Munetake MOMOSE
Ibaraki University（Radio Astronomy）
(Record between 2000.01-2025.12)
Welcome
I joined the Faculty of Science at Ibaraki University on January 1, 2000, left Ibaraki University and transferred to the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan on January 1, 2026. Our laboratory investigated how stars and planetary systems form within the universe by observing radio waves arriving from space. We also developed the observational instruments necessary to achieve this. While updates to this page ceased in December 2025, it will remain publicly accessible for some time as a record of our past work.
