  • Based on the $850{\mu}m$ dust continuum data from James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT)/SCUBA-2, we compare overall properties of Planck Galactic Cold Clumps (PGCCs) in the ${\lambda}$ Orionis cloud with PGCCs in other molecular clouds, Orion A and Orion B. The Orion A and Orion B clouds are well known active star-forming region, while, ${\lambda}$ Orionis cloud has a different environment associating with prominent OB associations and a giant H II region. PGCCs in the ${\lambda}$ Orionis cloud have higher dust temperatures (Td~16.08 K) and lower values of dust emissivity (${\beta}{\sim}1.65$) than Orion A and Orion B clouds. In addition, we found the lowest detection rate (16 %, 8 out of 50) of PGCCs at $850{\mu}m$ in the ${\lambda}$ Orionis cloud while among three regions; Orion A and Orion B clouds show much higher detection rates of ~ 76 % (23 out of 30) and 56 % (9 out of 16), respectively. The detected 8 PGCCs in the ${\lambda}$ Orionis cloud have substructures and we identified 15 cores. The cores also show much lower median values of size (~0.08 pc), column density (~ ), number density (~ ), and mass (~ ) compared with other cores in the Orion A and Orion B clouds. These core properties in the ${\lambda}$ Orionis cloud can be attributed to the compression and external heating by the nearby H II region, which may prevent the PGCCs from forming gravitationally bound structures and eventually disperse them. These results well present the negative stellar feedback to core formation.

  • We present the FIMS/SPEAR FUV continuum map of The Taurus - Auriga - Perseus (TPA) complex, which is one of the largest local association of dark clouds located in (l,b)~([152,180],[-28,0]). We also present the result of FUV dust scattering simulation, which is based on Monte Carlo Radiative Transfer(MCRT) technique. Before the simulation we generate the model cloud using Hipparcos 77834 stars and the calculation of their E(B-V). From the density-integrated image and the cross section image of the modeled cloud we confirmed that the Taurus cloud is located in ~130pc. The cloud north of the California nebula is known for its two layered structure and we confirm that using the cross section image of the modeled cloud. In our modeled cloud, that two clouds are located at ~130pc and at ~300pc, respectively. Over the whole region the result image of simulation is well correlated with the diffuse FUV observed with FIMS/SPEAR. The dense core of the Taurus cloud, however, is not revealed completely in the map.

  • We present the results of dust scattering simulations carried out for the Orion Eridanus Superbubble region by comparing them with observations made in the far-ultraviolet. The albedo and the phase function asymmetry factor (g-factor) of interstellar grains were estimated as well as the distance and thickness of the dust layers. The results are: 0.39-0.45 for the albedo and 0.25-0.65 for the g-factor, in good agreement with previous determinations and theoretical predictions. The distance of the assumed single dust layer, modeled for the Orion Molecular Cloud Complex, was estimated to be -110 pc and the thickness ranged from -130 at the core to -50 pc at the boundary for the region of the present interest, implying that the dust cloud is located in front of the Superbubble. The simulation result also indicates that a thin (-10 pc) dust shell surrounds the inner X-ray cavities of hot gas at a distance of -70-90 pc.

  • We present the results of dust scattering simulations carried out for the Orion-Eridanus Superbubble region by comparing them with observations made in the far-ultraviolet. The albedo and the phase function asymmetry factor (g-factor) of interstellar grains were estimated, as were the distance and thickness of the dust layers. The results are as follows: [0.43]_(-0.04)^(+0.02) for the albedo and [0.43]_(-0.2)^(+0.2) for the g-factor, in good agreement with previous determinations and theoretical predictions. The distance of the assumed single dust layer, modeled for the Orion Molecular Cloud Complex, was estimated to be ~110 pc, and the thickness ranged from ~130 at the core to ~50 pc at the boundary for the region of present interest, implying that the dust cloud is located in front of the superbubble. The simulation result also indicates that a thin (~10 pc) dust shell surrounds the inner X-ray cavities of hot gas at a distance of ~70-90 pc.

  • In an advanced modern society, among air pollutants caused by urban industrialization and public transportation, fine dust flows into indoors from the outdoors. The fine dust meter used indoors provides limited information and measures the pollution level differently, so there is a problem that users cannot monitor and monitor the data they want. To solve this problem, in this paper, indoor air quality data fine dust and ultra-fine dust (PM1.0, PM2.5, PM10), VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) and PIR (Passive Infrared Sensor) are used to measure fine dust. and a monitoring system were designed and implemented. We propose a fine dust meter and monitoring system that is installed in a designated area to measure fine dust in real time, collects, stores, and visualizes data through App Engine of Google Cloud Platform and provides it to users.

  • The aerosol characteristics in terms of 4 different cases (Asian dust, fog, clear sky and cloud) which had happened at Anmyeon Island in April 2006 were studied using various measurements such as the Micro Pulse Lidar (MPL), sunphotometer, $\beta$-ray $PM_{10}$ Analyzer, anemoscope and anemometer. In addition, synoptic charts, back trajectory analyses and satellite images were also used to help characterize the aerosol events. The aerosol optical properties were featured by the Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) and ${\AA}ngstr\ddot{o}m$ exponent which were estimated by the sunphotometer. When Anmyeon Island was dominated by the Asian dust, the AOD was sharply increased as seven times as a yearly average of it (0.35). As compared with a yearly average of the ${\AA}ngstr\ddot{o}m$ exponent of 0.97, the ${\AA}ngstr\ddot{o}m$ exponent of a dust day was significantly low (0.099). In addition, $PM_{10}$ mass concentration showed an extremely high record. The maximum concentration reached $1790.5{\mu}gm^{-3}$ on 8 April 2006. The maximum mass concentration was shown with delay when the wind speed of $0ms^{-1}$ was observed. It was also found that a satellite image of the MODIS-RGB had a good agreement with the results of those measurements. It was shown that the MPL was able to describe effectively the vertical distribution of aerosol for all the cases. In particular, the MPL evidently captured the aerosol layer before the cloud observation. The aerosol layer was similarly described by the AOD. On a clear sky day, the AOD had not only a very low value (0.054) but also a feature of homogeneity.

  • The L1641 cloud in Orion is an active site of star formation. We mapped a square region of 60 arcmin by 60 arcmin in the continuum emission from 0.89 mm to 2.0 mm wavelength using MUSIC mounted on the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory 10.4 m telescope. Eight sources were detected in at least two wavelength bands, and all the detected emission comes from thermal dust continuum radiation of dense cloud cores. Their spectral energy distributions were characterized. The dust emissivity spectral index is beta = 1.3 on average, within the range of typical cores in nearby star-forming regions. Two cores, V380 Ori NE and HH 34 MMS, have unusually low emissivity index of beta = 0.3. These cores may contain millimeter-sized dust grains, which suggests that the lifetime of some dense cores can be much longer than the free-fall timescale.

  • Wheat dust cloud를 $5{\times}5{\times}214.1cm^3$ square tube내부에 발생시켜 화염의 전달과 연소 한계에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 사용된 미립자는 $160{\mu}m-300{\mu}m$의 크기로 분류되어 주로 사용되었고 $300{\mu}m-325{\mu}m$크기의 미립자가 더불어 사용되었다. 연소 튜브는 연료로 사용되는 미립자를 튜브의 상단에서부터 컨베이어 벨트를 사용해서 공급받아 튜브의 하단에서 전기코일을 사용하여 점화시키는 구조로 고안되었다. 화염의 최대 진행속도는 작은 크기와 보다 큰 크기의 미립자를 사용했을 때가 각각 523cm/sec와 373cm/sec로 측정되었다. 연소 속도는 입자의 크기와 집접도(concentration)에 따라 변화를 보였는데 최소 3cm/sec에서 최대 7.5cm/sec로 관측되었다. 그러나 화염의 두께는 놀랍게도 입자의 집접도와 큰 연관이 없어 보였는데, 이는 앞으로도 보다 많은 연구를 통한 검증이 필요하리라 생각된다. 끝으로 fuel rich flammability는 $790g/m^3$으로 stoichiometric mixture $230g/m^3$에 비교해 월등히 높은 값으로 관측되었다.

  • We present preliminary results of 1.1 and 1.3 mm dust continuum and 12CO (J=2-1) line data obtained with the Submillimeter Array toward six cores harboring Class 0/I objects in the λ Orionis cloud. They are located in bright rimmed clouds, which are exposed to the far-ultraviolet radiation field by the O-type star λ Ori. Compact dust continuum emission is observed from all six cores. Among the six cores, only one core G196.92-10.37 shows a signature of binarity with separation of 4000 AU. The numbers of singles and binaries in our sample are five and one, respectively and the derived multiplicity frequency (MF) is 0.17. This value is lower than those found in the binary surveys toward Class 0/I objects, which may be a hint for negative feedback by the nearby massive star, lambda Ori. The derived excitation temperature (Tex) using 12CO emission shows a lower median value (20 K) than those of triggered star-forming regions (30 K). The lower MF and Tex support our previous study that star formation was not triggered in the λ Orionis cloud. We aim to further investigate whether the Class 0/I YSOs in the λ Orionis cloud have less circumstellar materials and smaller accretion rates than in other filamentary clouds (e.g., Orion A & B), which might be attributed to negative feedback from the massive star in limiting accretion of protostars.
