possible scenario for such a high N/O ratio is pollution from supermassive stars (SMSs), from which stellar winds are expected to be nitrogen-rich. The abundance pattern is determined by both galaxy evolution and SMS pollution, but so far, simple one-zone models have been used. Using a galaxy formation simulation, we tested the SMS scenario. Methods. We used a cosmological zoom-in simulation that includes chemical evolution driven by rotating massive stars (Wolf-Rayet stars), supernovae, and asymptotic giant branch stars. As a post-process, we assumed the formation of an SMS with a mass between 10 3 and 10 5 M ⊙ and investigated the contribution of its ejecta to the abundance pattern. Results. The N/O ratio was enhanced by the SMS ejecta, and the abundance pattern of GN-z11, including the carbon-to-oxygen and oxygen-to-hydrogen ratios, was reproduced by our SMS pollution model if the pollution mass fraction ranges between 10–30 percent. This pollution fraction can be realized when the gas ionized by the SMS is polluted, and the gas density is 10 4 − 10 5 cm −3 assuming a Strömgren sphere. We also compared the abundance pattern with those of other N/O-enhanced high- z galaxies. Some of these galaxies can also be explained by SMS pollution.EDP Sciences, Jun. 2026, Astronomy & Astrophysics, 710, A239 - A239, English[Refereed]Scientific journal

- Abstract To study the formation of star clusters and their properties in a dwarf–dwarf merging galaxy, we have performed a numerical simulation of a dwarf–dwarf galaxy merger by using the Tree+GRAPE $N$-body/SPH code ASURA. In our simulation, 13 young star clusters are formed during the merger process. We show that our simulated star clusters can be divided into two types: with and without [Fe$/$H] abundance variations. The former is created by a seed star cluster (the first-generation stars) formed in compressed gas. These stars contaminate the surrounding gas by Type II supernovae. At that time, the energy injection is insufficient to induce an outflow of the surrounding gas. After that, the contaminated gas falls into the seed, thereby forming a new generation of stars from the contaminated gas. We also show that most star clusters are formed in the galactic central region after the second encounter and fall into the galactic center due to dynamical friction within several hundred Myr. As a result, close encounters and mergers between the clusters take place. Although the clusters with shallower gravitational potential are tidally disrupted by these close encounters, others survive and finally merge at the center of the merged dwarf galaxies to create a nuclear star cluster. Therefore, the nuclear star cluster comprises various stellar components in ${[\rm Fe/H]}$ abundance and age. We discuss our work in the context of observations and demonstrate the diagnostic power of high-resolution simulations in the context of star cluster formation.Oxford University Press (OUP), Feb. 2025, Publications of the Astronomical Society of Japan, 77(2) (2), 370 - 380, English[Refereed]Scientific journal

- Abstract The chemical abundances of Milky Way’s (MW's) satellites reflect their star formation histories (SFHs), yet, due to the difficulty of determining the ages of old stars, the SFHs of most satellites are poorly measured. Ongoing and upcoming surveys will obtain around 10 times more medium-resolution spectra for stars in satellites than are currently available. To correctly extract SFHs from large samples of chemical abundances, the relationship between chemical abundances and SFHs needs to be clarified. Here, we perform a high-resolution cosmological zoom-in simulation of a MW-like galaxy with detailed models of star formation, supernova (SN) feedback, and metal diffusion. We quantify SFHs, metallicity distribution functions, and the α-element (Mg, Ca, and Si) abundances in satellites of the host galaxy. We find that star formation in most simulated satellites is quenched before infalling to their host. Star formation episodes in simulated satellites are separated by a few hundred Myr owing to SN feedback; each star formation event produces groups of stars with similar [α/Fe] and [Fe/H]. We then perform a mock observation of the upcoming Subaru Prime Focus Spectrograph (PFS) observations. We find that Subaru PFS will be able to detect distinct groups of stars in [α/Fe] versus [Fe/H] space, produced by episodic star formation. This result means that episodic SFHs can be estimated from the chemical abundances of ≳1000 stars determined with medium-resolution spectroscopy.American Astronomical Society, Jul. 2024, The Astrophysical Journal, 970(2) (2), 105 - 105[Refereed]Scientific journal
- Intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) are those between 100 and 10 5 solar masses ( M ⨀ ); their formation process is debated. One potential origin is the growth of less massive black holes, by merging with stars and compact objects within globular clusters (GCs). However, previous simulations have indicated that this process only produces IMBHs <500 M ⨀ , before gravitational wave recoil ejects them from the GC. We perform star-by-star simulations of GC formation, finding that high-density star formation in a GC's parent giant molecular cloud can produce sufficient mergers of massive stars to overcome that mass threshold. We conclude that GCs can form with IMBHs ≳10 3 M ⨀ , which is sufficiently massive to be retained within the GC even with the expected gravitational wave recoil.American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), May 2024, Science[Refereed]Scientific journal
- Abstract We have studied the evolution of the central hundred parsec region of barred galaxies by performing numerical simulations realizing the multi-phase nature of gas. Our simulations have shown that a stellar bar produces an oval gas ring, namely the x-2 ring, within 1 kpc as the bar grows. The ring is self-gravitationally unstable enough to trigger the formation of gas clouds. Although the gas clouds initially rotate in the x-2 ring, cloud–cloud collisions and$/$or energy injections into the gas ring by Type II supernovae causes some of the clouds to deviate from the ring orbit. After the deviation, the deviated clouds repeat collisions with the other clouds, which rotate in the x-2 ring, during several rotations. These processes effectively reduce the angular momentum of the deviated gas cloud. As a result, the gas cloud finally falls into the galactic center, and episodic gas supply to the galactic center takes place.Oxford University Press (OUP), Mar. 2024, Publications of the Astronomical Society of Japan, 76(2) (2), 285 - 292, English[Refereed]Scientific journal
- Surrogate Modeling for Computationally Expensive Simulations of Supernovae in High-Resolution Galaxy SimulationsSome stars are known to explode at the end of their lives, called supernovae (SNe). The substantial amount of matter and energy that SNe release provides significant feedback to star formation and gas dynamics in a galaxy. SNe release a substantial amount of matter and energy to the interstellar medium, resulting in significant feedback to star formation and gas dynamics in a galaxy. While such feedback has a crucial role in galaxy formation and evolution, in simulations of galaxy formation, it has only been implemented using simple {\it sub-grid models} instead of numerically solving the evolution of gas elements around SNe in detail due to a lack of resolution. We develop a method combining machine learning and Gibbs sampling to predict how a supernova (SN) affects the surrounding gas. The fidelity of our model in the thermal energy and momentum distribution outperforms the low-resolution SN simulations. Our method can replace the SN sub-grid models and help properly simulate un-resolved SN feedback in galaxy formation simulations. We find that employing our new approach reduces the necessary computational cost to $\sim$ 1 percent compared to directly resolving SN feedback.Nov. 2023

- ABSTRACT The Orion Nebula Cluster (ONC) is an excellent example for understanding the formation of star clusters. Recent studies have shown that ONC has three distinct age populations and anisotropy in velocity dispersions, which are key characteristics for understanding the formation history of the ONC. In this study, we perform a smoothed-particle hydrodynamics/N-body simulation of star cluster formation from a turbulent molecular cloud. In this simulation, stellar orbits are integrated using a high-order integrator without gravitational softening; therefore, we can follow the collisional evolution of star clusters. We find that hierarchical formation causes episodic star formation that is observed in the ONC. In our simulation, star clusters evolve due to mergers of subclumps. The mergers bring cold gas with the clumps into the forming cluster. This enhances the star formation in the cluster centre. The dense cold gas in the cluster centre continues to form stars until the latest time. This explains the compact distribution of the youngest stars observed in the ONC. Subclump mergers also contribute to the anisotropy in the velocity dispersions and the formation of runaway stars. However, the anisotropy disappears within 0.5 Myr. The virial ratio of the cluster also increases after a merger due to the runaways. These results suggest that the ONC recently experienced a clump merger. We predict that most runaways originated from the ONC have already been found, but walkaways have not.Oxford University Press (OUP), Jun. 2022, Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 514(2) (2), 2513 - 2526[Refereed]Scientific journal
- ABSTRACT Massive stars born in star clusters terminate star cluster formation by ionizing the surrounding gas. This process is considered to be prevalent in young star clusters containing massive stars. The Orion Nebula is an excellent example associated with a forming star cluster including several massive stars (the Orion Nebula Cluster, ONC) and a 2-pc-sized H ii region (ionized bubble) opening towards the observer; however, the other side is still covered with dense molecular gas. Recent astrometric data acquired by the Gaia satellite revealed the stellar kinematics in this region. By comparing these data with star cluster formation simulation results, we demonstrate that massive stars born in the ONC centre were ejected via three-body encounters. Further, orbit analysis indicates that θ2 Ori A, the second massive star in this region, was ejected from the ONC centre towards the observer and is now returning to the cluster centre. Such ejected massive stars can form a hole in the dense molecular cloud and contribute to the formation of the 2-pc bubble. Our results demonstrate that the dynamics of massive stars are essential for the formation of star clusters and H ii regions that are not always centred by massive stars.Oxford University Press (OUP), Jun. 2022, Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 514(1) (1), 43 - 54[Refereed]Scientific journal

ABSTRACT 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 > 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.[Refereed]Scientific journal - Journal of the Physical Society of Japan, Mar. 2020, JPS Conference Proceedings, 31(011009) (011009), English[Refereed]International conference proceedings

- We report on the current status of the radial velocity monitoring of nearby OB stars to look for binaries with small mass ratios. The combined data of radial velocities using the domestic 1-2 m-class telescopes seems to confirm the variations of radial velocities in a few weeks for four out of ten target single-lined spectroscopic binaries. More data are needed to estimate the exact periods and mass distributions.Dec. 2018, Stars and Galaxies, 1, 1 - 7[Refereed]

- Recently, several gravitational wave detections have shown evidence for compact object mergers. However, the astrophysical origin of merging binaries is not well understood. Stellar binaries are typically at much larger separations than what is needed for the binaries to merge due to gravitational wave emission, which leads to the so-called final AU problem. In this Letter we propose a new channel for mergers of compact object binaries which solves the final AU problem. We examine the binary evolution following gas expansion due to a weak failed supernova explosion, neutrino mass loss, core disturbance, or envelope instability. In such situations the binary is possibly hardened by ambient gas. We investigate the evolution of the binary system after a shock has propagated by performing smoothed particle hydrodynamics simulations. We find that significant binary hardening occurs when the gas mass bound to the binary exceeds that of the compact objects. This mechanism represents a new possibility for the pathway to mergers for gravitational wave events.Jun. 2018, Physical Review Letters, 120(26) (26), 261101 - 261101, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal

- Abstract Small integration timesteps for a small fraction of the particles become a bottleneck for future galaxy simulations with a higher resolution, especially for massively parallel computing. As we increase the resolution, we must resolve physics on a smaller timescale while the total integration time is fixed as the universe age. The small timesteps for a small fraction of the particles worsen the scalability. More specifically, the regions affected by supernovae (SN) have the smallest timestep in the whole galaxy. Using a Hamiltonian splitting method, we calculate the SN regions with small timesteps using a few thousand CPU cores but integrate the entire galaxy using a shared timestep. For this approach, we need to pick up particles in regions, which will be affected by SN (the target particles) by the next global step (the integration timestep for the entire galaxy) in advance. In this work, we developed the deep learning model to predict the region where the shell due to a supernova explosion expands during one global step. In addition, we identify the target particles using image processing of the density distribution predicted by our deep learning model. Our algorithm could identify the target particles better than the method based on the analytical solution. This particle selection method using deep learning and the Hamiltonian splitting method will improve the performance of galaxy simulations with extremely high resolution.IOP Publishing, 01 Mar. 2022, Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2207(1) (1), 012050 - 012050, EnglishIntroduction international proceedings
- Abstract The Orion Nebula Cluster (ONC) is one of the nearest open clusters, which we can directly compare to numerical simulations. We performed a simulation of star cluster formation similar to the ONC using our new N-body/smoothed particle hydrodynamics code, ASURA+BRIDGE. We found that the hierarchical formation of star clusters via clump mergers can explain the observed three peaks in the stellar age distribution as well as the dynamically anisotropic structures of the ONC.Cambridge University Press (CUP), Jun. 2020, Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 16(S362) (S362), 258 - 261, EnglishIntroduction international proceedings
- Abstract The load imbalance and communication overhead of parallel computing are crucial bottlenecks for galaxy simulations. A successful way to improve the scalability of astronomical simulations is a Hamiltonian splitting method, which needs to identify such regions integrated with smaller timesteps than the global timestep for integrating the entire galaxy. In the case of galaxy simulations, the regions inside supernova (SN) shells require the smallest steps. We developed the deep learning model to forecast the region affected by the SN shell’s expansion during one global step. In addition, we identified the particles with small timesteps using image processing. We can identify target particles using our method with a higher identification rate (88 % to 98 % on average) and lower “non-target”-to-“target” fraction (6.4 to 5.5 on average) compared to the analytic approach with the Sedov-Taylor solution. Our method using Hamiltonian splitting and deep learning will improve the performance of extremely high-resolution galaxy simulations.Cambridge University Press (CUP), Jun. 2020, Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 16(S362) (S362), 209 - 214, EnglishIntroduction international proceedings

For this purpose, we have developed a new N-body/hydrodynamics code, in which we can calculate the motion of individual stars more accurately than previous studies. Using this code, we performed star-cluster formation simulations starting from molecular clouds, in which stars and star clusters form. We performed a series of simulations by changing the initial mass and density of the molecular clouds and obtained the mass function of star clusters formed in turbulent molecular clouds.

However, the relationship between the dynamics of the bar and spirals and the mixing processes has not been fully revealed. In this study, we investigated the dynamics and mixing process of the spiral arms and bar by N-body/hydrodynamics simulations. As a result, we found that the orbital migration of stars differs greatly depending on the dynamics of the spiral arms. We also proposed a new method to estimate the formation epoch of the Galactic bar structure, which will contribute greatly to the future observation plan. Furthermore, by comparing the results with the latest Gaia data, we have obtained new knowledge about the large-scale velocity structure, Local arms, and bar of the Milky Way.

We have also conducted a survey project to detect the observational counterpart of the proposed model by looking for binary system in the progenitors of supernovae. The greatest achievement of this study is that we present a new methodology to find the evidence of the survivors of the first stars in the present universe.
- Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research Grant-in-Aid for Young Scientists (A), Grant-in-Aid for Young Scientists (A), 01 Apr. 2014 - 31 Mar. 2019I carried out galaxy formation simulations using a DISPH method, a efficient feedback models, and chemical evolution models. First, I studied the capability of DISPH for cosmological simulations, I applied DISPH to simulations of clusters of galaxies. DISPH can provide a reasonable result which is almost the same as those with other state-of-the-art numerical schemes. In order to integrate the latest results of stellar evolution to galaxy formation smoothly, I, then, developed an open-source software library, CELib, which handles everything regarding chemical evolution. Using CELIb, I studied the impacts of chemical evolution model on galaxy formation and origin of elements.
