2. Science Achievements • 1) High redshift galaxies Narrow-band imaging to survey for Lyman Alpha Emitters • 2) Hypernova – GRB connection Spectrophotometry of core-collapse SNe
World record of the most distant galaxies redshift 8m telescope CCD Redshift 4m telescopes IOK-1 (Iye et al. Nature 2006)
The most distant galaxy 12.8 Gyr ago (z=6.964). Iye et al. 2006, Nature, 443, 186 1 / 41,533
Guinness record (for 1052 days)*New record will arrive at 95% confidence level at earliest in 27 days and at latest in 112 years. @July 25, 2009
Cosmic Dawn Beginning of reionization LAEs are decreasing in number from z=5.7, z=6.6, to z=7.0 => Due to intergalactic absorption fo Lyman α photons by neutral hydrogen. End of re-inoization
SN 2003dh/ GRB 030329 SN 2002ap Connection of GRB and Hypernovae Polarimetric Spectroscopy Kawabata, Mazzali,…. • SN 2002ap • No GRB • Hypernova • Polarized SED shows high velocity GRB • SN 2003dh/GRB 030329 • Jet along the l-o-s. • Hypernova epoch back-dating coincided with GRB event • No polarization Jet visible only from its direction jet Asymmetric Explosion Polarized Scattered Light Jet
