    Improvement of infrared imaging video bolometer for application to deuterium experiment on the large helical device

    An infrared imaging video bolometer was improved for application to a neutron environment in fusion plasma devices, i.e., the Large Helical Device (LHD). In order to calibrate the thermal characteristics of the activated foil absorber inside the plasma vacuum vessel, the remote-controlled in situ calibration system was improved with high-surface-flatness mirrors. Furthermore, the carbon coating method was improved by introducing a vacuum evaporation technique instead of the conventional spray technique to realize the coating on both sides of the absorber with reproducibility and uniformity. The optimal thickness of the coating was also determined. Owing to these coating improvements, the reproducibility of the effective emissivity on both sides especially was improved. Finally, the variation with the neutron irradiation of the thermal characteristics of the foil absorber was investigated. It was found that the effect was not significant for the total neutron emission of 3.6 × 1018 on LHD

    Discovery of a Long-duration Superflare on a Young Solar-type Star EK Draconis with Nearly Similar Time Evolution for H alpha and White-light Emissions

    Young solar-type stars are known to show frequent "superflares, " which may severely influence the habitable worlds on young planets via intense radiation and coronal mass ejections. Here we report an optical spectroscopic and photometric observation of a long-duration superflare on the young solar-type star EK Draconis (50-120 Myr age) with the Seimei telescope and Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite. The flare energy 2.6 x 10³⁴ erg and white-light flare duration 2.2 hr are much larger than those of the largest solar flares, and this is the largest superflare on a solar-type star ever detected by optical spectroscopy. The H alpha emission profile shows no significant line asymmetry, meaning no signature of a filament eruption, unlike the only previous detection of a superflare on this star. Also, it did not show significant line broadening, indicating that the nonthermal heating at the flare footpoints is not essential or that the footpoints are behind the limb. The time evolution and duration of the H alpha flare are surprisingly almost the same as those of the white-light flare, which is different from general M-dwarf (super-)flares and solar flares. This unexpected time evolution may suggest that different radiation mechanisms than general solar flares are predominant, such as: (1) radiation from (off-limb) flare loops and (2) re-radiation via radiative back-warming, in both of which the cooling timescales of flare loops could determine the timescales of H alpha and white light

    太陽型星のスーパーフレアから噴出する巨大フィラメントを初検出 --昔の、そして今の惑星環境や文明に与える脅威--. 京都大学プレスリリース. 2021-12-10.Solar flares are often accompanied by filament/prominence eruptions (~10⁴ K and ~10¹⁰⁻¹¹ cm⁻³), sometimes leading to coronal mass ejections that directly affect the Earth’s environment. ‘Superflares’ are found on some active solar-type (G-type main-sequence) stars, but the filament eruption–coronal mass ejection association has not been established. Here we show that our optical spectroscopic observation of the young solar-type star EK Draconis reveals evidence for a stellar filament eruption associated with a superflare. This superflare emitted a radiated energy of 2.0 × 10³³ erg, and a blueshifted hydrogen absorption component with a high velocity of −510 km s⁻¹ was observed shortly afterwards. The temporal changes in the spectra strongly resemble those of solar filament eruptions. Comparing this eruption with solar filament eruptions in terms of the length scale and velocity strongly suggests that a stellar coronal mass ejection occurred. The erupted filament mass of 1.1 × 10¹⁸ g is ten times larger than those of the largest solar coronal mass ejections. The massive filament eruption and an associated coronal mass ejection provide the opportunity to evaluate how they affect the environment of young exoplanets/the young Earth6 and stellar mass/angular momentum evolution

    Single-field inflation, anomalous enhancement of superhorizon fluctuations, and non-Gaussianity in primordial black hole formation

    Full text link
    We show a text-book potential for single-field inflation, namely, the Coleman-Weinberg model can induce double inflation and formation of primordial black holes (PBHs), because fluctuations that leave the horizon near the end of first inflation are anomalously enhanced at the onset of second inflation when the time-dependent mode turns to a growing mode rather than a decaying mode. The mass of PBHs produced in this mechanism lies in several discrete ranges depending on the model parameters. We also calculate the effects of non-Gaussian statistics due to higher-order interactions on the abundance of PBHs, which turns out to be small.Comment: 22pages, 8figure
