  • The observed radial UBV colour variations (both B-V and U-B) of some globular clusters are examined for correlations with radial variations in the integrated spectra. The results show that the presence of a radial colour gradient is correlated with the presence of a gradient of the CN (and possibly the G-band) line strength, in the sense that the CN (and possibly the G-band) is stronger in the centre (where the cluster is redder) and becomes weaker in the outer region of the cluster (where the cluster is bluer). This may suggest that a primordial abundance, possibly nitrogen and carbon gradient was set up in the early stage of cluster formation.

  • We report a null detection of $^{12}CO$ emission from a sub-condensation in a High Velocity Cloud (HVC). As a consequence of this, an upper limit of $n(H_2)\frac{X(CO)}{DV/DR}{\leq}2{\times}10^{-5}$ was set. This implies that $^{12}CO$ abundance is deficient by at least a factor of 10 if the HVC is predominantly molecular, otherwise the CO abundance of the HVC might be normal.

  • An extensive molecular equilibrium calculation has been performed under sunspot conditions in order to resolve the current dispute on the presence of $C_2$ lines in the spectrum of sunspots. Equilibrium abundance of $C_2$ has been computed under the conditions of umbral cores, umbrae and the normal photosphere. As the results, it is found that the umbral cores yield unfavorable environment for $C_2$ formation. It is concluded that $C_2$ molecular lines are not likely tn be observed in the spectrum of sunspots.

  • Distributions of microplankton in two different regions of the East China Sea were studied based on the plankton samples collected by R. V. Umitaka Maru of Fisheries University of Tokyo, Japan in September, 1975. The abundance distribution and species composition of the two areas were interpreted with their temperature-salinity properties. The two areas aye characterized by differences in the depth of thermocline, the nature of surface and bottom waters, and the abundance and species composition of microplankton.

  • Applying five morphological parameters defined along the main sequence (MS), red giant branch (RGB) and horizontal branch (HB) in the C-M diagram (CMD), and the transition period-luminosity relation for RR Lyrae variables, some basic physical quantities such as helium abundance, age, mass and luminosity are determined for 21 well observed globular clusters with combination of evolutionary models and atmospheric models properly chosen by the numerical test. The dependences of these quantities on the age and chemical abundance are investigated.

MOLECULAR LINE OBSERVATIONS TOWARD THE COMPACT HII REGIONS IN W58

  • The 3mm transitions to CO, $^{13}CO,\;CS,\;HCO^+$, and HCN have been observed toward the compact HII regions in W58 using the 14m Daeduk Radio Telescope (DRT). Some of the observed lines show high-velocity wings resulted from outflowing materials of the compact HII regions. We derive the beam averaged column densities of the observed species and compare their relative abundances. The $HCO^+$ abundance appears to be smaller by about an order of magnitude than those of 'typical' quiet molecular clouds. CS may be a good reference molecule in comparing relative abundances in different physical conditions.

  • A total of 33 fish species were collected by a small beam trawl from an eelgrass bed in Myoungjuri of Jindong Bay, Korea. The dominant fish species were Hexagrammos otakii, Pholis fangi, Repomucenus valenciennei, Pseudoblennus cottoides, Pholis nebulosa, Rudarius ercodes, Syngnathus schlegeli, and Sebastes schlegeli. These 8 fish species accounted for 79.5% of the total number of individuals collected. The fishes collected in the study area were primarily small fish species or juveniles of large fish species. Seasonal variations in both species composition and abundance were large; higher numbers of fish occurred from April to June 2002, while biomass was the highest in September 2001 and 2002. Seasonal changes in fish abundance corresponded with eelgrass biomass and abundance of food organisms.

  • We present an optical spectroscopic study of 28 supernova remnant (SNR) candidates in M81 and two SNR candidates in M82. The optical spectra of these SNR candidates were obtained using the MMT/Hectospec as a part of the K-GMT Science Program. Based on the [S II]/$H{\alpha}$ ratio and the radial velocity, we find that twenty six out of the M81 candidates are genuine SNRs. Two SNR candidates in M82 are thought to be shocked condensations in the galactic outflow or SNRs. In the spectral line ratio diagrams, M81 SNRs are divided into two groups: an [O III]-strong group and an [O III]-weak group. The [O III]-weak SNRs have larger sizes, and may have faster shock velocity. We estimate the nitrogen and oxygen abundance of the SNRs from the comparison with shock-ionization models. We find a radial gradient in nitrogen abundance, $dLog(N/H)/dlogR=-0.023{\pm}0.009\;dex\;kpc^{-1}$ little evidence for the gradient in oxygen abundance. The nitrogen abundance shows shallower gradient than those of the planetary nebulae and H II regions of M81. We find five X-ray emitting SNRs. Their X-ray hardness colors are consistent with thermal SNRs.

  • The community structure of benthic macroinvertebrates in the fine sediments of freshwater was analyzed according to various sampling tools and methods. The sediment core with the inner diameter of 7.5 cm was more effective in cost and labor in comparison to that of ${\Phi}5cm$ or ${\Phi}10cm$. The number of species increased with the increase in sample size (replicates). When it was collected five times with the ${\Phi}7.5cm$ sediment core, Shannon-Weaver's diversity and McNaughton's dominance of the sample reached about the 80 % level of the community estimates. Most species appeared in the sediment layer of 0-4 cm, and there were no newly recruited species below the depth of 4 cm. Individual abundance of benthic macroinvertebrates decreased exponentially along with the increase in sediment depth. Compared with the individual abundance of the 0-15 cm sediment layer, the abundance was 60 % in the 0-2 cm layer, 25 % in the 2-4 cm layer, 10 % in the 4-6 cm layer and 95 % in the 0-6 cm layer. Compared with organisms collected with the sieve of 0.2 mm pore, the number of species and the individual abundance sifted through the sieve with pore of 1 mm were 36 % and 88 %, and those with pore of 0.5 mm were 5 % and 55 %, respectively.
