Graduated from the School of Science, the University of Tokyo (PhD in Science, March 2014), Shin Toriumi has been working on the formation of sunspots and genesis of solar flares through both numerical simulations and observational data analysis. He is also interested in stellar activity phenomena. ADS Google Scholar ORCID
- Magnetic flux emergence and sunspot formation: Sunspots are created through emergence of magnetic fields from the solar interior, which cannot be investigated by direct optical observations. Toriumi performed large-scale numerical simulations and revealed the physical properties of emerging magnetic fields such as a rising speed and magentic structure. He also developed a new method of probing subsurface magnetic fields using helioseismology and estimated the emergence speed, which was in accordance with the numerical result.
- Sunspot jets and explosions: Sunspots harbor a variety of activity events like jets and explosions. He analyzed the observational data from Hinode and IRIS and numerical model of sunspots, revealing that the sunspots jets are caused by magnetic reconnection, driven by turbulent convection. → NAOJ press release
- Flare-producing sunspots: Major solar flares tend to occur in complex-shaped sunspot groups. Toriumi analyzed a number of flare-producing sunspots and revealed their statistical properties. He also succeeded in the first-ever modling of spontaneous generation of flaring sunspots via realistic simulation of magnetic flux emergence. → HMI Nuggets Web release
- Solar-Stellar connections: To see what starspots would look like, Toriumi surveyed sun-as-a-star light curves of sunspot transit events for a variety of wavelengths and explored the ways to characterize the magnetic and thermal circumstances of starspots.→ NASA press release He also revealed that ultra-hot atmospheres of the Sun and Sun-like stars are produced by the common heating mechanisms.→ American Univ press release
- SOLAR-C: With the target launch in FY2028, Japan's next-generation solar-observing satellite SOLAR-C is now in Phase B. Toriumi is leading the development of science operation, data handling, ground segments, etc.
- PR: He is involved in PR activities for the ISAS/JAXA, including the host for the live-streaming of the lunar landing of the Smart Lander for Investigating Moon (SLIM).→ YouTube Live

2010 212-212, 2010Solar active regions including sunspots are thought to be the consequence of the emergence of a magnetic flux tube from the bottom of the convection zone (at -200,000km depth). Here we perform the two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations to show the emergence of the flux tube from a -20,000km depth to the atmosphere through the solar surface. The simulations are done for the axial and the cross-sectional evolutions of the flux tube. As a result, both fluxes show the deceleration halfway to the surface and extend laterally near the surface. From the parameter surveys, we obtain the conditions for actual active regions: the field strength 10^4G, the total magnetic flux 10^<21>-10^<22>Mx, and the twist 5.0×10^<-4>km^<-1> at -20,000km depth.

2009 104-104, 2009Emerging magnetic flux tubes in the solar convection zone are thought to be responsible for formation of active regions. We performed two-dimensional MHD simulations of the flux emergence from the solar interior to the atmosphere. The flux tube is initially placed deep down at the convection zone (-20,000km) and perturbed to generate Parker instability. The tube rises through the convection zone, but stops below the surface bacause of the strong pressure gradient. After being unstable to the Parker instability, the tube emerges to the atmosphere again. We show this 'two-step emergence' model and have some discussions on the parameter survey.
