한국천문연구원은 GMT (Giant Magellan Telescope)의 부경 중의 하나인 FSM (Fast Steering Mirror)의 시험모델을 개발 중이다. 구경 1.06m의 비축 비구면 반사경을 시험제작하기 위하여 경량화 설계를 하였고 실제 가공 준비를 하고 있다. 반사경의 tip-tilt 제어를 위해서는 mathmatical model을 작성하고 실제 test-bed를 제작하였다. 이 논문에서는 FSM 시험모델의 개발 현황에 대해 논한다.

The Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT) will feature two interchangeable Gregorian secondary mirrors, an adaptive secondary mirror (ASM) and a fast-steering secondary mirror (FSM). The FSM has an effective diameter of 3.2 m and built as seven 1.1 m diameter circular segments, which are conjugated 1:1 to the seven 8.4m segments of the primary. Each FSM segment contains a tip-tilt capability for fine co-alignment of the telescope subapertures and fast guiding to attenuate telescope wind shake and mount control jitter. This tip-tilt capability thus enhances performance of the telescope in the seeing limited observation mode. As the first stage of the FSM development, KASI conducted a Phase 0 study to develop a program plan detailing the design and manufacturing process for the seven FSM segments. The GMTO-KASI team matured this plan via an internal review in May 2016 and the revised plan was further assessed by an external review in June 2016. In this poster, we present the technical aspects of the FSM development plan.

We present a python-based data reduction pipeline for the Immersion GRating INfrared Spectrograph (IGRINS). IGRINS covers the complete H- and K-bands in a single exposure with a spectral resolving power of greater than 40,000. IGRINS is designed to be compatible with telescopes of diameters ranging from 2.7-m (the Harlan J. Smith telescope at McDonald Observatory) to 8-10m. Commissioning and initial operation will be on the 2.7-m telescope from late 2013. The pipeline package is a part of the IGRINS software and designed to be compatible with other package that maneuvers the spectrograph during the observation. This package provides high-quality spectra with minimal human intervention and the processes of order extraction, distortion correction, and wavelength calibration can be automatically carried out using the predefined functions (e.g. echellogram mapping and 2D transform). Since the IGRINS is a prototype of the Giant Magellan Telescope Near-Infrared Spectrometer (GMTNIRS), this pipeline will be extended to the GMTNIRS software.

The GMT-Consortium Large Earth Finder (G-CLEF) is the very first light instrument of the Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT) and an optical-band echelle spectrograph. The Flexure Control Camera (FCC) is one of the major contributions of KASI's for the spectrograph project. FCC system includes the Fiber Mirror monitoring and the on- and off-slit mode auto-guidance algorithm. In this study, we present the modified design of the FCC optics and opto-mechanics after the G-CLEF Preliminary Design Review (PDR) held in Cambridge in April 2015.

다가오는 거대마젤란망원경 (GMT) 시대를 이끌어갈 신진 연구자들의 연구역량 증진을 위해, 2013년 8월 27일부터 30일까지 3박4일에 걸쳐 강원도 홍천 가람밸리 리조트에서 제3회 거대마젤란망원경 여름학교를 개최한다. 총 47명의 대학원생과 박사후연구원들이 참여하는 이번 여름학교에서는, GMT 개관, 1세대 관측기기 가운데 최초로 활용될 계획인 GMACS와 G-CLEF의 소개 및 그것들을 활용한 대표적인 과학연구 분야에 대한 강의가 이루어진다. 또한 계절학교 참가자들이 'GMACS 또는 G-CLEF를 활용한 관측연구 제안'이라는 주제로 직접 토론과 발표에 참가하는 조별 활동이 주된 프로그램으로 추가된다. 이러한 여름학교 프로그램은 신진 연구자들이 GMT를 활용한 다양한 연구 가능성을 경험하고 서로 능동적으로 교류할 수 있는 계기가 될 것으로 기대된다. 2013년도부터 새로운 방식으로 시도되는 제3회 거대마젤란망원경 계절학교 결과를 정리함으로써 앞으로 나아갈 계절학교의 방향을 점검해본다.

Fast-steering Secondary Mirror prototype (FSMP) of the Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT) has been developed by the consortium consisting of institutes in Korea and the US. In 2014 we are finalizing the FSMP project as combining two sub-systems, the mirror fabricated by Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science (KRISS) and the mirror cell with tip-tilt controlling system developed by Institute for Advanced Engineering (IAE), in the KRISS facility. In the assembly process we will identify potential difficulties or problems for the process, such that this process can be reflected to the further development of the FSM for GMT. In the presentation, we present how the assembly process can be carried out in safety.

The GMT-Consortium Large Earth Finder (G-CLEF) is the very first light instrument of the Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT) to be commissioned in 2022. The instrument is a fiber feed, optical band echelle spectrograph that is capable of extremely precise radial velocity measurement. Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute (KASI) has been involved in the development of the G-CLEF as one member of the international consortium consisted of five astronomical institutes including Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO), Observatories of the Carnegie Institution of Washington (OCIW). It is scheduled to have KASI side Critical Design Review in December 2017. In this presentation we will report the recent progress on the critical design activities for the G-CLEF Flexure Control Camera (FCC).

Sanduleak's star is a suspected symbiotic binary located in the Large Magellanic Cloud. It is known that it has a giant jet with physical size ~ 14pc. Its spectrum shows two strong emission bands at $6825{\AA}$ and $7082{\AA}$, which are originated from Raman-scattering of O VI by neutral hydrogen atoms. We present the high-resolution spectrum of Sanudleak's star obtained with MIKE at the Magellan-Caly telescope to investigate the O VI emission region based on the profiles of the two Raman features. In this spectrum, it is noted that the Raman $6825{\AA}$ feature exhibits a single broad peak profile, which is in high contrast with a clear triple peak profile of the Raman $7082{\AA}$ feature. In our analysis we suggest that the O VI emission region consist of three main emission parts: an accretion disk, a bipolar outflow and an optically thick, compact component surrounding the white dwarf. By performing Monte Carlo simulation we constrain the representative column density of the H I scattering region N_HI ~1${\times}$10^23 cm^-2, which is in accordance with the observed flux ratio in the two Raman features F(6825)/F(7082) ~ 4.5.
