The Transit Signal of KOI-1755 Originates from a Background Eclipsing Binary Star—Extracting the Light Curve of a Faint Background Star from Kepler Target Pixel File Data
KOI-1755 (KIC 5302006) was initially identified by the Kepler mission as a candidate exoplanet host but subsequently classified as a false positive due to suspected background contamination. The target star itself exhibits intrinsic stellar…

Near-infrared Polarimetry of the Massive Young Star W33A in the Godzilla Nebula: Detection of Linear and Circular Polarization
We have performed the first near-infrared linear and circular imaging polarimetry of the massive W33A star-forming region. Large linear polarization is detected in the very red and extended (∼1 pc projected length) infrared nebulae with a…
