ON SHOCKS DRIVEN BY HIGH-MASS PLANETS IN RADIATIVELY INEFFICIENT DISKS. I. TWO-DIMENSIONAL GLOBAL DISK SIMULATIONS
Recent observations of gaps and non-axisymmetric features in the dust distributions of transition disks have been interpreted as evidence of embedded massive protoplanets. However, comparing the…
Turbulence in the interstellar medium
Turbulence is ubiquitous in the insterstellar medium and plays a major role in several processes such as the formation of dense structures and stars, the stability of molecular clouds, the…
Kinematics of Spiral-Arm Streaming in M51
We use CO and Hα velocity fields to study the gas kinematics in the spiral arms and interarms of M51 (NGC 5194), and fit the 2D velocity field to estimate the radial and tangential velocity…
Multi-Wavelength Observations and Modeling of Loop I
The article aims to overview the origin and current dynamical state of a giant structure on the northern galactic sky—the radio Loop I extending from ≈ − 45 ∘ to ≈ + 45 ∘ in longitudes and up to ≈ 80…

A number of giant cometary HII regions (GCH) sheathed inside molecular bow shocks (MBS) are found along spiral arms of the barred galaxy M83. The open cone structure is explained by a model of…
FOREST Unbiased Galactic Plane Imaging Survey with the Nobeyama 45 m telescope (FUGIN). IV. Galactic shock wave and molecular bow shock in the 4 kpc arm of the Galaxy
The FUGIN CO survey revealed the three-dimensional structure of a galactic shock wave in the tangential direction of the 4 kpc molecular arm. The shock front is located at G30.5+00.0 + 95 km s−1 on…
MHD simulations of ram pressure stripping of a disc galaxy
The removal of the interstellar medium (ISM) of disk galaxies through ram pressure stripping (RPS) has been extensively studied in numerous simulations. Nevertheless, the role of magnetic fields (MF)…
Global enhancement and structure formation of the magnetic field in spiral galaxies
We study numerically large-scale magnetic field evolution and its enhancement in gaseous disks of spiral galaxies. We consider a set of models with the various spiral pattern parameters and the…
On Shocks Driven by High-mass Planets in Radiatively Inefficient Disks. III. Observational Signatures in Thermal Emission and Scattered Light
Recent observations of the protoplanetary disk around the Herbig Be star HD 100546 show two bright features in infrared (H and bands) at about 50 au,with one so far unexplained. We explore the…
Young and turbulent: the early life of massive galaxy progenitors
We present results from the ‘Ponos’ simulation suite on the early evolution of a massive, M_vir(z = 0) = 1.2 × 10^13 M_⊙ galaxy. At z ≳ 6, before feedback from a central supermassive black hole…
