Ph.D. thesis
The Evolutionary Description of Molecular Cloud Mass Functions and Star Formation in the Multiphase Interstellar Medium
(Japanese title: 多相星間媒質中における分子雲質量関数の発展と星形成の理論的考察)
I formulate the time evolution equation for giant molecular cloud
mass functions, including cloud formation, mass growth, dispersal, resurrection,
and collision processes.
Master thesis
Galaxy - Dark Matter Connection from Observational Viewpoints
(Japanese title: 銀河-暗黒物質関係の観測的検証)
I made predictions on the possibility for future weak lensing surveys to conduct galaxy-galaxy lensing measurements
and directly probe the innermost galaxy/halo total mass profiles
(e.g. transverse separation from lens galaxies ~20 kpc ).
Bachelor thesis
An Equation of State in Stars (Polytropic model and its calculation)
I solved equation of state under Polytropic models.
