Convolutional neural network (CNNs) based image diagnosis for failure analysis of power devices
An image diagnosis by deep learning was applied to failure analysis of power devices. A series of images during a process to failure by power cycling test was used for this method. The images were obtained by a scanning acoustic microscopy of our real-time monitoring system. An image classifier was designed based on a convolutional neural network (CNNs). A developed classifier successfully diagnosed input image into a normal device and an abnormal device. The accuracy of classification was improved by introducing a pre-training and an overlapping pooling into the system. A technique to extract a feature related a failure is essential for the failure analysis based on the real-time monitoring and the deep learning is one likely candidate for it
Crescent-Shaped Molecular Outflow from the Intermediate-mass Protostar DK Cha Revealed by ALMA
We report on an Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) study of
the Class I or II intermediate-mass protostar DK Cha in the Chamaeleon II
region. The 12CO (J=2-1) images have an angular resolution of ~1'' (~250 au)
and show high-velocity blueshifted (>70 km s-1) and redshifted (>50 km s-1)
emissions which have 3000 au scale crescent-shaped structures around the
protostellar disk traced in the 1.3mm continuum. Because the high-velocity
components of the CO emission are associated with the protostar, we concluded
that the emission traces the pole-on outflow. The blueshifted outflow lobe has
a clear layered velocity gradient with a higher velocity component located on
the inner side of the crescent shape, which can be explained by a model of an
outflow with a higher velocity in the inner radii. Based on the directly driven
outflow scenario, we estimated the driving radii from the observed outflow
velocities and found that the driving region extends over two orders of
magnitude. The 13CO emission traces a complex envelope structure with arc-like
substructures with lengths of ~1000au. We identified the arc-like structures as
streamers because they appear to be connected to a rotating infalling envelope.
DK Cha is useful for understanding characteristics that are visible by looking
at nearly face-on configurations of young protostellar systems, providing an
alternative perspective for studying the star-formation process.Comment: Accepted for publication in ApJ. 12 pages, 5 figure
Ring Gap Structure around Class I Protostar WL 17
WL 17 is a Class I object and was considered to have a ring-hole structure.
We analyzed the structure around WL 17 to investigate the detailed properties
of WL 17. We used ALMA archival data, which have a higher angular resolution
than previous observations. We investigated the WL 17 system with the 1.3 mm
dust continuum and 12CO and C18O (J = 2-1) line emissions. The dust continuum
emission showed a clear ring structure with inner and outer edges of ~11 and
~21 au, respectively. In addition, we detected an inner disk of < 5 au radius
enclosing the central star within the ring, the first observation of this
structure. Thus, WL 17 has a ring-gap structure, not a ring-hole structure. We
did not detect any marked emission in either the gap or inner disk, indicating
that there is no sign of a planet, circumplanetary disk, or binary companion.
We identified the base of both blue-shifted and red-shifted outflows based on
the 12CO emission, which is clearly associated with the disk around WL 17. The
outflow mass ejection rate is ~3.6x10^-7 Msun yr-1 and the dynamical timescale
is as short as ~ 10^4 yr. The C18O emission showed that an inhomogeneous
infalling envelope, which can induce episodic mass accretion, is distributed in
the region within ~1000 au from the central protostar. With these new findings,
we can constrain the planet formation and dust growth scenarios in the
accretion phase of star formation.Comment: 22 pages, 9 figures, Accepted for publication in the Astrophysical

An Extremely Young Protostellar Core, MMS 1/ OMC-3: Episodic Mass Ejection History Traced by the Micro SiO Jet
We present arcsec (80 au) resolution observations of the CO
(2-1) and SiO (5-4) lines made with the Atacama large millimeter/submillimeter
array toward an extremely young intermediate-mass protostellar source (t1000 years), MMS 1 located in the Orion Molecular Cloud-3 region. We have
successfully imaged a very compact CO molecular outflow associated with MMS 1,
having deprojected lobe sizes of 18000 au (red-shifted lobe) and
35000 au (blue-shifted lobe). We have also detected an extremely compact
(1000 au) and collimated SiO protostellar jet within the CO outflow.
The maximum deprojected jet speed is measured to be as high as 93 km s.
The SiO jet wiggles and displays a chain of knots. Our detection of the
molecular outflow and jet is the first direct evidence that MMS 1 already hosts
a protostar. The position-velocity diagram obtained from the SiO emission shows
two distinct structures: (i) bow-shocks associated with the tips of the
outflow, and (ii) a collimated jet, showing the jet velocities linearly
increasing with the distance from the driving source. Comparisons between the
observations and numerical simulations quantitatively share similarities such
as multiple-mass ejection events within the jet and Hubble-like flow associated
with each mass ejection event. Finally, while there is a weak flux decline seen
in the 850 m light curve obtained with JCMT/SCUBA 2 toward MMS 1, no
dramatic flux change events are detected. This suggests that there has not been
a clear burst event within the last 8 years.Comment: 19 pages, 9 figures, Accepted for publication in Ap
