Near-infrared coronagraph imager on the Subaru 8m telescope (2009)

Koji Murakawa, Hiroshi Suto, Motohide Tamura, Hideki Takami, Naruhisa Takato, Saeko S. Hayashi, ...

We introduce a near-infrared camera named coronagraph imager with adaptive optics (CIAO) mounted on the Subaru 8m telescope. Combined with the Subaru 36 elements adaptive optics (AO), CIAO can...

A Young Brown Dwarf Companion to DH Tauri (2004)

Itoh, Yoichi, Hayashi, Masahiko, Tamura, Motohide, Tsuji, Takashi, Oasa, Yumiko, Fukagawa, Misato, ...

We present the detection of a young brown dwarf companion DH Tau B associated with the classical T Tauri star DH Tau. Near-infrared coronagraphic observations with CIAO on the Subaru Telescope have...

High resolution imaging polarimetry of HL Tau and magnetic field structure (2004)

Lucas, P. W., Fukagawa, Misato, Tamura, Motohide, Beckford, A. F., Itoh, Yoichi, Murakawa, Koji, ...

We present high quality near infrared imaging polarimetry of HL Tau at 0.4 to 0.6 arcsec resolution, obtained with Subaru/CIAO and UKIRT/IRCAM. 3-D Monte Carlo modelling with aligned oblate grains is...

Current Performance and On-Going Improvements of the 8.2 m Subaru Telescope (2004)

Iye, Masanori, Karoji, Hiroshi, Ando, Hiroyasu, Kaifu, Norio, Kodaira, Keiichi

An overview of the current status of the 8.2 m Subaru Telescope constructed and operated at Mauna Kea, Hawaii, by the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan is presented. The basic design concept...

CIAO: Coronagraphic imager with adaptive optics on the Subaru Telescope (2004)

Murakawa, Koji, Suto, Hiroshi, Tamura, Motohide, Kaifu, Norio, Takami, Hideki, Takato, Naruhisa, ...

We present the performances of direct imaging with adaptive optics, coronagraph, and imaging-polarimetry of the coronagraphic imager with adaptive optics (CIAO) for the Subaru telescope. Combining...
