Geodesy in Japan: legends and highlights
Earth, Planets and Space, 2020 Here, I review modern history of geodesy and geodynamics in Japan, highlighting a few episodes during the last two centuries. The review starts with the first measurement of the meridional arc length in Japan by Tadataka Ino (1745–1818) early in the ...

Evolution of a Water-rich Atmosphere Formed by a Giant Impact on an Earth-sized Planet
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The atmosphere of a terrestrial planet that is replenished with secondary gases should have accumulated hydrogen-rich gas from its protoplanetary disk.

Water vapour in the atmosphere of the habitable-zone eight-Earth-mass planet K2-18 b [PDF]
Nature Astronomy, 2019 In the past decade, observations from space and the ground have found water to be the most abundant molecular species, after hydrogen, in the atmospheres of hot, gaseous extrasolar planets1–5. Being the main molecular carrier of oxygen, water is a tracer

Discovery of a bright microlensing event with planetary features towards the Taurus region: a super-Earth planet [PDF]
, 2018 The transient event labeled as TCP J05074264+2447555 recently discovered towards the Taurus region was quickly recognized to be an ongoing microlensing event on a source located at distance of only $700-800$ pc from Earth. Here, we show that observations

Earth shaped by primordial H_2 atmospheres [PDF]
Nature, 2023 Thermodynamic modelling shows that Earth’s water, core density and overall oxidation state can be explained by the formation of Earth from planetary embryos with hydrogen-rich primary atmospheres and underlying magma oceans.
