  • 지구 주위 궤도를 공전하는 위성체가 지구 지향 자세를 유지할 경우, 위성체에 장착된 태양전지판이 태양지향을 할 수 없기 때문에 태양전지판구동기를 장착하여 태양전지판이 태양을 지향하도록 운용한다. 이 때 태양 주변을 공전하는 지구 공전궤도의 이심율과 지구 자전축의 기욺으로 인해 태양전지판이 태양을 지향하는 위치가 계절에 따라 변경되어 균시차가 발생하는데 본 논문에서는 자세안정화 요구조건에 따라 두 개의 속도로 운용하는 태양전지판구동기 운용의 경우에 대해 균시차로 인한 태양지향 오차를 효과적으로 보상하는 운용 방안에 대해서 기술하고 실제적인 시뮬레이션을 통해 검증한 결과를 제시한다.

  • We have reviewed the magnetic activity in close binaries. Solar like magnetic activity indicators such as photometric spots, chromo spheric emission, coronal X-ray and radio emission, and flare activity are commonplace in many cool stars with convective envelopes. Using the UV spectra we confirmed the strength of stellar activity increases with more rapid rotation and later spectral types which corresponds to the increasing depth of the star's convective envelope. Apart from very young stellar objects such as T Tauri stars, the stars with the highest levels of activity are close binary systems composed of cool stars, i.e., the chromospherically active binaries such as RS CVn, BY Dra, W UMa and related systems. The IUE low and high dispersion spectra of V711 Tau, VW Cep and SW Lac are used for ultraviolet photometry and for a variation study of chromospheric activity. Evidence of chromospherically activity is indicated by the intensity variation of the Mg II emission line with orbital phase.

  • Photometric investigations of asteroids allow us to determine their rotation states and shape models (Apostolovska et al. 2014). Our main target, asteroid (2078) Nanking's perihelion distance (q) is 1.480 AU, which belongs to the Mars-crossing asteroid (1.3 < q < 1.66 AU). Mars-crossing asteroids are objects that cross the orbit of Mars and regarded as one of the primary sources of near-Earth asteroids due to the unstable nature of their orbits. We present the analysis of the spin parameters and 3D shape model of (2078) Nanking. We conducted Cousins_R-band time-series photometry of this asteroid from November 26, 2014 to January 17, 2015 at the Sobaeksan Optical Astronomy Observatory (SOAO) and for 25 nights from March to April 2016 using the Korea Microlensing Telescope Network (KMTNet) to reconstruct its physical model with our dense photometric datasets. Using the lightcurve inversion method (Kaasalainen & Torppa 2001; Kaasalainen et al. 2001), we determine the pole orientation and shape model of this object based on our lightcurves along with the archival data obtained from the literatures. We derived rotational period of 6.461 h, the preliminary ecliptic longitude (${\lambda}_p$) and latitude (${\beta}_p$) of its pole as ${\lambda}_p{\sim}8^{\circ}$ and ${\beta}_p{\sim}-52^{\circ}$ which indicates a retrograde rotation of the body. From the apparent W UMa-shaped lightcurve and its location in the rotation frequency-amplitude plot of Sheppard and Jewitt (2004), we suspect the contact binary nature of the body (Choi 2016).

  • 이 논문에서는 시추공을 이용한 탐사나 자료 해석 시에 중요한 시추공 궤적 정보 획득 방법에 대한 이해를 공유하고자, 깊이에 따른 시추공의 좌표를 구하는 시추공 공곡 측정 문제를 좌표계 변환 공식에 기초하여 수학적으로 정리하였다. 먼저, 철재 케이싱이 설치되어 있지 않은 시추공에 적용 가능한 방법으로서 3성분 가속도계와 3성분 자력계를 함께 이용하여 시추공의 방위각, 편차각 그리고 센서회전각을 구하는 원리를 정리하였다. 다음으로, 철재 케이싱이 설치되어 있을 경우에 자이로스코프에서 3성분 각속도가 측정되었을 때, 좌표계 변환 행렬의 시간 미분 관계식에 기초해 각속도의 시간에 따른 적분을 통해 요-피치-롤 각을 구하는 수학적 이론을 정리하고 지구 자전의 영향을 제거함으로써 측정자료의 시간 적분에 의해 시추공의 궤적을 구하는 방법을 설명하였다. 오차가 포함된 측정 자료로부터 시추공 공곡 결정의 정확도를 높이는 중요한 방법으로 센서 또는 측정 자료를 융합하는 원리도 예를 들어 설명하였다. 시추공 공곡 측정원리는 GPS 수신이 불가능한 터널내에서의 궤적 추적 또는 무인비행체를 이용한 공중 탐사나 항공 탐사 시 센서의 자세 측정에도 활용될 수 있다. 또한, 센서의 융합에서 필수적으로 접목되어야 할 최적화 필터에 대해서도 중요 문헌 및 사례를 소개함으로써, 앞으로의 연구에 도움을 주고자 하였다.

  • Topex/Poseidon(T/P)고도계 자료를 조석 수치 모델에 혼합하여 북동 아시아 해역의 $M_2,\;S_2,\; K_1$, 및 $O_1$ 분조를 $5'{\times}5'$ 분해능으로 계산하여, 북동 아시아의 조석을 산정하였다. Blending 방법에 사용되는 가중 인자 값에 대한 모델반응을 검토하기 위해 $M_2$ 분조만을 고려한 수치 실험이 수행되었으며, 수치 실험을 통해 T/P 자료를 정확히 재현하되 혼합함으로써 발생하는 잡음을 줄이기 위해 가중 인자 값은 수심의 평방근에 반비례하도록 설정하였다. T/P자료에서 구한 $M_2,\;S_2,\; K_1$, 및 $O_1$ 분조를 동시에 혼합한 수치 모델 결과는 연구 해역 내의 모든 T/P궤도 자료와 비교되었다. 진폭 오차와 지각 오차의 평균은 거의 0으로 나타났다. 진폭 오차의 표준 편차는 2 cm 내외였으며, 지각오차의 표준 편차는 $10^{\circ}$보다 작았다. T/P자료를 혼합한 모델 결과는 특히 얕은 수심(h<250m)의 T/P 궤도 자료와 거의 일치하는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 T/P 자료만으로부터 계산된 진폭과 지각은 깊은 수심 해역에 대해서는 불합리한 공간 변화를 보이는 반면, 이들 자료를 동화시킨 모델 결과는 T/P 자료와는 차이를 보이나 합리적인 진폭과 지각의 공간 분포를 보였다. 한편 T/P자료를 혼합한 모델 결과는 자료 동화에 사용하지 않은 연안 관측 자료와도 비교적 잘 일치하였다.

  • The authors aim to establish the theory necessary for developing free gyro positioning system and focus on measuring the nadir angle by using the motion rate of a free gyro. The azimuth of a gyro vector from the North can be given by using the property of the free gyro. The motion rate of the spin axis in the gyro frame is transformed into the platform frame and again into the NED (north-east-down) navigation frame. The nadir angle of a gyro vector is obtained by using the North components of the motion rate of the spin axis in the NED frame. The component has to be transformed into the horizontal component of the gyro by using the azimuth of the gyro vector and then has to be integrated over the sampling interval.

  • The cyclic environmental conditions brought about by the 24 h rotation of the earth have allowed the evolution of endogenous circadian clocks that control the temporal alignment of behaviour and physiology, including the uptake and processing of nutrients. Both metabolic and circadian regulatory systems are built upon a complex feedback network connecting centres of the central nervous system and different peripheral tissues. Emerging evidence suggests that circadian clock function is closely linked to metabolic homeostasis and that rhythm disruption can contribute to the development of metabolic disease. At the same time, metabolic processes feed back into the circadian clock, affecting clock gene expression and timing of behaviour. In this review, we summarize the experimental evidence for this bimodal interaction, with a focus on the molecular mechanisms mediating this exchange, and outline the implications for clock-based and metabolic diseases.

  • Astronomical observation is the beginning of scientific attitudes in the history of mankind. According to Indian tradition, there existed 18 early astronomical texts (siddhantas) composed by Surya, Pitamaha and many others. Varahamihira compiled five astronomical texts in a book named panchasiddhantika, which is now the link between early and later siddhantas. Indian scholars had no practice of writing their own names in their works, so, it is very difficult to identify them. Aryabhata is the first name noticed, in the book Aryabhatiya. After this point most astronomers and astro-writers wrote their names in their works. In this paper I have tried to analyze the works of astronomers like Aryabhata, Varahamihira, Brahmagupta, Bhaskara I, Vateswara, Sripati and Bhaskaracharya in a modern context and to obtain an account of Indian astronomical knowledge. Aryabhata is the first Indian astronomer who stated that the rising and setting of the Sun, the Moon and other heavenly bodies was due to the relative motion of the Earth caused by the rotation of the Earth about its own axis. He also estabished the 'yuga' theory (one Mahayuga = 432000 years). Varahamihira compiled panchasiddhantika and wrote Brihatsamhita. Brahmagupta is the most distinguished astronomer known to us. His two major works are i) Brahmasphutasiddhanta and ii) Khandkhadaka. Bhaskara I was the follower of Aryabhata. His three known works are Mahabhaskariya, Laghubhaskariya and Aryabhatiyabhasya. Vateswara follows Aryapaksha and Saurapaksha. His master work is Vateswarasiddhanta. Sripati, in his siddhantasekhara, gives the rules for determining the Moon's second inequality. Bhaskara II wrote the most comprehensive astronomical work in Indian astronomy. The result of these works is the account of the Indian astronomical heritage. These works are written in the Sanskrit language. A very few of these manuscripts have been translated in English but many are yet to be done. So, it is necessary to translate these astronomical texts into English with proper commentary for modern scholars. This paper will be helpful in this work.

  • The Optical Wide-field patroL-Network (OWL-Net) is a global optical network for Space Situational Awareness in Korea. The primary operational goal of the OWL-Net is to track Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites operated by Korea and to monitor the Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO) region near the Korean peninsula. To obtain dense measurements on LEO tracking, the chopper system was adopted in the OWL-Net's back-end system. Dozens of angle-only measurements can be obtained for a single shot with the observation mode for LEO tracking. In previous work, the reduction process of the LEO tracking data was presented, along with the mechanical specification of the back-end system of the OWL-Net. In this research, we describe an integrity assessment method of time-position matching and verification of results from real observations of LEO satellites. The change rate of the angle of each streak in the shot was checked to assess the results of the matching process. The time error due to the chopper rotation motion was corrected after re-matching of time and position. The corrected measurements were compared with the simulated observation data, which were taken from the Consolidated Prediction File from the International Laser Ranging Service. The comparison results are presented in the In-track and Cross-track frame.
