Hideaki Takemura, Yuta Yamazaki, and Misako Tatsuuma received the prizes at 50th Summer School on Astronomy and Astrophysics that was held from August 24 to August 27, through online. Mr Takemura is a third-year student in the master course at SOKENDAI. He won the first prize of the Oral Award in his session. Mr Yamazaki is a first-year student in the doctor course at the University of Tokyo. He won the second prize of the Oral Award in his session. Ms Tatsuuma a second-year student in the doctoral course at the University of Tokyo. She won the third prize of the Oral Award in her session.
Summer School on Astronomy and Astrophysics takes place annually and many young Japanese astronomers and astrophysicists present their research. In this year, over 300 scientists were gathering and discussed many topics.
Hideaki Takemura presented his study about ‘Revealing the Star Formation Scenario with CMFs in Orion A’ in the Stars and Planets Formation Session.
Yuta Yamazaki presented his study about ‘Stochastic GCE modelings to study the Dispersion of Elemental Abundance Distributions’ in the Galaxy Session.
Misako Tatsuuma presented her study about ‘Rotational Disruption of Porous Dust Aggregates due to Gas Flow in Protoplanetary Disks’ in the Star & Planet Formation Session.

Yudong Luo (3rd from left), a member of the division of science, D1-student from the University of Tokyo, won the ANPhA Young Scientist Award in the poster session of the 15th International Symposium on Origin of Matter and Evolution of Galaxies held in Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics, Kyoto University from July 2–5.
The International Symposium on Origin of Matter and Evolution of Galaxies (OMEG) is a forum for researchers from various fields such as nuclear physics, particle physics, astronomy and astrophysics to discuss the origin of matter and evolution of the Universe.
Yudong Luo presented his recent works in the symposium’s poster session, the title was ‘Primordial Magnetic field and Its Impact on BBN’.

・Oral Awards at 49th Summer School on Astronomy and Astrophysics
Misako Tatsuuma, a first-year student in the doctoral course at the University of Tokyo, got the Outstanding Student Presentation Award at Space and Planetary Sciences Section of the Japan Geoscience Union (JpGU) Meeting 2019, which was held at Makuhari Messe International Conference Hall in Chiba from May 26 to May 30, 2019.
JpGU is a meeting that covers a wide range of fields, including Space and Planetary Sciences, Atmospheric and Hydrospheric Sciences, Human Geosciences, Solid Earth Sciences, and Biogeosciences. Every year, many oral presentations and poster presentations are held. She entered the Outstanding Student Presentation Award in Planetary Sciences Session of Space and Planetary Sciences Section and made an oral presentation titled “Tensile Strength of Porous Dust Aggregates Measured with Dust N-body Simulations”. As a result, she got the Outstanding Student Presentation Award after screening. In Space and Planetary Sciences Section, 11 people including her got the awards.
Kilometer-sized planetesimals are thought to be building blocks of planets. However, many problems still remain in the formation process of planetesimals. In order to solve them, exploration of comets and asteroids, which are leftover planetesimals in our solar system, is being actively conducted, e.g., Rosetta and Hayabusa 2. As a result, even the properties of the materials, such as tensile strength, have become clear. Therefore, in order to investigate the formation process of planetesimals from the material strength, she and her collaborators measured the tensile strength of porous dust aggregates, which form planetesimals, using numerical simulation.
She commented on the award, “It’s a great honor. I am very pleased that my efforts have been awarded since I have worked hard to explain the significance of our research in the limited 15 minutes of presentation time. I would like to continue our investigation.”
