【Course Objectives】

This course aims to develop knowledge about the phenomena observed in the recent lunar and planetary exploration program; the observation results of the astronomical objects and the latest results from the planetary and satellite landing surveys. Students also come to understand the nature of the exoplanets.

【Course Contents】

In Japan's lunar and planetary exploration program, the moon orbiting satellite Kaguya and the asteroid explorer have observed an astronomical object with no atmosphere. Subsequently, the asteroid explorer Hayabusa2 and Mervury Explorer Mio was launched. The Mars satellite exploration plan MMX is in preparation. The moon, asteroids and Mercury are all objects with almost no atmosphere. In this course, we will study the latest research results on these objects and the scientific purpose of future exploration plans. On the moon, Mercury surface is near vacuum but there is a dilute metallic atmosphere. We will discuss the origin of the dilute atmosphere using observations from ground-based telescopes and observations from spacecraft. As for asteroids, I will focus on Ryugu on which Hayabusa 2 performed observations and other similar objects, and introduce scientific results obtained by sample return.
In addition, many observations of exoplanets by telescopes have been made, and planets expected to be similar to the Earth have been discovered.
