New observations for the times of minimum lights of a well-known apsidal motion star CW Cephei were made using a 0.6 m wide field telescope at Jincheon station of Chungbuk National University Observatory, Korea during the 2015 observational season. We determined new times of minimum lights from these observations and analyzed O-C diagrams together with collected times of minima to study both the apsidal motion and the Light Time Effect (LTE) suggested in the system. The new periods of the apsidal motion and the LTE were calculated as 46.6 and 39.3 years, respectively, which were similar but improved accuracy than earlier ones investigated by Han et al. (2002), Erdem et al. (2004) and Wolf et al. (2006).

The aim of this study is provide fundamental data on the glove size and pattern-making. The study was conducted targeting 60 men and 271 women whose age were within the limits 18-35 in Seoul and the neighboring districts. A total of 90 features in the right hand wew used for the anthropometric measurement and analysis using anthropometry and photometry. The result show that there was a difference between men and women' hand. And the result of correlation analysis between hand factors, length factor related to length and depth factors, breadth factor related to breadth and circumference factors. The sailing glove size in Korea was not suitable to Index finger circumference at 1st Phalanx and Middle finger length.

The purpose of this study was to classify the somatotype based on the side view and to analyze the characteristics of each somatotype. The subjects were 201 middle-aged women aged from 35 to 54. Data were collected through anthropometry and photometry and analyzed by factor analysis, cluster analysis, analysis of variance, and discriminant analysis. As the result of factor analysis for the classification of somatotypes, 6 factors which explain 80.8% of variance were extracted from 35 photometric measurement. Using factor scores cluster analysis was carried out and the subjects were classified into 4 cluster Each cluster was classified as straight type, turning over type, bending type and swayback according to its position to the relative plumb line and their side view contour. And 4 somatotypes were analyzed by theirs direct anthropometric and indirect Photometric measurment to represent physical characteristics of each group.

On March 6 2021, Apophis made a close approach to the Earth with a minimum distance of 0.11 AU when the apparent magnitude reached up to V~16. This was the most favorable condition to observe this asteroid until its 2029 encounter. The observations during this apparition were extremely important to determine major physical properties, such as size, rotational state, 3D shape model, surface mineral properties. So, we organized the observation campaign during the 2021 apparition. The main goals of our campaign are to refine the spin state and 3D shape model and check the surface composition variations. The campaign involved dozens of countries and included ground-based photometry and spectroscopy, and spacecraft observations. Our timely observation campaign will provide essential data in planning the operation scenario for the space mission. In this presentation, we will report the preliminary result of the Apophis observation campaign during the 2021 apparition.

We present 2D- photometric decompositions of ~1,200 nearby dwarf galaxies. Our representative sample is derived from 'A catalog of Visually classified galaxies in the Local Universe'(Ann, Seo and Ha APJS,,,2015) of which galaxy morphological types are determined by visual inspection of color images using the Sloan Digital Sky Survey data release 7. In this catalog, dwarf galaxies were divided into 5 subtypes : dS0, dE, dSph, dEbc, dEblue with distinction of the presence of nucleation in dE, dSph, and dS0. The dSph types are less brighter than other types, and galaxies with nuclei are slightly brighter than those with no nuclei in the same types. Sersic index n have a range 1~1.5, and $dE_{un}$ and $dSph_{un}$ galaxies have n less than 1, and $dSph_n$ galaxies have largest values. We performed two-dimensional decomposition of galaxies using GALFIT, and analyzed their structural components, and residual features which are seen in the residual image.

We develop a real-time data transfer system for the Korea Microlensing Telescope Network (KMTNet) photometry data and test whether it is suitable for Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute (KASI) and three different observatories, which are Cerro Tololo Inter-Ameriacan Observatory (CTIO) in Chile, Siding Springs Observatory (SSO) in Australia, and South African Astronomical Observatory (SAAO) in South Africa. For this test, we use a high speed global network being dedicated for researches. From the test, we obtain that the elapsed times between KASI and each three observatories, CTIO, SSO, and SAAO to transfer 650 MB of data are 99.0, 9.2, 119.0 seconds, respectively. This means that the system can be used for the real-time data processing of KMTNet.

We estimate the enclosed mass profile in the central 10 pc of the Milky Way by analyzing the infrared photometry and the velocity observations of dynamically relaxed stellar population in the Galactic center. HST/NICMOS and Gemini Adaptive Optics images in the archive are used to obtain the number density profile, and proper motion and radial velocity data were compiled from the literature to find the velocity dispersion profile assuming a spherical symmetry and velocity isotropy. From these data, we calculate the the enclosed mass and density profiles in the central 10 pc of the Galaxy using the Jeans equation. Our improved estimates can better describe the exact evolution of the molecular clouds and star clusters falling down to the Galactic center, and constrain the star formation history of the inner part of the Galaxy.

Luminosity profiles and dynamical parameters of 12 globular clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud(SB(s)m) are obtained from the concentric aperture photoelectric photometry of 3 different aged clusters and the collected photometric data of 9 clusters. The total masses of the globular clusters are calculated using the equation $M_\bigoplus$= ${Mr_t}^j(4\Omega^2-k^2)$, which is derived from the theroetical rotation curve for the exponential disk(Chun 1978). These masses lie between $0.3\times10^4$ and $15.8\times10^4M_\bigoplus$. From the determined total mass and luminosity, the mass-to-luminosity ratios are also derived. The M/L ratio of a cluster increases with the cluster age ; about 0.03 for the youngest clusters(SWB I) and about 0.24 for the oldest clusters (SWB VII). There is a difference in M/L by a factor of 10 between the galactic globular clusters and the old globular clusters in the LMC.

Galactic open clusters NGC 1907 and NGC 1912 are known as a binary cluster candidate by Subramaniam et al.(1995). With the SNUO 0.6m telescope, UBV CCD photometric observations were performed for 62 stars in NGC 1907 within the area of $8'{\times}8'$ and 203 stars in NGC 1912 within the area of $15'{\times}15'$ area. We obtained C-M and C-C diagrams. Their mean reddenings are E(B-V) = $0.50{\pm}0.03$ for NGC 1907 and $0.27{\pm}0.03$ for NGC 1912. The distance moduli are estimated as $10.9{\pm}0.15$ and $10.4{\pm}0.10$ for NGC 1907 and NGC 1912, respectively. The ages for these clusters are $400{\pm}50Myr$ for NGC 1907 and $150{\pm}30Myr$ for NGC 1912. The distance difference of the two clusters is 300pc and the age difference is 150Myr. These results imply that the two clusters are not physically connected.

I will present a new approach to constrain galaxy physical parameters from the combined interpretation of stellar and nebular emission in wide ranges of observations. This approach relies on a comprehensive library of synthetic spectra, assembled using state-of-the-art models of star formation and chemical enrichment histories, stellar population synthesis, nebular emission and attenuation by dust. We focus on the constraints set by 5-band photometry and low- and medium-resolution spectroscopy at optical rest wavelengths on a few physical parameters characterizing the stars and interstellar medium. Since these parameters cannot be known a priori for any galaxy sample, we assess the accuracy to which they can be retrieved by simulating 'pseudo-observations' using models with known parameters. We find that the combined analysis of stellar and nebular emission in low-resolution (50A FWHM) galaxy spectra provides valuable constraints on all physical parameters. The approach can be extended to the analysis of any type of observation and during this talk i will present some applications to observed galaxies up to redshift 1.5.
