Phase Field Model for Dynamics of Sweeping Interface

Motivated by the drying pattern experiment by Yamazaki and Mizuguchi[J. Phys. Soc. Jpn. {\bf 69} (2000) 2387], we propose the dynamics of sweeping interface, in which material distributed over a region is swept by a moving interface. A model based on a phase field is constructed and results of numerical simulations are presented for one and two dimensions. Relevance of the present model to the drying experiment is discussed.Comment: 4 pages, 7 figure

Relationships between a roller and a dynamic pressure distribution in circular hydraulic jumps

We investigated numerically the relation between a roller and the pressure distribution to clarify the dynamics of the roller in circular hydraulic jumps. We found that a roller which characterizes a type II jump is associated with two high pressure regions after the jump, while a type I jump (without the roller) is associated with only one high pressure region. Our numerical results show that building up an appropriate pressure field is essential for a roller.Comment: 10 pages, 7 PS files. To appear in PR

The Star Formation Rate and Metallicity of the Host Galaxy of the Dark GRB 080325 at z = 1.78

We present near-infrared spectroscopy of the host galaxy of the dark gamma-ray burst (GRB) 080325 using Subaru/Multi-Object Infrared Camera and Spectrograph. The obtained spectrum provides a clear detection of H emission and marginal [Nii]λ6584. The host is a massive (M∗ ∼ 1011 Mȯ), dusty (Av ∼ 1.2) star-forming galaxy at z = 1.78. The extinction-corrected star formation rate (SFR) calculated from the H luminosity (35.6-47.0 Mȯ yr-1) is typical among GRB host galaxies (and star-forming galaxies generally) at z > 1; however, the specific SFR is lower than for normal star-forming galaxies at redshift ∼1.6, in contrast to the high specific SFR measured for many of other GRB hosts. The metallicity of the host is estimated to be 12 + log(O/H)KK04 = 8.88. We emphasize that this is one of the most massive host galaxies at z > for which metallicity is measured with emission-line diagnostics. The metallicity is fairly high among GRB hosts, however, this is still lower than the metallicity of normal star-forming galaxies of the same mass at z ∼ 1.6. The metallicity offset from normal star-forming galaxies is close to a typical value of other GRB hosts and indicates that GRB host galaxies are uniformly biased toward low metallicity over a wide range of redshifts and stellar masses. The low-metallicity nature of the GRB 080325 host likely cannot be attributed to the fundamental metallicity relation of star-forming galaxies because it is a metal-poor outlier from the relation and has a low specific star formation rate. Thus, we conclude that metallicity is important to the mechanism that produced this GRB. © 2015. The American Astronomical Society. All rights reserved

Initial Results from the Nobeyama Molecular Gas Observations of Distant Bright Galaxies

We present initial results from the CO survey toward high redshift galaxies using the Nobeyama 45m telescope. Using the new wide bandwidth spectrometer equipped with a two-beam SIS receiver, we have robust new detections of three high redshift (z=1.6-3.4) submillimeter galaxies (SXDF 1100.001, SDP9, and SDP17), one tentative detection (SDSS J160705+533558), and one non-detection (COSMOS-AzTEC1). The galaxies observed during the commissioning phase are sources with known spectroscopic redshifts from previous optical or from wide-band submm spectroscopy. The derived molecular gas mass and line widths from Gaussian fits are ~10^11 Msun and 430-530 km/s, which are consistent with previous CO observations of distant submm galaxies and quasars. The spectrometer that allows a maximum of 32 GHz instantaneous bandwidth will provide new science capabilities at the Nobeyama 45m telescope, allowing us to determine redshifts of bright submm selected galaxies without any prior redshift information.Comment: 4 pages, 1 figure, PASJ Letter Accepte
