To measure the mass distribution of galaxy systems weak-lensing analysis has been widely used because it directly measures the total mass of a system regardless of its baryon content and dynamical state. However, the weak-lensing only provides a map of projected surface mass density. On the other hand, galaxy redshift surveys provide a map of the three-dimensional galaxy distribution. It thus can resolve the structures along the line of sight projected in the weak-lensing map. Therefore, the comparison of structures identified in the weak-lensing maps and in the redshift surveys is an important test of the issues limiting applications of weak-lensing to the identification of galaxy clusters. Geller et al. (2010) and Kurtz et al. (2012) compared massive clusters identified in a dense redshift survey with significant weak-lensing map convergence peaks. Both assessments of the efficiency of weak-lensing map for cluster identification did not draw a general conclusion, because the sample is so small. Thus, we additionally perform deep imaging observations of fields in a dense galaxy redshift survey that contain galaxy clusters at z~0.2-0.5, using CFHT Megacam.

HectoMAP is a dense redshift survey of red galaxies covering a 53 square degree strip of the northern sky, and Horizon Run 4 is one of the densest and largest cosmological simulations based on the standard Lambda cold dark matter model. We use HectoMAP and Horizon Run 4 to compare the physical properties of observed large-scale structures with simulated ones in the redshift range 0.22

본 논문은 죠셉 콘래드의 "어둠의 속"에서 중심인물인 말로우가 자신의 아프리카 탐험을 바탕으로 한 서사를 통해서 스스로를 서구 계몽주의의 합리적 이성주체 그리고 진리주체로 드러내고자 하는 시도를 하고 있음을 고찰하고자 한다. 작품에서 제국주의 이데올로기와 성 이데올로기는 서구 계몽주의 합리적 이성주체를 구성하는 데 작동하고 있다. 말로우는 아프리카에서 커츠를 만나러 가는 여정과 그와의 만남을 통해 제국과 성의 이데올로기들이 외부 현실세계에서 작용하고 있다는 사실을 알게 되었다고 자부한다. 그러나 말로우는 자신의 현실인식 역시 타자를 억압하고 타자의 정체성을 소멸시키는 서구의 전체주의적 이데올로기 담론에 의해 침윤되어있다는 사실을 모르는 주체이다. 말로우는 서구 계몽주의 주체인 동시에 계몽주의의 이분법적 위계서열을 가치판단의 기준으로 삼는 이성에 의해 지배당하는 식민주체이다. 말로우는 자신이 제국주의의 본질이란 정치적 폭력과 경제적 수탈로 점철되는 현실이고 이것을 깨달은 진정한 계몽주체라고 자랑한다. 그러나 그의 서사담론은 제국주의에서 발견되는 배타적이며 자기중심적 이데올로기와 성 이데올로기로 원주민을 비인간적 존재로 판단하고 여성을 이상화된 세계에 매몰된 존재로 파악하는 자기모순의 오류를 범하고 있다.

In this paper we examined the association of Infrared Dark Cloud (IRDC) cores with YSOs and the geometric properties of the IRDC cores. For this study a total of 13,650 IRDC cores were collected mainly from the catalogs of the IRDC cores published from other studies and partially from our catalog of IRDC cores containing new 789 IRDC core candidates. The YSO candidates were searched for using the GLIMPSE, MSX, and IRAS point sources by the shape of their SED or using activity of water or methanol maser. The association of the IRDC cores with these YSOs was checked by their line-of-sight coincidence within the dimension of the IRDC core. This work found that a total of 4,110 IRDC cores have YSO candidates while 9,540 IRDC cores have no indication of the existence of YSOs. Considering the 12,200 IRDC cores within the GLIMPSE survey region for which the YSO candidates were determined with better sensitivity, we found that 4,098 IRDC cores (34%) have at least one YSO candidate and 1,072 cores among them seem to have embedded YSOs, while the rest 8,102 (66%) have no YSO candidate. Therefore, the ratio of [N(IRDC core with protostars)]/[N(IRDC core without YSO)] for 12,200 IRDC cores is about 0.13. Taking into account this ratio and typical lifetime of high-mass embedded YSOs, we suggest that the IRDC cores would spend about $10^4\sim10^5$ years to form high-mass stars. However, we should note that the GLIMPSE point sources have a minimum detectable luminosity of about $1.2 L_{\odot}$ at a typical IRDC core's distance of ~4 kpc. Therefore, the ratio given here should be a 100ver limit and the estimated lifetime of starless IRDC cores can be an upper limit. The physical parameters of the IRDC cores somewhat vary depending on how many YSO candidates the IRDC cores contain. The IRDC cores with more YSOs tend to be larger, more elongated, and have better darkness contrast than the IRDC cores with fewer or no YSOs.
