Detection of extended millimeter emission in the host galaxy of 3C273 and its implications for QSO feedback via high dynamic range ALMA imaging
We estimate the amount of negative feedback energy injected into the ISM of
the host galaxy of 3C273, a prototypical radio loud quasar. We obtained 93, 233
and 343 GHz continuum images with the Atacama Large Millimeter/Sub-millimeter
Array (ALMA). After self calibration and point source subtraction, we reach an
image dynamic range of at 93\ GHz, at 233\ GHz and
at 343\ GHz. These are currently the highest image dynamic range
obtained using ALMA. We detect spatially extended millimeter emission
associated with the host galaxy, cospatial with the Extended Emission Line
Region (EELR) observed in the optical. The millimeter spectral energy
distribution and comparison with centimeter data show that the extended
emission cannot be explained by dust thermal emission, synchrotron or thermal
bremsstrahlung arising from massive star formation. We interpret the extended
millimeter emission as thermal bremsstrahlung from gas directly ionized by the
central source. The extended flux indicates that at least of the
bolometric flux of the nuclear source was used to ionize atomic hydrogen in the
host galaxy. The ionized gas is estimated to be as massive as to
, but the molecular gas fraction with respect to the
stellar mass is consistent with other ellipticals, suggesting that direct
ionization ISM by the QSO may not be sufficient to suppress star formation, or
we are witnessing a short timescale before negative feedback becomes
observable. The discovery of a radio counterpart to EELRs provides a new
pathway to studying the QSO-host ISM interaction
Catch performance of coastal squid jigging boats using LED panels in combination with metal halide lamps
Squid attracting light systems consisting of low power light emitting diode panels (LEDs) and conventional metal halide lamps (MHs) were tested to describe the influence of combinations of LEDs and MHs on squid catch. Fishing trials using LEDs (9. kW) and different numbers of MHs were carried out in August and September 2009 targeting two squid species: (1) Japanese common squid Todarodes pacificus in northern waters of the Sea of Japan (off Hokkaido) by 4 coastal squid jigging boats (19 gross tonnage) and (2) swordtip squid Photololigo edulis in western waters (off Iki) by 5 boats of the same class. Catches of both species tended to increase with the number of MHs. Generalized Linear Model analysis revealed that in addition to the number of MHs, the catch amount was influenced by fishing power (ability) of boat and by the monthly variation of squid abundance (only for P. edulis off Iki). The expected catch (number of boxes) was not proportional to the number of MHs. The largest catch was expected for P. edulis off Iki by using LEDs with 24 MHs. The optimal combination of LEDs and MHs for T. pacificus off Hokkaido was less clear because the combination with 36 MHs had the largest positive effect on the catch; this was the maximum number MHs used
X-Ray bright optically faint active galactic nuclei in the Subaru Hyper Suprime-Cam wide survey
We construct a sample of X-ray bright optically faint active galactic nuclei
by combining Subaru Hyper Suprime-Cam, XMM-Newton, and infrared source
catalogs. 53 X-ray sources satisfying i band magnitude fainter than 23.5 mag
and X-ray counts with EPIC-PN detector larger than 70 are selected from 9.1
deg^2, and their spectral energy distributions (SEDs) and X-ray spectra are
analyzed. 44 objects with an X-ray to i-band flux ratio F_X/F_i>10 are
classified as extreme X-ray-to-optical flux sources. SEDs of 48 among 53 are
represented by templates of type 2 AGNs or starforming galaxies and show
signature of stellar emission from host galaxies in the optical in the source
rest frame. Infrared/optical SEDs indicate significant contribution of emission
from dust to infrared fluxes and that the central AGN is dust obscured.
Photometric redshifts determined from the SEDs are in the range of 0.6-2.5.
X-ray spectra are fitted by an absorbed power law model, and the intrinsic
absorption column densities are modest (best-fit log N_H = 20.5-23.5 cm^-2 in
most cases). The absorption corrected X-ray luminosities are in the range of
6x10^42 - 2x10^45 erg s^-1. 20 objects are classified as type 2 quasars based
on X-ray luminsosity and N_H. The optical faintness is explained by a
combination of redshifts (mostly z>1.0), strong dust extinction, and in part a
large ratio of dust/gas.Comment: 25 pages, 14 figures, 5 tables, accepted for publication in PAS
A Wide and Deep Exploration of Radio Galaxies with Subaru HSC (WERGS). II. Physical Properties derived from the SED Fitting with Optical, Infrared, and Radio Data
We present physical properties of radio galaxies (RGs) with 1 mJy discovered by Subaru Hyper Supreme-Cam (HSC) and VLA Faint Images of
the Radio Sky at Twenty-Centimeters (FIRST) survey. For 1056 FIRST RGs at with HSC counterparts in about 100 deg, we compiled
multi-wavelength data of optical, near-infrared (IR), mid-IR, far-IR, and radio
(150 MHz). We derived their color excess (), stellar mass, star
formation rate (SFR), IR luminosity, the ratio of IR and radio luminosity
(), and radio spectral index () that are
derived from the SED fitting with CIGALE. We also estimated Eddington ratio
based on stellar mass and integration of the best-fit SEDs of AGN component. We
found that , SFR, and IR luminosity clearly depend on redshift
while stellar mass, , and do not significantly
depend on redshift. Since optically-faint () RGs that are
newly discovered by our RG survey tend to be high redshift, they tend to not
only have a large dust extinction and low stellar mass but also have high SFR
and AGN luminosity, high IR luminosity, and high Eddington ratio compared to
optically-bright ones. The physical properties of a fraction of RGs in our
sample seem to differ from a classical view of RGs with massive stellar mass,
low SFR, and low Eddington ratio, demonstrating that our RG survey with HSC and
FIRST provides us curious RGs among entire RG population.Comment: 30 pages, 20 figures, and 4 tables, accepted for publication in ApJS.

Generation of human GAPDH knock-in reporter iPSC lines for stable expression of tdTomato in pluripotent and differentiated culture conditions
Human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) can differentiate into multiple cell types and are utilized for research on human development and regenerative medicine. Here, we report the establishment of human GAPDH knock-in reporter iPSC lines (GAPDH-tdT1 and 2), via CRISPR/Cas9-mediated homologous recombination, that stably express tdTomato as a constitutive cell label in both iPSCs and their differentiated derivatives. These cell lines will provide useful tools to trace cell locations and fates in 2D cultures and 3D organoids and will facilitate in vivo experiments
