Academia Sinica Institute of Astronomy and Astrophysics (ASIAA) is one of the 31 institutes and centers in Academia Sinica aspiring to be at the forefront of astronomical research. Devoting our efforts in specific directions, we have built up core groups in theoretical and experimental astrophysics and instrumentation. Research topics carried out at ASIAA range from solar system, star formation, to extra-galactic science and cosmology. ASIAA also frequently hosts international workshops and conferences. The goal of ASIAA is to become an international research institute engaged in frontier projects, competing and collaborating with the leading research groups worldwide. ASIAA is located in the Astronomy-Mathematics Building (ASMAB) on the campus of National Taiwan University (NTU), with a field office operating in Hawaii. Currently we have a staff over 170 including research fellows, research engineers and scientists, postdoctoral fellows, visiting scholars, assistants and supporting personnel. Astronomy was one of the first few programs initiated when Academia Sinica was founded in China in 1928. Upon the recommendation of the Academician Chia-Chiao Lin, ASIAA Preparatory Office was re-established in 1993 after approval by the Academia Sinica Council. With Prof. Frank H. Shu chairing the Advisory Panel, Dr. Typhoon Lee was appointed as the first Director of the Preparatory Office in 1993, succeeded by Prof. Chi Yuan (1994-1997), Prof. Fred K.Y. Lo (1997-2002), Prof. Sun Kwok (2003-2005), and Prof. Paul T.P. Ho (2002-2003, and 2005-present). ASIAA is now officially established from June 1st 2010, with Dr. Paul T.P. Ho being the first Director. ASIAA is in close collaboration with leading institutes and observatories in Australia, Canada, Japan, US and other countries and also with university groups in Taiwan for advancing astronomical research. Array for Microwave Background Anisotropy (AMiBA) is one of the main projects through our partnership with NTU as part of the Cosmology and Particle Astrophysics (CosPA) effort. Collaboration with National Central University has been underway for a number of years through our partnership on the Taiwan American Occultation Survey (TAOS) project. Our instrumentation group is also in collaboration with National Tsing Hua University (NTHU) for the fabrication of SIS junctions, and Theoretical Institute for Advanced Research in Astrophysics (TIARA) was established in 2004 on the campus of NTHU.

Research Interest

My main interest is in imaging technology and its applications with astronomy and/or other scientific fields. In particular, my work in the past has been mainly involved in signal detection and imaging in mm and submm wavelength for astronomical purposes. Currently, I am trying to expand our expertise and application to different fields, such as plasma diagnostics, and bio-imaging. I am particularly pursuing utilizing Taiwanese semiconductor technologies, such as CMOS and SiGe, for the purpose of signal detection. High-speed data processing is also a key topic in developing a real-time radio imaging system. We are also developing skill and experience in this area of work.

Some of the key people associated with the Greenland Telescope (GLT) project posting in front of the ALMA NA prototype antenna. The GLT project will retrofit and redeploy this antenna to Greenland. Several of the major antenna components require new design, revision, or retrofitting to survive the extreme cold environment, on the ice sheet of Greenland. This project, with the antenna located in US now and moved to Greenland later, posts some great challenge in management and technology that we have never faced before.

Professional Experience

• Project manager of the Greenland Telescope (GLT) project. • Managing the Submillimeter Array, the Array for Microwave Background Anisotropy. • Administration in research and multi-cultural organization. Scientific project management in the scale of tens of millions USD. Direct leadership of a technical team of 20+ personnel. • Startup Project manager of the Atacama Large Millimeter Array for ASIAA. • Long-term international collaborations with US, Japan, Australia, and mainland China colleagues. • Designing and building millimeter and sub-mm receiver and telescopes. • Knowledge and hand-on experience: microwave and MMIC technology, cryogenics, photonics, CFRP, parallel kinematic, etc.

Research Interest

"How stars like our sun are formed?" -- This is one of the most fundamental problems in astronomy. Since stars are formed deeply inside of the interstellar molecular clouds, we need to look into the dusty cocoons that are obscuring the light from newly-born stars. Radio eyes such as “Submillimeter Array” on top of Mauna Kea help us to study what is going on inside of the cocoons. Using the radio eyes, I am studying the structure and physical condition in the close vicinity of the newly-born stars. I am especially interested in the energetic outflow phenomena that are frequently associated with the protostars in the earliest evolutionally stage.

Research Interest

How to form stars like the Sun and planets like the Earth? In order to answer this question, I have been using radio telescopes, particularly radio interferometers, to observe nearby star and planet forming regions. Radio interferometers allow us to observe fine structures of dense cores and disks where stars and planets form. In order to have better observational tools, I have also been working to build radio telescopes (Submillimeter Array and Atacama Millimeter and Submillimeter Array). My near future goal is to image protoplanetary disks at a resolution of 0.01” using ALMA.

Research Interest

The topics of my research are related to the superconductivity of materials and devices. Stable Nbtechnology has been established in our laboratory. Developing SIS mixers for SMART and other telescopes is one of my major works. SIS mixers with quantum noise limit performance for 100GHz-900GHz frequency has been developed. Developing detectors for THz frequency using nanotechnology are ongoing plan for future project. Many kinds of superconducting devices can be fabricated in our laboratory, which makes the construction of novel measurement systems or study of device properties possible. In addition, study of new superconducting materials is always an interesting work to me.

Research Interest

Molecular Astrophysics - (a) Theoretical studies of chemistry in interstellar clouds and circumstellar envelopes. (b) Observational studies in the submillimeter band of abundances of various molecules in space. Based on a database of a few thousand chemical reactions, my program generates a computer code that estimates the rates of formations and destructions of hundreds of molecular species. The computer simulations with such a chemical code are compared with observations of molecules in interstellar clouds. Observations of molecular lines are translated to the amounts of the emitting molecules through calculations of molecular excitations by collisions and radiation. Important chemical processes are identified after finding a best match between observations and chemical simulations for an astronomical object. The figure shows chemical processes in a region illuminated by a hot star. My activities also include radio observations of the molecules. I have been a frequent visitor to Mauna Kea (Hawaii) for observations for twenty years. Most observations these days are carried out in a remote or queue (automated) mode.

From blue to red, the colors represent filters centered at 100, 160 and 250 micron. Extended emission at these wavelengths is due to thermal emission from dust. The bright region in the image is the 30 Doradus star formation region, in which a lot of warm dust is present. The redder emission from the rest of the galaxy reveals the presence of vast amounts of cold dust. Result from the HERITAGE survey (Meixner et al. 2010, A&A 518, L71; Meixner et al. 2012, submitted).

Research Interest

My recent research is in the area of millimetersubmillimeter observations of such galaxies as mergers, barred spirals, and starburst galaxies for the purpose of understanding the structure, dynamics, and evolution of galaxies. The intersteller medium visible at millimetersubmillimeter wavelengths is the raw material for star formation, a tracer of galactic dynamics, and a driver of galaxy evolution through its motion within galaxies. Millimeter-submillimeter interforometry techniques are also in my research interests. My current research projects mainly use Submillimeter Array (SMA) and the Atacama Large Millimeter-submillimeter Array (ALMA).

Research Interest

My current research interests focus primarily on modeling various interactions between hot Jupiters and their parent stars. Hot Jupiters are the Jupiter-mass planets located within ~ 0.1 AU from their parent stars. As a result, these exotic giant planets are intensely illuminated, and magnetically as well as tidally interact with their parent stars. I have been studying thermal tides that drive atmospheric circulation on hot Jupiters. I am also modeling stellar and planetary atmospheres to study the possibility of planet-induced emissions and planet transits as a result of both stellar and planetary MHD winds. In addition, I have been engaging in the calculation that the star-planet interactions can destruct a young hot Jupiter in a protoplanetary disk, therefore explaining the mass distribution of hot Jupiters observed today. Furthermore, the presence of a cavity in a protoplanetary disk as revealed by dust continuum emissions has at times been postulated as a potential signopst of an embedded gas giant planet. I recently have started a research to investigate how to dynamically identify a massive planet in a protoplanetary disk.

Research Interest

Galaxy Evolution and Metal Enrichment; Far-Infrared Dust Emission from Galaxies; Physics of Dust.

The figure above demonstrates how the dust-to-gas ratio in a galaxy evolves with increasing metallicity. In the lowmetallicity regime, the dust is predominantly supplied by stars, so the dust-to-gas ratio increases in proportion to metallicity. Above certain metallicity, the dust-to-gas ratio rapidly increases because the dust growth in the interstellar medium becomes more and more important, because interstellar dust growth occurs efficiently in metalrich interstellar environments. The rapid increase is indeed consistent with the observational data of nearby galaxies.

Research Interest

I am interested mainly in the formation and evolution of sunlike stars. With radio observations and magnetohydrodynamical simulations, I aim to achieve a better understanding of their physical processes. In star formation, I study the gravitational collapse of circumstellar material around protostars (baby stars), and jet and outflow interactions with the surrounding material. In stellar evolution, I study the formation mechanism of protoplanetary and planetary nebulae in order to determine the mass-loss mechanism as sunlike stars die. Hydrogen chemistry and radiative cooling have been added into our numerical codes in order to simulate jet and outflow interactions more realistically.

Research Interest

How stars like our Sun are formed? How life comes about? These are the questions continuously being asked by every one of us but not fully solved yet. My research is related to the understanding of the formation of stars, namely the condition and early evolution during their formation, particularly for stars much more massive than our sun. I am also interested in the chemical environments which massive stars are formed from and which they consequently shape. The large amount of dense and hot molecular gas in massive star forming regions provides us an access to probe the interstellar chemistry in warm conditions, especially for those minor but interesting organic trace species. In order to facilitate and achieve these research goals, I am involved in developing software tools for millimeter and submillimeter interferometric observations as well as for molecular line radiative transfer.

Research Interest

My research interests are mainly molecular gas in and around starburst galaxies and active galactic nuclei (AGNs). For the research of starbursts, I observe molecular bubbles and outflows from starburst regions, and study the termination and triggered starburst mechanisms to understand the evolution of starburst phenomena. For the AGN research, I observe molecular gas around the AGNs, and study the relation between the molecular gas and the AGN activities. I am also involving in the Atacama Large Millimeter/ submillimeter Array (ALMA) project since the site testing phase. Our atmospheric transmission measurement results using the Fourier Transform Spectrometer (FTS) played an important role for deciding the ALMA construction site. I was a Commissioning Scientist in Chile and involved in the Commissioning and Science Verification (CSV); I mainly worked for verifying the phase stability, and also helped to realize the Cycle 0 Early Science operation.

Research Interest

My major research is to study how solar-type stars form in the clouds of molecular gas and dust in the interstellar space. I have two specific strategies to study star formation. One is observing emission from various molecules at millimeter wavelengths in star-forming clouds and studying chemistry of the clouds, because the chemical evolution of the clouds can be linked to the physical evolution into the star formation. The other strategy is single-dish and interferometric observations of molecular emission at submillimeter wavelengths, with the forefront submillimeter telescopes such as SMA, ASTE, and ALMA. Submillimeter molecular lines trace warmer molecular gas, allowing us to study the close vicinity of the forming star.

Research Interest

My main research interest is in cosmology, particularly the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation. The CMB is relic radiation emitted 400,000 years after the Big Bang that bears evidence from earlier, hotter, and denser period of the Universe. The tiny variations of one part in 100,000 in temperature shed light on properties of our Universe such as its origin, geometry and contents. Apart from theoretical studies of the CMB, currently I am also involved in ESA Planck Surveyor, scheduled to launch in early 2009. Planck Surveyor is designed to measure the CMB temperature fluctuations with unprecedented resolution (5 arcmin), sensitivity (within 2 μK) and frequency coverage (30-857 GHz) and it will also measure polarization. Detailed study of these measurements will allow us to determine not only some of the most fundamental cosmological parameters, but also the initial conditions for structure evolution, the origin of primordial fluctuations, and the nature and amount of dark matter.

The anomaly against the Gaussianity in the WMAP data was alledged by WMAP science team to be due to "insufficient handling of beam

asymmetries", which is shown already rather elliptical. Although each pixel on the map has more than hundreds of hits during the 9-year observation, the inflight window function is not averaged to be symmetric, but still elliptical in most part of the sky. In order to investigate this issue, we divide the whole map into patches. For patches containing bright extra-galactic point sources, we can directly estimate their shapes (ellipticity and orientation), from which the inflight window function manifests itself. For those without, on the other hand, we use a novel method by perturbing the Fourier phases to reveal the shape of inflight window function in the Fourier space. In the figure, we overlay the number of WMAP observations of each pixel with our estimate of the inflight window function of the WMAP Q1 Differencing Assembly map in galactic coordinate, and R=r_major / r_minor - 1, where r_major and r_minor denote the major and minor axis of the estimated elliptical window function, respectively. The inclination denotes that of the major axis. Due to the scan strategy, the north and south ecliptic pole have the most observations with over 3,500 observations (indicated with the two red spots). One can see our estimate shows that the inflight window function convolving the signal is indeed not symmetric for most of the sky. Around the ecliptic poles, however, the ratio of the axes is indeed smaller due to the averaging effect from different orientation of the beam from the scan strategy. More importantly, the window function with significant ellipticity is combing with almost parallel fashion along the ecliptic equator, which could be the systematic effect causing the detected non-Gaussianity, including the quadrupole-octupole alignment.

Research Interest

My main research interests are in the evolution of galaxy properties and the formation of large-scale structures. Using the kinematic close pairs and optical-selected merging galaxies from DEEP2 redshift survey, I study the redshift evolution of galaxy merger rates and how efficiently the galaxy interaction can trigger the star formation. I also study the linkage between the galaxy properties and their hosting environment, such as galaxy groups and clusters. The purpose is to understand how the galaxies evolve to what they are in the present day universe and how they are associated with the built-up of the large-scale structures. In addition, I also study the galaxy luminosity/stellar mass evolution up to z ~ 8 using the CFHT/WIRCAM and Spitzer data in GOODS fields, in order to understand when the most massive galaxies form.

Mean SDSS spectra of RGs of different morphologies and different SMBH masses. From left to right, the columns are of increasing ranges of SMBH mass. Within each column, the top two panels show the mean spectrum of lobe-dominated objects with "hot spots" and optical nuclear mission lines (type A, black curve) and its difference from the radio quiet (RQ) galaxies that have the same SMBH mass and galactic structures (green curve, repeated in other panels in a column). The two panels in the middle are for lobe-dominated RGs without "hot spots" (type B, red curve); the bottom two are for RGs with prominent jets close to

the nucleus (type C, blue curve). It is interesting to see in the lower left corner of the figure, for the low mass RGs of type B & C, their mean spectra are redder compared to the RQ counterparts (notice the tilt of the difference spectrum towards shorter wavelengths) and lack of Hα emission line (i.e., the “dip” at 6563Å in the difference spectra), which may be an evidence of feedback from the radio lobes that shutdown the star formation activities.

Research Interest

My present research interests are focused on star and planet formation. In the last century astronomers have determined how stars are born, but the detailed physical processes are not yet clear. Similarly, a number of exoplanets have been discovered in the last decade, but it is still challenging to understand how these planets are born in protoplanetary disks. With a few postdocs at ASIAA, I am tackling these issues through observations at IR and optical wavelengths. Such studies using a variety of telescopes (Subaru, CFHT, Spitzer) allow the study of the active regions and phenomena, which hold keys to understanding star and planet formation. For the above studies, I am also involved in a few large survey projects at Subaru 8.2-m, CFHT 3.6m and UKIRT 3.8-m, and science discussions and project reviews for SPICA.

Top: Distribution of molecular hydrogen emission in the L 1157 jet. Blue, green, and red colors show emissions at 3.6, 4.5, and 8.0μm observed with the Spitzer Space Telescope. The infrared emission originates from shock waves in the jet, the speed of which is ~10-30km s-1. Color variation in the figure results from different temperatures or densities of gas. Bottom: Our new analysis for identifying regions at high temperatures and densities (dark) and low temperatures or densities (bright). We speculate that the protostar may act as a "shot-gun", ejecting the gas bullets (dark spots in the figure) with the trajectory shown with arrows, and entraining the surrounding gas seen as bright regions. The features with asterisks are due to stars (i.e., not gas in the jet).

Research Interest

I am interested in multiwavelength observational studies of galaxy formation and evolution. Most of my recent effort focuses on understanding the submillimeter alaxy population, which emits strongly in the far-infrared and submillimeter but is hidden by dust in the optical. Such galaxies are nearly entirely missed by optical observations but they contribute to the cosmic star formation history as much as (if not exceeding) galaxies found by optical telescopes. They will be the major targets of next-generation instruments such as ALMA, James Webb Space Telescope, and the Expanded Very Large Array. I am also interested in finding the most distant galaxies and supermassive black holes in the optical and near-infrared, dense intergalactic medium that absorbs ultraviolet light from distant objects, host galaxies of distant gamma-ray bursts, and developing software for wide-field optical and near-infrared imaging observations.

Research Interest

High Energy Physics; Computer Programming; Digital Signal Processing; TAOS Project Software Engineer. During my undergraduate study, I learned about computer science and circuit design in electrical engineer department. For graduate study, I became a student of Physic department since in my mind this is the place that teaches the law of the universe. I majored in quantum field theory and studied for elementary particles. After I graduated, I joined TAOS project as a postdoc of IAA. In the first few years, I worked on scientific simulation and theoretical prediction for this project, for example, the diffraction pattern of occultation events. Also I learned programming skills for controlling robotic telescopes and implemented the automatic scheduler for TAOS system. It took lots of effort to make this system work without human intervention. Our project has started to collect data from 2005. At this stage my major responsibility is to maintain daily observation and improve the control software. There are still lots of things that we can do to make this system better.

Research Interest

I joined the AMiBA (Array for Microwave Background Anisotropy) project since 2002. In this project, my work was mainly in charge of the w-band (75-110 GHz) receiver production, from individual components verification to submodules integration test, involved many aspects such as microwave, cryogenic, electrical and mechanical parts. After AMiBA dedication in 2008, I focused on the miniaturization MMIC (Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit) module development to improve the efficiency of hardware maintain on site. After that, I expanded my research interests to all fields related to receiver. One of these fields is the superconducting device, because many radio observatories are using SIS (superconductor-insulator-superconductor) mixer as their astronomical detector and the operation frequency is much higher than AMiBA receiver. Currently, I am working on the SMA (Sub-Millimeter Array) receiver upgrade, mainly related to the ultra-wide IF band (2-18 GHz) receiver development.

Research Interest

My primary research interest is the outer Solar System. In particular, I am interested in using the blind stellar occultation survey technique to detect small (~1 km), distant objects in the Kuiper Belt and beyond. The size distribution and dynamical characteristics of these objects provide important clues to the formation history of the Solar System. The occultation technique is also uniquely suited to probe the region of 100 to 1000 AU from the Sun, where the discovery of Sedna implies that there may be many more objects that currently can not be discovered with any other astronomical technique. I am a member of the TAOS project, which has been photometrically monitoring thousands of stars with four small telescopes at Lu-Lin Observatory in central Taiwan, in order to search for such occultation events. I am also leading the development of TAOS II, a next generation occultation survey which will use an array of larger telescopes and be located at San Pedro Martir Observatory in Baja California, Mexico. The new survey will be a hundred times more powerful than the TAOS I survey, which will allow us to probe even smaller and more distant objects. We plan to start collecting data with the new survey in 2015.

AMiBA Project Scientist kylin@asiaa.sinica.edu.tw

Education and Positions

• AMiBA Project Scientist, ASIAA (2011 ~ present) • Postdoctoral Fellow, ASIAA (2006 ~ 2011) • Ph.D., Institute of Physics, National Taiwan University (2001 ~ 2006) • M.S., Institute of Physics, National Taiwan University (1999 ~ 2001) • B.S., Department of Physics, National Tsing Hua University (1995 ~ 1999)

Research Interest

I have been working in the field of observational cosmology and am especially interested in the constraints coming from structure growth and abundance of galaxy clusters. Being the largest gravitationally bound objects in the universe, galaxy clusters were thought to be dominated by gravity and considered a simpler type of object, hence its power in cosmological studies. To achieve precision cosmology, however, the environment and history of the physical processes that took place in clusters became important. Be it optical, X-ray, or radio, panchromatic observations provide clues to help us understand clusters. In this light, I have also dedicated a lot of my time bringing out the best quality of data from the AMiBA project, which studies the hot gas within galaxy clusters through the Sunyaez-Zel'dovich effect.
