| Research Abstract |
For unveiling the nature of the hypothetical existence of the “Dark Energy”, the most important enigma of the last decade in Astronomy, it was proposed, firstly, to develop and manufacture an extremely wide field camera (named HSC) to be mounted on Subaru Telescope’s prime focus. This has been successfully accomplished with the camera’s first light in August 2012. Secondly, it was projected to develop optimal observation plan, to improve analysis methods of the weak lens effect to extract pseudo-three dimensional mass distribution, to conduct computer simulation works to link the observational data with theoretical models. Many original theoretical works have been published on the Dark Matter distribution and on the acceleration of the expansion rate of the Universe, among others.
