We developed autoguiding system for IGRINS (Immersion Grating Infrared Spectrograph) which is a high resolution near-IR spectrograph. This instrument will be attached on the 2.7m telescope at the McDonald observatory in 2013 November. IGRINS consists of three near-Infrared detector modules, i. e., H and K band spectrograph modules and a K band slit camera module, within which we are using the slit camera for autoguiding of the telescope. Comparing to typical optical CCDs, however, the infrared array shows non-uniform responses, higher noises, and many bad pixels. In this poster, we present methods to improve center finding functions and algorithms for the infrared array and the simulator test results of the IGRINS Slit-Camera Package.

전파연구소 이천 분소에는 각각 세 개의 안테나로 30MHz∼2500MHz 대역의 태양전파를 관측할 수 있는 광대 역 태양전파분광시스템이 1995년에 설치되었다. 그 동안 태양전파 데이터를 수집 분석할 수 있는 소프트웨어가 없어 실질적인 관측이 이루어지지 않았으나 본 연구에 의해 운용 소프트웨어가 개발됨으로써 본격적인 태양전파관측 연구를 수행할 수 있게 되었다. 개발된 운용 소프트웨어를 실험 이용한 결과 1997년 11월 4일 06시경(UT)에 연속하여 발생한 3개의 TYPE III Burst에 대한 양질의 관측자료를 얻을 수 있었다. 본 논문에서는 전파연구소 이천 분소의 광대역 전파분광시스템을 소개하고 태양전파 데이터의 취득, 처리 및 분석을 위해 개발한 소프트웨어와 이를 통해 관측된 결과에 대하여 설명한다.

An autoguiding system for astronomical observations should be accurate and stable for efficient data taking. IGRINS (Immersion Grating Infrared Spectrograph) is a high resolution near-IR spectrograph which is now developed by Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute and the University of Texas. We plan to attach this instrument on the 2.7m telescope at the McDonald observatory in 2013. IGRINS consists on three detector modules, i. e., H and K band spectrograph modules and a K band slit camera module. We use the slit camera for autoguiding of the telescope. In this poster, we describe the system architecture of the hardware and software of the autoguiding system, and the algorithm which would effectively find centers of stellar images on or outside of the slit of the infrared array.

We report that a strong downflow event caused three-minute oscillations in the solar atmosphere. Our observations were carried out by using the Fast Imaging Solar Spectrograph (FISS) of the 1.6 meter New Solar Telescope (NST) and the Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS). Our main findings are as follows: (1) The strong downflow was seen at the $H{\alpha}$ absorption line at first, and then appeared at the Si IV and C II emission lines. It seems that the characteristics of the downflow are consistent with a coronal rain event. (2) After the event, oscillations of velocity were identified in the chromospheric lines and transition region lines. (3) The amplitudes of oscillations were 2km/s at Mg II line and 3km/s at C II and Si IV lines and decreased with time. (4) The period of the oscillation was 2.67 minutes at first, but gradually increased with time. Our findings are in agreement with Chae & Goode (2015)'s theory that of acoustic waves generated by a disturbance in a gravitationally-stratified medium.

The latest scientific highlights obtained with the Subaru telescope are given together with its current status and on-going instrumentation. We have been successfully operating the telescope and 8 observatory instruments (including an adaptive optics system) since January 1999, when the first light was accomplished. Open-use of Subaru began in December 2000. Subaru has a unique capability of its prime focus among other 8-10 meter class telescopes and has an excellent imaging performance as a result of its sophisticated active optics combined with the high stability of the sky at Mauna Kea. Scientific highlights are given on the discoveries of the most distant galaxies, spiral structure on a protoplanetary disk around AB Aur, and planetesimal belts in the debris disk around $\beta$ Pic. Brief summaries are given for three new instruments: the Multi-Object Infrared Camera and Spectrograph (MOIRCS), 188 element adaptive optics system, and Fiber Multi-Object Spectrograph (FMOS)

We have found cool homopause temperatures (Kim et al. 2016) of 180 - 250 K for the 8-micron North Polar Hot Spot (8NPHS) of Jupiter, which has been observed to be stationary at 180 deg (SysIII) longitude since the early 1980s. The 3-micron spectro-images of Jupiter that we analyzed were obtained with GNIRS, Gemini Near-Infrared Spectrograph at Gemini North on January 13, 2013(UT), and at $8{\mu}m$ on Feburary 6, 2013(UT) with TEXES, the Texas Echelon Cross Echelle Spectrograph at the NASA IRTF. The cool homopause was unexpected, and a possible implication of the relatively cool 8NPHS homopause compared with those of other auroral regions will be presented.

A CCD camera for the BOES (Bohyunsan Observatory Echelle Spectrograph) has been developed. The camera consists of a 2048 ${\times}$ 4096 format CCD, a SDSU Gen-I CCD controller, and a continuous flow cryostat (CFC) designed by the ESO. In order to control the CCD under SDSU Gen-I controller, the voltage level of all the biases and clocks were lowered by -6V. The CFC showed cooling time of about 10 hour, after which the chip temperature settled down with variation less than ${\pm}1^{\circ}C$. The final chip temperature is around -105$^{\circ}C$ with the setting value for the CFC as -170$^{\circ}C$.
