Recommended papers

• Totani T.: Cosmological Gamma-Ray Bursts and Evolution of Galaxies, The Astrophysical Journal, 486, L71 (1997) NASA ADS

  • This paper has shown, for the first time, that the star formation history of the universe can be probed by using distant, cosmological gamma-ray bursts

• Totani T., Sato K., Dalhed H. E., Wilson J. R.: Future Detection of Supernova Neutrino Burst and Explosion Mechanism, The Astrophysical Journal, 496, 216 (1998) NASA ADS

  • A comprehensive discussion about prospects of detecting thousands of supernova neutrinos from a supernova in our Galaxy by Super-Kamiokande and its implications

  • The first constraint obtained by using a gamma-ray burst on the history of cosmic reionization in the dark age of the universe

• Totani T., Morokuma T., Oda T., Doi M., Yasuda N.: Delay Time Distribution Measurement of Type Ia Supernovae by the Subaru/XMM-Newton Deep Survey and Implications for the Progenitor, Publications of the Astronomical Society of Japan, 60, 1327 (2008) NASA ADS

  • The discovery paper of the t^-1 law of the delay time distribution (from star formation to explosion) of type Ia supernovae, which is now the standard in the research field

• Totani T.: Cosmological Fast Radio Bursts from Binary Neutron Star Mergers, Publications of the Astronomical Society of Japan, 65, L12 (2013) NASA ADS

  • One of the earliest theoretical hypothesis about the origin of fast radio bursts. This may be tested by joint radio and gravitational wave observations in future
