We have developed solar observational system in the department of Astronomy & Space Sciences of KyungHee University, in order to monitor solar activities and construct solar database for space weather forecasting at maximum of 23rd solar cycle, as well as an solar education and exercise for undergraduate students. Our solar observational system consists of the full disk monitoring system and the regional observation system for H a fine structure. Full disk monitoring system is made of an energy rejection filter, 16cm refractor, video CCD camera and monitor. Monitored data are recorded to VHS video tape and analog output of video CCD can be captured as digital images by the computer with video graphic card. Another system for regional observation of the sun is made of energy rejection filter, 21cm Schmidt-Cassegrain reflector, H a filter with 1.6A pass band width and $375\times242$ CCD camera. We can observe H a fine structure in active regions of solar disk and solar limb, by using this system. We have carried out intense solar observations for a test of our system. It is found that Quality of our H a image is as good as that of solar images provided by Space Environmental Center. In this paper, we introduce the basic characteristics of the KyungHee Solar Observation System and result of our solar observations. We hope that our data should be used for space weather forecasting with domestic data of RRL(Radio Research Laboratory) and SOFT(SOlar Flare Telescope).

The CCD photometric observations of the W UMa type contact binary GX Aur were performed for 33 nights from 2004 to 2008 using a 2K CCD camera and Johnson BVRI filter system attached to the 61cm reflector at Sobaeksan Optical Astronomy Observatory (SOAO). From our observations, the first BVRI light curves of GX Aur were completed and eight new times of minima (primary: 4, secondary: 4) were obtained. All the times of minima including our timings were collected and analyzed to see the dynamical behavior of GX Aur system. Intensive analysis of our BVRI lightcurves with the recent Wilson-Devinney binary model shows that GX Aur is an over-contact binary whose component stars have equal mass and time-variable spots.

VRI bands CCD photometric observations of the BL Lac object OJ 287 have been carried out during the period from October, 1994 to May, 1996. OJ 287 underwent two major outbursts during our observations. The first peak (V14.0 mag.) occurred in the first half of November, 1994 and faded out to 16.5 mag within 150 days. The second peak (14.0 mag.) was observed in late December, 1995. The latter peak continued at nearly the same brightness until May, 1996. Such a long lasting outburst has never been reported for OJ 287. Color indices (V - R and V-I) remained nearly constant during the outbursts.

We developed an Automatized Differential Photometry System (ADPS) to achieve high time resolution and high efficiency in the photometric observations of short period variable stars. This ADPS has been introduced to the CCD camera system attached to the 6lcm Reflector at Sobaeksan Astronomy Observatory. Several new algorithms were devised for the controlling the telescope. the star recognition in a CCD frame and the aperture photometry, etc..As the result, the differential photometric observation was fully automatized without any manual control, and much faster data acquisition could be achieved over the conventional photoelectric differential photometry.

식쌍성 극심시각의 체계적인 측광관측을 위하여 충북대학교 교내에 소형 반자동 망원경 관측시스템을 구축하였다. 이 시스템은 Paramount GT-1100s 독일식 마운트와 Celestron 14 광학계, 그리고 SBIG ST-8 CCD 카메라로 구성되었다. 한편, 관측시스템의 제어는 OBSTOOL이라는 소프트웨어에 의하여 이루어지는데, 이는 상용소프트웨어인 The Sky와 MaximDL에서 지원하는 COM(Component Object Model)을 이용하여 망원경과 CCD 카메라를 제어하도록 개발하였다. 이 시스템은 광전관측방법과 유사하게 망원경을 변광성, 비교성, 검토성 등으로 이동시키며 관측을 수행한다. 또한, 효율적인 자료처리를 위하여 작성한 Perl 스크립트로 관측 자료를 날짜별, 관측시야별, 필터별로 분류하고, IRAF소프트웨어를 이용하여 관측 영상의 전처리작업 등을 수행하도록 하였다. 또한, 이 시스템으로 관측한 식쌍성들의 식부근 광도곡선을 제시한다.

1998년 12월부터 1999년 5월까지 총 10일간 W UMa형 접촉쌍성 AH Cnc를 소백산천문대의 61cm 망원경과 PM512 CCD 카메라, 그리고 BVI 필터를 사용하여 CCD 측광을 수행하였다. 새롭게 얻은 BVI 광도곡선을 Wilson-Devinney 쌍성모델의 Mode 3(접촉형)으로 분석해서 측광해를 구하고 Roche 모형을 얻었다. 지금까지 발표된 모든 극심시각들과 이번 관측자료를 사용하여 얻은 (O-C)도를 분석해서 영년주기 증가율와 질량이동률을 계산하였다.

The Struve astrometric satellite which is being developed at Pulkovo Observatory in cooperation with Krasno-yarsk Institute of Applied Mechanics, S.I. Vavilov's State Optical Institute and some others space instrumentation institutes, will produce observations of a second epoch for the Hipparcos stars. The project is devoted to maintaining the Hipparcos coordinate system as well as extending it to a density of $\approx$ 100 stars per square degree. Possibilities of submilliarcsecond accuracy of observations with single aperture on-board telescopes are discussed. Requirements to the optical scheme and to the dynamic properties of the spacecraft are formulated. CCD and microchannel plates are discussed as a focal assembly detectors.

The accuracy of CCD observations obtained at the Korean 1.8m telescope has been studied. Seventeen comparison stars in the vicinity of the cataclysmic variable BG CMi have been measured. The 'artificial' star has been used instead of the 'control' star, what made possible to increase accuracy estimates by a factor of 1.3-2.1 times for 'good' and 'cloudy' nights, respectively. The algorithm of iterative determination of accuracy and weights of few comparison stars contributing to the artificial star, has been presented. The accuracy estimates for 13-mag stars are around $0.^m002$ mag for exposure times of 30 sec.

소백산 천문대의 61cm 망원경에 부착된 bvri CCD 측광 시스템으로 근접쌍성 V523 Cas를 2003년 1월에 4일 밤을 관측하여 792점의 CCD 영상을 얻었다. 이 영상 내에 있는 17개의 BVRI 표준성을 이용하여 소백산 천문대의 bvri 측광계와 Johnson-Cousins의 BVRI 측광계 사이의 변환 관계를 V=v-0.0689(B-V)+0.0063, B-V=1.3197(b-v)-0.1733, V-R=0.9210(v-r)-0.1309, R-I=0.8892(r-i)-0.1055와 같이 구하였다. 이 식을 이용하여 근접쌍성 V523 Cas 근처에 있는 57개 별들의 표준 V등급과 색지수(B-V, V-R, R-I)를 결정하였다.
