The lab investigates through observation when and how galaxies were born and how they grew.
AboutAbout the lab
We live out our whole lives in a galaxy. But what about the galaxy itself?
The Shimasaku Lab studies when and how galaxies were born and how they evolved into their present form.
Most of the stars in the universe belong to some galaxy, and the Sun is also located within a spiral galaxy, the Milky Way.
The lab mainly uses visible-light and near-infrared observational data to work on galaxy formation and evolution and related questions.
On its website, the lab invites students who are considering a lab to a meeting, where it wants to explain its research themes and its approach to research.
Key terms
- Near-infrared
- Light with a slightly longer wavelength than the red light visible to the eye. Light from distant galaxies is shifted to this wavelength by the expansion of the universe before it reaches us.
- Supermassive black hole
- A black hole at the center of a galaxy, with a mass from a million to over a billion times that of the Sun.
- X-ray stacking
- A technique that overlays X-ray images of many faint objects that cannot be detected individually, so that their combined signal emerges.

The lab investigates the formation and evolution of galaxies based on observation. It is also a question that touches us directly: only by understanding how galaxies have evolved can we understand why we are here today.

Ratings and reviews reflect the experiences of individual current or former students, not the lab's official views. Whether a lab has reviews, or how many, says nothing about the lab itself.
Students who take part in an interview may receive a thank-you gift worth ¥1,000, regardless of what they say.
