A Gunn-Peterson test with a QSO at z= 6.4
Vera C. Rubin Observatory (formerly known as LSST) (2017-): Camera integration and testing for Legacy Survey of Space and Time that will take place at Vera C. Rubin Observatory. As Camera Operation Scientist at SLAC, I have been working on testing the Camera, characterizing the focal plane, optimizing the Camera operation, and helping with Camera integration.
I also serve as Program Manager for Japan's in-kind contribution program (JAP-JPG) and Contribution Lead (JAP-JPG S2) since May 2023.
J-GEM (2014-): Japanese Collaboration for Gravitational-Wave Electro-Magnetic Follow-up (J-GEM) in order to participate in a program to perform follow-up observations of gravitational wave (GW) candidate events with the sharing of proprietary information.
HinOTORI: Hiroshima University Operated Tibet Optical Robotic Imager (2013-): I led the project to construct a new astronomical observatory at Tibet. The observatory hosted a custome made 50cm Ritchey-Chretien telescope with a three color simultaneous imager in optical. The science target was transients such as electromagnetic counterpart to Gravitational Wave.
Hyper Suprime-Cam (2007-): A project to build a very wide field camera mounted on the prime focus of Subaru telescope. A combination of its field of view, up to 1.5deg of diameter, and the large aperture of Subaru, 8.2m of diameter, enables us to explore unseen universe. Engineering first light was performed in August 2012. Especially, I'm working on developing software to control all components of HSC and to communicate with the telescope system.
Library for communication with the telescope system developed by Mitsubishi Electronics, which is related to auto guiding, primary mirror deformation, attitude control and so on.
Library for communication with SOSS (Subaru Observation Software System) developed by Subaru Observatory, which is observers interface.
Library for parallel writing of fits files
Controller (I/O circuit and software) for Shack-Hartmann filter
Shack-Hartmann filter is the wave front sensor to measure the attitude of the POpt2 unit and shape of mirror surface. It is installed as well as other scientific filters.
Super Suprime-Cam (2008): A prototype for Hyper Suprime-Cam. I did several lab experiments such as measuring emissivity of new fully depleted CCD, assembling work, performance verification test on the both of on a laboratory and on the engineering run.
