We developed a data reduction program (RX) to process BOES data automatically. It processes a whole set of data taken during one night automatically - preprocessing, extraction to one-dimensional spectra and wavelength calibration. The execution is very fast and the performance looks pretty good. We described the performance of this program, comparing its procedure with that of IRAF. RX does not have functions for continuum normalization yet. We will develop those functions in the next works.

한국천문연구원은 미국 BBSO(Big Bear Solar Observatory)에 건설 중인 1.6 m NST(New Solar Telescope) 개발사업에 참여하고 있다. 고속태양영상분광기, FISS(Fast Imaging Solar Spectrograph)는 한국천문연구원과 서울대학교가 공동으로 개발하는 태양관측용 영상분광기로서, Echelle 회절격자를 분광소자로 사용하고 있다. FISS는 빠른 영상 스캐닝과 고속 CCD 카메라를 이용하여 동시에 두 파장을 관측할 수 있으며, NST의 적응광학계로부터 영상을 입력받기 때문에 회절한계에 가까운 분광영상을 얻을 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 FISS 제작을 위한 요구사항 분석, 분광기 구성과 광학설계, 구성품의 제작, 그리고 분광기의 성능검증을 위한 태양 시험관측 결과에 대해 소개한다.

We report a possible low-mass companion around the K2 III star $\varepsilon$ CrB (HD 143107). This star belongs to our sample of 55 K-giants studied for their radial velocity variations using the fiber-fed Bohyunsan Observatory Echelle Spectrograph (BOES) attached to the 1.8-m telescope at Bohyunsan Optical Astronomy Observatory (BOAO). Our precise radial velocity measurements were obtained from February 2005 to June 2010. We find an orbital solution with a period of P = 419 days, a semi-amplitude of K = 137 m/s, and an eccentricity of e = 0.14. Assuming a moderate stellar mass of $M_{\bigstar}=0.77\;M\odot$, we calculate the minimum mass for the companion of m sini = $4.2\;M_{Jup}$ with an orbital semi-major axis of 1.0 AU.

To understand about Gould Belt, we intend to study chemical abundances for two young open clusters - IC 2391 which is a member of Gould Belt and NGC 6475 which is not. UVES POP (Ultraviolet and Visual Echelle Spectrograph Paranal Observatory Project) provides the spectra of twelve stars in IC 2391 and five stars in NGC 6475 with spectral resolution R of 80,000. In this study, we have determined the stellar parameters (Teff, logg, metallicity, and microturbulant velocity) using Fe I and Fe II lines. The equivalent widths of iron lines have been measured by TAME. The results of stellar parameters are presented.

We present the results of high resolution spectral analysis for Type Ia supernova SN 2014J in M82, which was discovered on 21 January 2014 UT. We performed spectroscopic observations for SN 2014J in its early phase at Bohyunsan Optical Astronomy Observatory with the high resolution echelle spectrograph BOES attached to 1.8-m reflector. Spectra of 26 epochs in 6 nights were obtained from 22 January 2014 to 23 February 2014 UT. Spectral feature variations for several significant lines including Si II and Ca II lines will be shown and discussed.

Simultaneous observations of high resolution spectra of CaII H, K, ${\lambda}8542\;and\;{\lambda}8498$ have been made over a sunspot umbra (SPO 5007) by means of Sacramento Peak Observatory's HIRKHAD program with the Echelle spectrograph at the Vacuum Tower Telescope. The observed spectra scanned by SPO's fast microphotometer have been reduced for later theoretical interpretations. The reduced profiles, sampled over a region which is thought to be coolest over the spot, are presented in units of absolute intensity. The core intensity ratios of $I(K_3)/I(H_3);and\;I({\lambda}8498)/I({\lambda}8542)$ arc found to be 1.3 and 1.14, respectively.

In ground-based astronomical spectroscopic observations, there are many telluric absorption lines that are laid on the spectra of celestial objects. To study the physical properties of the celestial objects with these contaminated spectra, the telluric lines should be removed. A conventional method for removing the telluric lines is using the standard stellar spectrum as telluric line. In this paper, we introduce a technique to calculate synthetic telluric spectra and use them to remove telluric lines from a spectrum of a celestial object. We used Line-by-Line Radiative Transfer Model (LBLRTM) for calculating a synthetic spectrum and selected Michelson Interferometer for Passive Atmospheric Sounding (MIPAS) model as atmospheric model. We apply our method to some spectra obtained by Bohyunsan Observatory Echelle Spectrograph (BOES) to show that the telluric lines are well removed from the observed spectra by our model within an accuracy of 2% which is close to the 1-sigma rms of the original spectra.

Oscillating Algol-type eclipsing binaries (oEA) are very interesting objects that have three observational features of eclipse, pulsation, and mass transfer. Direct measurement of their masses and radii from the double-lined radial velocity (RV) data and photometric light curves would be the most essential for understanding their evolutionary process and for performing the asteroseismological study. However, only handful oEA stars were studied in detail. To advance this subject, we have been obtaining high-resolution spectra for several oEA stars using Bohyunsan Optical Echelle Spectrograph (BOES). In this presentation, we present our results such as the accurate absolute parameters and evolutionary states for each object, based on the simultaneous analyses of the light and RV curves.

We report the results of search for exoplanets by a precise radial velocity (RV) survey by using the high-resolution spectroscopy of the fiber-fed Bohyunsan Observatory Echelle Spectrograph (BOES) at Bohyunsan Optical Astronomy Observatory (BOAO). Since 2003, we have conducted a precise RV survey for ~500 stars, including 55 K giants, ~200 G giants, 10 M giants, 40 K dwarfs, and ~200 northern circumpolar stars. We present the detection of around 20 new exoplanets and brown dwarfs.

We present the two high resolution spectra of the symbiotic star V1016 Cygni obtained with the Bohyunsan Optical Echelle Spectrograph in 2003 and 2005, from which we note the existence of the broad emission feature at 4881 ${\AA}$. We propose that this broad feature is formed from Raman scattering of Ne $VII{\lambda}973$ by atomic hydrogen. Thus far, the detection of Raman scattered lines by atomic hydrogen is limited to O $VI{\lambda\lambda}1032$, 1038 and He $II{\lambda\lambda}940$, 972 and 1025. We perform Monte Carlo simulations to fit the Raman scattered Ne $VII{\lambda}4881$ to investigate the basic spectroscopic properties concerning Ne $VII{\lambda}973$.
