1999 Leonid MAC report
Brief Biographical Information:
Graduated at the National Astronomical Observatory Japan in 2001 on a thesis
based on Leonid MAC research.
Thesis advisor: Prof. Dr. Juiniche Watanabe. MS, in Solar Wind Group,
Solar Terrestrial Environement Laboraotry (Division of Particle and
Astrophysical Sciences). BS, in Dept. of Aerospace Engineering of
Nihon University. Born in Planet of AVECK (near Tokyo), but grew up in Saitama ken
Kawaguchi-shi (Japan).
Research:
- Spectrographic Observations of Meteor Train of Leonids
- Pons-Winneckids - Radio Observations of Meteor Outburst on June 27-29, 1999
- FOCAS Grism Experiments of FOCAS Grism for SUBARU Telescope
- Search for Extrasolar Planets using Low Radio Frequencies
- Solar Wind Interaction with Cometary Plasma - Two-Dimensional MHD Simulations
- EKBOs(Edgeworth Kuiper Belt Objects)
- Solar Wind Data Tools
- Theory of Interplanetary Scintillation
Research on Leonid MAC:
Near-UV spectroscopy of meteors and trains. High resolution spectrum.
I wrote my thesis on meteor spectroscopy, based on
Low-resolution spectroscopy
of a Leonid train and the meteor spectroscopy performed using High Definition TV
cameras onboard the
1999 Leonid MAC mission. I found that excitation temperatures
for metal atom emissions are very similar to those measured for the air plasma, supporting
the new model where most emission occurs in the meteor wake.
