This study confirmed the usefulness of short-wavelength infrared (SWIR) in the discrimination and classification of evergreen forest types. A forested area near Hisayama and Sasaguri in Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan, served as the study area. Warm-temperate forest vegetation dominates the study site vegetation. Coniferous plantation forest, natural broad-leaved forest, and bamboo forest were analyzed using LANDSAT5/TM and SPOT4/HRVIR remote sensing data. Samples were extracted for the three forest types, and reflectance factors were compared for each band. Kappa coefficients of various band combinations were also compared by classification accuracy. For the LANDSAT5/TM data observed in April, October, and November, Bands 5 and 7 showed significant differences between bamboo, broad-leaved, and coniferous forests. The same significant difference was not recognized in the visible or near-infrared regions. Classification accuracy, determined by supervised classification, indicated distinct improvements in band combinations with SWIR, as compared to those without SWIR. Similar results were found for both LANDSAT5/TM and SPOT4/HRVIR data. This study identified obvious advantages in using SWIR data in forest-type discrimination and classification.

We calculate theoretical isochrones in a consistent way for five filters near the K-band, K, K', $K_s$, F205W, and F222M. Even when displayed in the same Vega magnitude system, the near-infrared colors of the same isochrone can differ by up to 0.18 mag at its bright end, depending on the filter. We analyze isochrones for several different extinction values, and find that a care is needed when comparing extinction values that are estimated by different filter sets, in particular when comparing those between atmospheric and space filter sets. To alleviate this problem, we present an 'effective extinction law' for each filter set and isochrone model, which describes extinction behaviour of isochrones in the observed color-magnitude diagram.

We performed a spectroscopic survey for cometary volatiles with the Infrared Camera onboard the Japanese infrared satellite AKARI. The observations were carried out in the near-infrared wavelength range in the period from 2008 June to 2010 January. In this paper, we summarize the observations and results of the AKARI survey for the mixing ratios of major volatiles in comets. We derived the $2.5-5{\mu}m$ spectra of 18 comets including both Oort cloud comets and Jupiter-family comets. Prominent emission bands in the observed spectra are the fundamental vibrational bands of water ($H_2O$) at $2.7{\mu}m$ and carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) at $4.3{\mu}m$. The fundamental vibrational band of carbon monoxide (CO) at $4.7{\mu}m$ and the broad emission feature probably related to C-H bearing molecules can also be recognized around the $3.4-3.5{\mu}m$ region in some comets. We detect $CO_2$ in 17 out of 18 comets, and derived gas production rate ratios of $CO_2$ with respect to $H_2O$ in 17 comets. We detect a reliable CO emission band only in three of the comets. Our data set provides the largest homogeneous database of $CO_2/H_2O$ ratios in comets obtained so far.

We present JHK-band near-infrared photometry of the star clusters in the dwarf irregular galaxy IC 5152. After excluding possible foreground stars, a number of candidate star clusters are identified in the near-infrared images of IC 5152, which include young populations. Especially, five young star clusters are identified in the(J-H, H-K) two color diagram and the total extinction values toward these clusters are estimated to be $A_v=2-6$ from the comparison with the theoretical values given by the Leitherer et al.(1999)'s theoretical star cluster model.

To study properties of the variation of the infrared emission of OH/IR stars, we collect and analyze the infrared observational data in K band for nine OH/IR stars. We use the observational data obtained for about three decades including recent data from the two micron all sky survey (2MASS) and the deep near infrared survey of the southern sky (DENIS). We use Marquardt-Levenberg algorithm to determine the pulsation period and amplitude for each star and compare them with previous results of infrared and radio investigations.

We present the results of the near-infrared (NIR) to mid-infrared (MIR) slit spectroscopic observations of the diffuse emission toward nine positions in the nearby irregular galaxy Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) with the Infrared Camera (IRC) on board AKARI. The unique characteristic of AKARI/IRC provides a great opportunity to analyze variations in the unidentified infrared (UIR) bands based on continuous spectra from 2.5 to $13.4{\mu}m$ of the same slit area. The observed variation of $I_{3.3}/I_{11.3}$ suggests destruction of small-sized UIR band carriers, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in harsh environments. This result demonstrates that the UIR $3.3{\mu}m$ band provides us powerful information on the excitation conditions and/or the size distribution of PAHs, which is of importance for understanding the evolutionary process of hydrocarbon grains in the Universe. It also suggests a new diagnostic diagram of two band ratios, such as $I_{3.3}/I_{11.3}$ versus $I_{7.7}/I_{11.3}$, for the interstellar radiation conditions. We discuss on the applicability of the diagnostic diagram to other astronomical objects, comparing the LMC results with those observed in other galaxies such as NGC 6946, NGC 1313, and M51.

도핑 되지 않은 반 절연 LEC GaAs내의 EL2와 얕은 준위 분포를 영상화하기 위해 대역단 적외선 영상 기법을 활용했다. 대역단 적외선 투사 매핑에 근거한 본 기법은 분석 속도가 빠르고 비파괴적인 방법이다. EL2 흡수 영상이 콘트라스트 반전되는 대역단 부근에 대한 정량적인 해석은 아직 보고되지 않고 있다. 본 논문은 대역단 부근에서 영상의 특정 부분(cell, wall)에 대한 포토퀀칭 메커니즘의 스펙트럼-, 공간- 및 온도- 종속성을 논하고 있다. 결함 부분별(EL2w, EL2b)로 포토퀀칭 개시점이 다른 것은 불순물 종류의 차이로 인한 서로 다른 전기적 작용에 기인한 것으로 해석할 수 있다. 전위(dislocation) 밀도가 높은 곳에서는 EL2b 밀도는 약간 적은 반면 EL2w 밀도는 보다 많다는 것을 정량적 해석으로부터 확인 했다.

We present near- and mid-infrared images of the Crab Nebula, taken with the Infrared Camera (IRC) onboard the AKARI infrared space telescope. These images have a field-of-view of 10'*10' and show the full extent of the nebula at 3, 4, 7, 11, 15, and 24 um. The Crab nebula in near infrared is dominated by synchrotron emission while, in mid infrared, the ionic forbidden lines of Ar, Ne, S, and Fe makes significant contribution. We separate the line emission from synchrotron emission in 3-15 um AKARI bands using the ISOCAM CVF data, and present separate images for the line and synchrotron emissions in each band. We derive the total synchrotron fluxes of the Crab nebula in these bands, which are used to complete the synchrotron spectral energy distribution of the Crab nebula from radio to X-rays. We discuss the spectral variations of the Crab nebula.

We have constructed a line-by-line model of the A-X system of CO in order to analyze the CO bands appearing in the UV spectra of comets. The model includes electronic, rotational, vibrational transitions, excitations by solar UV radiation, and effects of neutral and electron collisions. The major bands of the A-X system occur in the $1200 - 1800{\AA}$ range where the temporal variation of solar irradiation is significant. The solar spectrum in this spectral range shows many emission lines, which cause a significant Swings effect. We derived fluorescence efficiencies of the bands as functions of heliocentric velocity and cometocentric distance using a high resolution spectrum of the sun. We compared our model with a spectrum of comet P/Halley obtained with the IUE, and estimated that the UV Swings effects are less than 20 fluorescence efficiencies for the most bands of the A-X system. We discuss the temporal variation of solar UV irradiation and its effects on the fluorescence efficiencies. The study of the A-X system also requites knowledge of vibrational and rotational fluorescent processes in the infrared and radio regions because the majority of CO molecules in the coma is in the ground rotational states. The solar infrared spectrum near 5 microns, where the fundamental band of CO occurs, contains strong absorption lines of the fundamental band and hot bands of CO and its isotopes. We derived fluorescence efficiencies of the infrared band as functions of heliocentric velocity and cometrocentric distance. The solar absorption lines near 5 microns cause a 20 reduction of the g-factor of the fundamental band at heliocentric velocities close to 0 km/sec. We discuss the effects of neutral and electron collisions on the fluorescence efficiencies of the infrared and UV bands.

일반적인 반도체 기반의 광촉매는 물질 고유의 밴드갭 때문에 자외선이나 가시광선에 의해서만 활성화될 수 있고, 태양광 에너지의 약 50%를 차지하는 근적외선 영역의 에너지는 활용할 수 없다. 따라서 기존의 반도체 광촉매의 성능을 향상시키기 위해서는 자외선에서 근적외선에 이르는 넓은 영역에서 더 많은 태양광 에너지를 활용할 수 있어야 한다. 태양광의 근적외선 영역을 활용하기 위해 기존 반도체 광촉매를 업컨버전 나노입자와 결합하는 연구들이 수행되고 있다. 업컨버전 나노입자는 근적외선 광자를 여러 개 흡수하여 자외선이나 가시광선으로 변환하여 광촉매를 활성화할 수 있다. 그리고 반도체 광촉매와 업컨버전 나노입자에 플라즈모닉 금속 나노입자를 함께 결합시키면 태양광에 의한 광촉매 활성을 더욱 향상시킬 수 있다. 본 총설은 업컨버전 나노입자를 이용하여 근적외선 영역의 태양광 에너지가 광촉매의 성능 향상에 기여할 수 있도록 하는 최근의 연구결과를 바탕으로 서술하였다.
