대마젤란 은하에 속한 식쌍성의 시선속도 곡선을 완성하기 위하여 2009년 11월 칠레에 위치한 Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory (CTIO)의 1.5m 망원경과 R-C Spectrograph를 사용하여 중 분산 분광관측을 수행하였다. 분광관측은 380nm - 540nm 영역에서 $H_8,\;H_{\varepsilon},\;H_{\delta},\;H_{\Gamma},\;H_{\beta}$ 등의 흡수선을 관측하였다. 중분산으로 관측된 식쌍성의 각 구성원별에서 나오는 흡수선들은 구별되지 않으므로 이를 구별하기 위하여 구성원들의 Flux 비와 함께 gauss curves fitting 방법으로 각 흡수선들을 2개의 성분으로 분해하여 시선속도를 측정하고, 시선속도곡선을 완성하였다. 완성된 이중 시선속도 곡선은 Wilson & Devinney 차등 보정법으로 분석하여, 궤도 장반경, 질량비, 계의 시선속도 등을 구하였다. 또한 각 식쌍성들의 광도곡선을 분석하여 측광학적인 해를 구하고, 최종적으로 분광 및 측광관측의 해를 혼합하여 대마젤란은하 식쌍성들의 절대량을 구하였다. 이후 이를 바탕으로 거리를 구하여 기존에 발표된 마젤란은하의 거리와 비교하였다.

On-board spectrophotometer has been widely used as a non-contact and non-destructive measurement system in many fields. In this study, we evaluated the effect with respect to the light of on-board spectrophotometer based on a comparison with the standard spectrophotometer and color information coordinate system. Red, yellow, green and blue color paper, which were the standard reflective color paper and Munsell color paper, were used for experiments. In order to compare between a standard spectrophotometer system and an on-board spectrophotometer system, each color paper was measured 20 times. We concluded that it is possible to develop a system regardless the effect of light if the light was supplied consistently and a calibration was performed exactly while we applied an on-board spectrophotometer to non-contact and non-destructive measurement system.

This work demonstrates the indoor SI-traceable calibration of a transmissometer with a 75-m baseline for the measurement of visibility in MOR (Meteorological Optical Range). The calibration is performed using a set of neutral density (ND) filters (OD 0.1-2.5) and a set of high-transmission quartz glass plates (a bare quartz glass plate and antireflective-coated quartz glass plates), the collection consisting of 20 artifacts in total. The luminous transmittance values of the reference artifacts had been calibrated traceable to the KRISS spectral transmittance scale, which ranges from 0.2 % to 99.5 %. The transmissometer to be calibrated typically consists of a loosely collimated light source based on a white LED (CCT ~5000 K) and a luminous intensity detector with a CIE 1924 V(${\lambda}$) spectral response. As a result of calibration, we obtained the MOR error and its uncertainty for the transmissometer in 20 m - 40 km of MOR. Based on the results, we investigated the applicability of the calibration method and the conformity of the transmissometer to the ICAO's (International Civil Aviation Organization) accuracy requirement for meteorological visibility measurement. We expect that this work will establish the standard procedure for the SI-traceable calibration of a transmissometer.

To evaluate the degree of contamination caused by oil spill accident in the sea, the in-situ sensors which are based on the scientific method are needed in the real site. The sensors which are based on the fluorescence detection theory can provide the useful data, such as the concentration of oil. However these kinds of sensors commonly are composed of the ultraviolet (UV) light source such as UV mercury lamp, the multiple excitation/emission filters and the optical sensor which is mainly photomultiplier tube (PMT) type. Therefore, the size of the total sensing platform is large not suitable to be handled in the oil spill field and also the total price of it is extremely expensive. To overcome these drawbacks, we designed the fluorimeter for the oil spill detection which has compact size and cost effectiveness. Before the detail design process, we conducted the experiments to measure the excitation and emission spectrum of oils using five different kinds of crude oils and three different kinds of processed oils. And the fluorescence spectrometer were used to analyze the excitation and emission spectrum of oil samples. We have compared the spectrum results and drawn the each common spectrum regions of excitation and emission. In the experiments, we can see that the average gap between maximum excitation and emission peak wavelengths is near 50 nm for the every case. In the experiment which were fixed by the excitation wavelength of 365 nm and 405 nm, we can find out that the intensity of emission was weaker than that of 280 nm and 325 nm. So, if the light sources having the wavelength of 365 nm or 405 nm are used in the design process of fluorimeter, the optical sensor needs to have the sensitivity which can cover the weak light intensity. Through the results which were derived by the experiment, we can define the important factors which can be useful to select the effective wavelengths of light source, photo detector and filters.

Di-(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) may be released from plasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) articles. In the cases of various methods for the quantitative analysis of migrating DEHP, there are much differences in migrating quantity according to the experimental methods. It is therefore important to make the comparison and analysis between these two results. A study of DEHP migration from blood and infusion bags has been carried out in different methods to evaluate the amount of DEHP migration using gas chromatograph and UV-vis spectrophotometry. Five PVC bags were cut into plane sheets in size of $40{\times}10{\times}0.4mm$, then were immersed in extraction solvent for an hour to release DEHP. It was determined by a gas chromatograph that $23.2{\sim}70.9{\mu}g/mL$ of DEHP was extracted. While extraction solvent was injected into PVC bags which were then placed for an hour to leach DEHP out. It was checked by a UV-vis spectrophotometer that the concentration of DEHP in extraction solvent was $24.8{\sim}41.3{\mu}g/mL$. Two results show different values according to the extraction conditions and experimental methods and the gas chromatographic results were converted into UV-vis spectroscopic results on condition that DEHP would be extracted equally per unit time and unit contact area. It was concluded that DEHP migrating amounts are approximately equal in two analytical methods.

Thin films of hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si : H) of different compositions were deposited on Si(100) wafer and glass by RF plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD). In the present work, we have investigated the effect of the If. power on the properties, such as optical band gap, transmittance and crystallinity, of crystalline silicon thin films. Raman data show that the material consists of an amorphous and crystalline phase for the co-presence of two peaks centered at 480 and 520cm$^{-1}$. X-ray spectra confirmed of crystallites with (111) orientation at 300w The transmittance of thin films was measured by UV-VIS spectrophotometer. In addition, Si-H chemical bondings were studied by Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy.

DO Cas is a short period (P=0.68day) eclipsing binary star and is classified as a near-contact binary by Shaw(1990). There is no published radial velocity curve for this short period binary after Mannino(1958). Hill(1991) suspected that Mannino's radial velocity curve had some serious mistake. So, we scanned the original plates used by Mannino with PDS and the spectra were employed to IRAF packages to estimate the radial velocities. The radial velocity curve and the BVR light curves made by us in 1998 were analyzed simultaneously with Wilson-Devinney code. We found that DO Cas is a contact or near-contact binary which the primary component fills its Roche lobe and we also estimated the absolute dimensions of each components of this system.

A simple formula of the envelope method, which uses two envelopes fitted to the transmittance at quarter- and half-wave optical thicknesses, is derived to determine the optical constants (refractive index and extinction coefficient) and the thickness of weakly absorbing thin films. We applied the envelope method to ZnS and SiOx films deposited in a vacuum chamber and determined the optical constants at different deposition conditions. For SiOx films, the decrease in refractive index is consistent with the increase in stoichiometry as the backfilled oxygen pressure increases.

Black hole binary candidates are known to be composed of a black hole with 10 $M_{\odot}$ and a K or M type companion. Because the companion is believed to fill the Roche lobe that is very aspherical, the light curves of black hole binaries are characterized by an ellipsoidal variation. It has been known that the ellipsoidal light curves exhibit asymmetric maximum brightness at the orbital phases 0.25 and 0.75, which has been attributed to star spots or the hot impact points of the accretion flow on to the accretion disk around the black hole. In this paper, it is pointed out that the special relativistic beaming effect contributes to the asymmetry of several percent often observed in the light curves. The typical orbital velocity 400 km $s^{-1}$ observed in black hole binaries may induce the temperature difference $\DeltaT/T$ ~ 1/400 of the late type companion star in the observer`s rest frame, because of the special relativistic Doppler beaming effect. This difference in temperature can result in several per cent of brightness sensitively dependent on the wavelength band, which is comparable to what has been observed in most black hole binary candidates. Considering the significant contribution of the special relativistic Doppler beaming effect, we conclude that the estimation of the sizes and temperatures of the star spots or the hot impact point needs serious revision.

In this study, three tree species (Populus euramericana, Kalopanax pictus and Quercus serrata) exhibiting different levels of shade tolerance were employed to investigate photosynthetic responses to the lower light condition on forest floors. Chlorophyll contents, spectral properties and photosynthetic characteristics were examined by using the tree species grown under high light intensity (PPFD $920{\mu}mol\;m^{-2}s^{-1}$) or low light intensity (PPFD $80{\mu}mol\;m^{-2}s^{-1}$). Plants grown under the low light intensity tended to have reduced leaf area, chlorophyll content per unit leaf area, light absorption and respiration in the shade intolerant tree species of P. euramericana. However, the shade tolerant species K. pictus and Q. serrata showed increased leaf area, chlorophyll content and net apparent quantum yield. Therefore, light absorption and light utilization efficiency were improved under the low light intensity. Also shade tolerant species maintained activities of photosystems and $CO_2$ fixation systems with little changes in low light intensity condition.
