  • We have developed and tested a CCD camera (100 $\times$ 100 pixels) system for observing Ha images of the solar flares with time resolution> 25 msec. The 512 $\times$ 512 pixels image of CCD camera at 2 Mpixels/sec can be recorded at the rate of more than 5 frame/sec while 100 $\times$ 100 pixels area image can be obtained 40 frames/sec. The 100 $\times$ 100 pixels image of CCD camera corresponds to 130 $\times$ 130 arc - $sec^2$ of the solar disk.

  • Boltwood 구름센서는 구름으로부터 복사되는 적외선을 감지하여 구름의 유무와 많고 적음을 판별할 수 있는 기상센서의 한 종류이다. 이 구름센서는 한국천문연구원이 진행하고 있는 국가현안과제의 일환인 우주물체 전자광학 감시체계 시스템(OWL, Optical Wide-field patroL)에 사용될 계획이다. 실제 시스템 적용에 앞서, Boltwood 구름센서를 충북대학교 천문대에 설치, 약 2주간 구름센서의 구름감지 성능 시험을 위한 관측을 진행하였다. 구름센서의 성능과 비교할 대상으로 충북대학교 천문대에 현재 설치, 운영 중인 구름량 측정을 위한 CCD 관측시스템을 이용하였다. 성능 테스트 결과, 하늘과 지상의 온도차이와 측광 자료의 별 개수간 명확한 상관관계가 도출되지 못했다. 그 원인으로는 시험 환경상의 문제와 Boltwood 구름센서의 내부 알고리즘 및 하드웨어에 대한 정보공개가 제한 때문인 것으로 판단된다. 이 논문에서는 Boltwood 구름센서와 CCD 관측시스템의 구름지수를 비교, 분석한 과정과 그 상세 결과를 제시하고자 한다.

  • A QRT(Quad-Rotor Type) hovering robot system is developed for quick detection and observation of the circumstances under calamity environment such as indoor fire spots. The UAV(Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) is equipped with four propellers driven by each electric motor, an embedded controller using a DSP, INS(Inertial Navigation System) using 3-axis rate gyros, a CCD camera with wireless communication transmitter for observation, and an ultrasonic range sensor for height control. The developed hovering robot shows stable flying performances under the adoption of RIC(Robust Internal-loop Compensator) based disturbance compensation and the vision based localization method. The UAV can also avoid obstacles using eight IR and four ultrasonic range sensors. The VTOL(Vertical Take-Off and Landing) flying object flies into indoor fire spots and sends the images captured by the CCD camera to the operator. This kind of small-sized UAV can be widely used in various calamity observation fields without danger of human beings under harmful environment.

  • We have been developing a solar observing system based on a fast CCD camera 1M30P made by the DALSA company. Here we examine and present the characteristics and performance of the camera. For this we have analyzed a number of images of a flat wall illuminated by a constant light source. As a result we found that in the default operating mode 1) the mean bias level is 49 ADU/pix, 2) the mean dark current is about 8 ADU /s/pix, 3) the readout noise is 1.3 ADU, and 4) the gain is about 42 electrons/ ADU. The CCD detector is found to have a linearity with a deviation smaller than $6\%$, and a uniform sensitivity better than $1\%$. These parameters will be used as basic inputs in the analysis of data to be taken by the camera.

  • Thermal infrared camera have poor image qualities compared to commercial CCD cameras, as in contrast, brightness, and. resolution. To compensate the poor Image quality problems associated with the thermal infrared camera, the technique of superimposing thermal infrared image into real ccd image is proposed. The mobile robot KAEROT/m2, loaded with sensor head system at the mast, is entered to monitor leakage of heavy water and thermal abnormality of the calandria reactor area in overhaul period. The sensor head system is composed of thermal infrared camera and cod camera In parallel. When thermal abnormality on observation points and areas of calandria reactor area is occurred, unusual hot image taken from thermal infrared camera is superimposed on real CCD image. In this inspection experiment, more accurate positions of thermal abnormalities on calandria reactor area can be estimated by using technique of mapping thermal infrared image into CCD image, which include characters arranged in MPOQ order.

  • Camera for QUasars in EArly uNiverse (CQUEAN) is an optical CCD camera attached to the 2.1m Otto Struve telescope at the McDonald Observatory, USA. CCD output signal contains the electrons generated by photoionization of incident light and thermal ionization. Therefore reliable photometric result can be obtained only under the stable condition of CCD thermal properties. We investigated the temperature dependency of the various characteristics of CQUEAN CCD chip, including bias level, dark level, gain, and quantum efficiency (QE), with the CQUEAN observation and calibration data obtained during 2012 May run. We discuss the environmental effects, i.e., ambient temperature, as well as CCD temperature on the stability of its characteristics.

  • The purpose of this study was to develop a period analysis algorithm for detecting new variable stars in the time-series data observed by charge coupled device (CCD). We used the data from a variable star monitoring program of the CBNUO. The R filter data of some magnetic cataclysmic variables observed for more than 20 days were chosen to achieve good statistical results. World Coordinate System (WCS) Tools was used to correct the rotation of the observed images and assign the same IDs to the stars included in the analyzed areas. The developed algorithm was applied to the data of DO Dra, TT Ari, RXSJ1803, and MU Cam. In these fields, we found 13 variable stars, five of which were new variable stars not previously reported. Our period analysis algorithm were tested in the case of observation data mixed with various fields of view because the observations were carried with 2K CCD as well as 4K CCD at the CBNUO. Our results show that variable stars can be detected using our algorithm even with observational data for which the field of view has changed. Our algorithm is useful to detect new variable stars and analyze them based on existing time-series data. The developed algorithm can play an important role as a recycling technique for used data

  • We are developing a CCD camera named CQUEAN (Camera for Quasars in Early Universe) to search for quasars at z > 7. CQUEAN has a 1024*1024 deep depletion CCD chip and will be attached to 2.1m Otto-Struve Telescope at McDonald Observatory, USA. Although commercial software for the CCD camera is provided by the vendor, we are going to develop our own software to control the other instruments as well, to carry out efficient observation. There are four major parts in our software: Instrument control part controls the camera and filter wheel to obtain imaging data. Quick look window is to display acquired imaging data for quick inspection. Telescope control part interfaces with Telescope Control System (TCS) to move the telescope and to get time or coordinate information. Finally, Observation scripting facility part carries out a series of short exposures in a batch. The whole software will be written in python on linux platform, using the instrument control software libraries provided by the vendors.

  • We present the results of visual double stars speckle observations from 2013 using a Zeiss Double Refractor 60 cm with visual focal length f = 1,078 cm, and CCD SBIG ST-402 MEA. A Bessel V filter with ${\lambda}=550nm$ was placed in front of the CCD camera to reduce the chromatic aberration of the objective lens. The objects selected for this observation were calibration candidates and program stars with separations ranging from 0.9-6 arc second, and were located in both the northern and southern hemispheres. Seeing at Bosscha Observatory is generally 1-2 arc second, imposing a limit on visual double star separation below which the system cannot be resolved by long exposure imaging (longer than ~50 ms). Speckle interferometry methods are used to resolve double stars with separations below the typical size of seeing effects. A series of images were captured in fast short-time exposures (~50 ms) using a CCD camera. The result of our experiment shows that our system can be used to measure separations of 0.9 arc second (for systems with small ${\Delta}m$) and ${\Delta}m{\approx}3.7$ (for wide systems).
