Polarization is a basic property of light and is fundamentally linked to the internal geometry of a source of radiation. Polarimetry complements photometric, spectroscopic, and imaging analyses of sources of radiation and has made possible multiple astrophysical discoveries. In this article I review (i) the physical basics of polarization: electromagnetic waves, photons, and parameterizations; (ii) astrophysical sources of polarization: scattering, synchrotron radiation, active media, and the Zeeman, Goldreich-Kylafis, and Hanle effects, as well as interactions between polarization and matter (like birefringence, Faraday rotation, or the Chandrasekhar-Fermi effect); (iii) observational methodology: on-sky geometry, influence of atmosphere and instrumental polarization, polarization statistics, and observational techniques for radio, optical, and $X/{\gamma}$ wavelengths; and (iv) science cases for astronomical polarimetry: solar and stellar physics, planetary system bodies, interstellar matter, astrobiology, astronomical masers, pulsars, galactic magnetic fields, gamma-ray bursts, active galactic nuclei, and cosmic microwave background radiation.

외부의 환경적인 요인은 인간 건강에 많은 영향을 준다. 특히 요즘시대에 가장 중요한 맹점은 미세먼지이다. 미세먼지는 인간의 호흡기를 통해 흡입되면 폐 속에 깊이 침투되기 때문에 다양한 건강 문제를 발생시킨다. 우리의 생활주변 환경에서는 자동차와 사람이 통행할 수 있는 터널을 쉽게 볼 수 있다. 이번 연구에서는 서울 및 경기도 내의 보행 가능한 터널 7개를 무작위로 선정하여 터널 내부의 먼지 량과 비산 방사선량을 측정하여 먼지 량과 방사선량의 상관관계를 알아보고자 하였다. 측정방법은 날씨가 좋은날 (미세먼지수준: 0~30 ㎍/㎥)과 보통날 (미세먼지수준: 0~80 ㎍/㎥)을 선택하여 터널내부의 먼지 량과 방사선량을 각각이 측정하였다. 측정 결과는 미세먼지 수준이 적은 날 즉, 날씨가 좋은 날은 보행터널 중심에서 10-20 % 먼지가 증가되었으며 미세먼지의 수준이 보통인 날은 터널 초입보다는 터널 중심에서 20-30 % 의 먼지가 증가되는 결과를 얻었다. 반면에 방사선량의 터널 측정결과는 날씨에 의존하지 않고 터널 초입보다는 터널 중심에서 10-20 % 방사선량이 증가가 되는 것으로 측정되었다. 결론적으로 사람이 오랜 시간터널에 머무를 경우에는 비산 먼지와 비산 방사선에 주의를 기울여야한다. 따라서 빈번하게 일반인이 터널보행 시에 본인의 건강을 위해 PM2.5 이하의 필터 마스크 착용을 권고한다.

We present analytical approximations for calculating the scattering and escape of non-ionizing photons from a plane-parallel medium with uniformly illuminated by external sources. We compare the results with the case of a spherical dust cloud. It is found that more scattering and absorption occur in the plane-parallel geometry than in the spherical geometry when the optical depth perpendicular to the plane and the radial optical depth of the sphere are the same. The results can provide an approximate way to estimate radiative transfer in a variety interstellar conditions and can be applied to the dust-scattered diffuse Galactic light.

A characteristic mode theory for longitudinal slot of arbitrary width in the outer conductor of coaxial waveguide is applied for calculating the characteristic magnetic currents, the characteristic fields, radiation patterns, and the fields evershere(inside and outside the guide, and in the aperture region). Numerical results of the equivalent magnetic currents and the radiation patterns are compared with those obtained by use of the method of moments.

A spectral measurement system for reflection and transmission properties by using an optical fiber and an ellipsoidal mirror was newly developed. The hemispherical reflectance and transmittance spectra of several heating resisting ceramics materials were measured from visible to middle infrared region. The directional characteristics of reflection and transmission were also investigated in consideration of the absorptance. The measured data were analyzed by using a four flux model of radiation transfer, The radiation properties could be estimated by the obtained scattering and absorption coefficient spectra.

An extended Fourier modal method (FMM) for optical dipole radiation in three-dimensional photonic structures is proposed. The core elements of the proposed FMM are the stable bidirectional scattering-matrix algorithm for modeling internal optical emission, and a novel optical-dipole-source model that prevents numerical errors induced by the Gibbs phenomenon. Through the proposed scheme, the FMM is extended to model a wide range of source-embedded photonic structures.

A possible cosmic X-ray background(XRB) radiation related to original antimatter is considered. If the universe is made of separating domains of antimatter and matter, the photons produced by the annihilation of electron-positron and proton-antiproton on the last scattering surface would reach us in the energy $\~$0.45 keV and $\~$60 keV respectively because of the redshift. The spectrums of X-ray radiation from annihilation are deduced and a possible observational figure is described also.

We examine cyclotron resonant interactions of radiation belt electrons with VLF chorus, plasmaspheric ELF hiss and electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves. Bounce-averaged diffusion rates depend on wave mode, equatorial pitch-angle, electron energy and L-shell. As well, diffusion rates can be sensitive to the latitudinal distributions of particle density and wave power. For different configurations of the plasmasphere, we calculate electron precipitation loss timescales due to combined scattering by VLF chorus, ELF hiss and EMIC waves.

A combination of conjugate gradient and Levenberg-Marquardt method is used to estimate the spatially varying scattering coefficient, ${\sigma}(r)$, in the solid and hollow spheres by utilizing the measured transmitted beams from the solution of an inverse analysis. The direct radiation problem associated with the inverse problem is solved by using the $S_{12}-approximation$ of the discrete ordinates method. The accuracy of the computations increased when the results from the conjugate gradient method are used as an initial guess for the Levenberg-Marquardt method of minimization. Optical thickness up to ${\tau}_0=3$ is used for the computations. Three different values of standard deviation are considered to examine the accuracy of the solution from the inverse analysis.
