Operational orbit determination (OOD) depends on the capability of generating accurate prediction of spacecraft ephemeris in a short period. The predicted ephemeris is used in the operations such as instrument pointing and orbit maneuvers. In this study the orbit prediction problem consists of the estimating diverse arc length orbit using GPS navigation data, the predicted orbit for the next 48 hours, and the fitted 30-hour arc length orbits of double differenced GPS measurements for the predicted 48-hour period. For 24-hour orbit arc length, the predicted orbit difference from truth orbit was 205 meters due to the along-track error. The main error sources for the orbit prediction of the Low Earth Orbiter (LEO) satellite are solar pressure and atmosphere density.

The SRP (Solar Radiation Pressure) model has always been an issue in the dynamic GPS (Global Positioning System) orbit determination. The widely used CODE (Center for Orbit Determination in Europe) model and its variants have nine parameters to estimate the solar radiation pressure from the Sun and to absorb the remaining forces. However, these parameters show a very high correlation with each other and, therefore, only several of them are estimated at most of the IGS (International GNSS Service) analysis centers. In this study, we attempted to numerically verify the correlation between the parameters. For this purpose, a bi-directional, multi-step numerical integrator was developed. The correlation between the SRP parameters was analyzed in terms of post-fit residuals of the orbit. The integrated orbit was fitted to the IGS final orbit as external observations. On top of the parametric analysis of the SRP parameters, we also verified the capabilities of orbit prediction at later time epochs. As a secondary criterion for orbit quality, the positional discontinuity of the daily arcs was also analyzed. The resulting post-fit RMSE (Root-Mean-Squared Error) shows a level of 4.8 mm on average and there is no significant difference between block types. Since the once-per-revolution parameters in the Y-axis are highly correlated with those in the B-axis, the periodic terms in the D- and Y-axis are constrained to zero in order to resolve the correlations. The 6-hr predicted orbit based on the previous day yields about 3 cm or less compared to the IGS final orbit for a week, and reaches up to 6 cm for 24 hours (except for one day). The mean positional discontinuity at the boundary of two 1-day arcs is on the level of 1.4 cm for all non-eclipsing satellites. The developed orbit integrator shows a high performance in statistics of RMSE and positional discontinuity, as well as the separations of the dynamic parameters. In further research, additional verification of the reference frame for the estimated orbit using SLR is necessary to confirm the consistency of the orbit frames.

Sea Surface Salinity (SSS) observations from the Aquarius satellite in the East Sea show large systematic biases mainly caused by the surrounding lands and Radio Frequency Interferences (RFI) along the descending orbits on which the satellite travels from the Asian continent to the East Sea. To develop a technique for correcting the systematic biases unique to the East Sea, the least square regression between in situ observations of salinity and the reanalyzed salinities by HYCOM is first performed. Then monthly mean reanalyzed salinities fitted to the in situ salinities are compared with monthly mean Aquarius salinities to calculate mean biases in $1^{\circ}{\times}1^{\circ}$ boxes. Mean biases in winter (December-March) are found to be considerably larger than those in other seasons possibly caused by the inadequate correction of surface roughness in the sea surrounded by the land, and thus the mean bias corrections are performed using two bias tables. Large negative biases are found in the area near the coast of Japan and in the areas with islands. In the northern East Sea, data sets using the ascending orbit only (SCIA) are chosen for correction because of large RFI errors on the descending orbit (SCID). Resulting mean biases between the reanalysis salinities fitted to in situ observations and the bias corrected Aquarius salinities are less than 0.2 psu in all areas. The corrected mean salinity distributions in March and September demonstrate marked improvements when compared with mean salinities from the World Ocean Atlas (WOA [2005-2012]). In September, salinity distributions based on the corrected Aquarius and on the WOA (2005-2012) show similar distributions of Changjiang Diluted Water (CDW) in the East Sea.

Korea Meteorological Administration(KMA) has issued the tropical storm(typhoon) warning or advisories when it was developed to tropical storm from tropical depression and a typhoon is expected to influence the Korean peninsula and adjacent seas. Typhoon information includes current typhoon position and intensity. KMA has used the Dvorak Technique to analyze the center of typhoon and it's intensity by using available geostationary satellites' images such as GMS, GOES-9 and MTSAT-1R since 2001. The Dvorak technique is so subjective that the analysis results could be variable according to analysts. To reduce the subjective errors, QuikSCAT seawind data have been used with various analysis data including sea surface temperature from geostationary meteorological satellites, polar orbit satellites, and other observation data. On the other hand, there is an advantage of using the Subjective Dvorak Technique(SDT). SDT can get information about intensity and center of typhoon by using only infrared images of geostationary meteorology satellites. However, there has been a limitation to use the SDT on operational purpose because of lack of observation and information from polar orbit satellites such as SSM/I. Therefore, KMA has established Advanced Objective Dvorak Technique(AODT) system developed by UW/CIMSS(University of Wisconsin-Madison/Cooperative Institude for Meteorological Satellite Studies) to improve current typhoon analysis technique, and the performance has been tested since 2005. We have developed statistical relationships to correct AODT CI numbers according to the SDT CI numbers that have been presumed as truths of typhoons occurred in northwestern pacific ocean by using linear, nonlinear regressions, and neural network principal component analysis. In conclusion, the neural network nonlinear principal component analysis has fitted best to the SDT, and shown Root Mean Square Error(RMSE) 0.42 and coefficient of determination($R^2$) 0.91 by using MTSAT-1R satellite images of 2005. KMA has operated typhoon intensity analysis using SDT and AODT since 2006 and keep trying to correct CI numbers.

We present our observational attempts to precisely measure the central mass of a proto-brown dwarf candidate, L328-IRS, in order to investigate whether L328-IRS is in the substellar mass regime. Observations were made for the central region of L328-IRS with the dust continuum and CO isotopologue line emission at ALMA band 6, discovering the detailed outflow activities and a deconvolved disk structure of a size of ${\sim}87AU{\times}{\sim}37AU$. We investigated the rotational velocities as a function of the disk radius, finding that its motions between 130 AU and 60 AU are partially fitted with a Keplerian orbit by a stellar object of ${\sim}0.30M_{\odot}$, while the motions within 60 AU do not follow any Keplerian orbit at all. This makes it difficult to lead a reliable estimation of the mass of L328-IRS. Nonetheless, our ALMA observations were useful enough to well constrain the inclination angle of the outflow cavity of L328-IRS as ${\sim}66^{\circ}$ degree, enabling us to better determine the mass accretion rate of ${\sim}8.9{\times}10^{-7}M_{\odot}yr-1$.From assumptions that the internal luminosity of L328-IRS is mostly due to this mass accretion process in the disk, or that L328-IRS has mostly accumulated the mass through this constant accretion rate during its outflow activity, its mass was estimated to be ${\sim}0.012-0.023M_{\odot}$, suggesting L328-IRS to be a substellar object. However, we leave our identification of L328-IRS as a proto-brown dwarf to be tentative because of various uncertainties especially regarding the mass accretion rate.

인공위성을 포함한 우주물체가 지구궤도로 재진입하고 대기권에서 소실되거나, 지표면에 추락하는 일들이 날로 증가하고 있다. 최근 국내에서도 위성추락상황실을 운영하여 인공위성의 추락고도 및 추락시기에 대한 예측을 실시하였다. 아직까지 국내에서는 우주물체의 추락 시 현업에 적용할 수 있는, 미전략사령부에서 발표하는 TLE 자료를 활용한 독자적인 추락예측모델이 없으며, 다른 위성 운영국에서 발표하는 추락 예상시기를 참고하였다. 이 연구에서는 TLE 자료에 대기모델을 바탕으로 추락예상시기를 예측하고, 분석한 결과를 종합 분석하였고, 위성추락상황실 운영간 적용했던 RUBBER SHEET SHIFT METHOD(RSSM)의 인공위성 예상추락시기 예측결과를 토대로 새로운 추락모델에 대한 예시를 제안하였다.

근접촉쌍성 XZ CMi의 BV 측광관측을 수행하여 새로운 광도곡선과 총 7개의 극심시각을 획득하였다. 관측한 극심시각과 지금까지 발표된 극심시각을 수집하여 XZ CMi의 궤도 공전주기를 분석한 결과, 이 쌍성계의 공전주기가 지난 70년간 영년 주기감소와 더불어 규칙적으로 변화함을 확인하였다. 규칙적인 변화를 제3천체에 의한 광시간 효과로 가정하여 0.0056일의 진폭, 약 29년의 주기, 그리고 0.71의 궤도이심율의 광시간 궤도를 결정하였다. 관측된 영년 주기감소($-5.26{\times}10^{-11}d/P$)를 자기제동 항성풍의 각운동량 손실에 의한 주기감소($-8.20{\times}10^{-11}d/P$)와 질량이 작은 반성에서 주성으로 질량 이동에 의한 주기 증가($2.94{\times}10^{-11}d/P$)가 동시에 일어나는 것으로 해석하였다. 이런 관점에서 AML에 의한 주기감소율은 질량 이동에 의한 공전주기 증가율보다 그 크기가 약 3배 정도 크며, 반성에서 년간 $3.21{\times}10^{-8}M_{\odot}$의 질량이 주성으로 이동된다. 관측된 BV 광도곡선을 최근의 Wilson & Devinney 쌍성코드로 주성의 온도를 달리하는 두가지 모형(8200K와 7000K)을 상정하여 분석하였다. 두가지 모형 해 모두 XZ CMi가 반성이 로쉬 로브를 채웠으나, 주성은 아직 로쉬 로브를 채우지 않은 근접촉 쌍성임과 약 15-17%의 제3광도가 이 계에 있음을 보여준다. 그러나, 제3광도를 내는 천체가 주기연구에서 제안한 제3천체와 동일 천체가 아닌 것은 확실하다. 두 모형의 $\sum(O-C)^2$의 차이는 너무 미미하여, 현 시점에서 어느 해가 더 관측치를 잘 맞추는 지를 가릴 수는 없었다. 그간 연구자간에 불일치하였던 질량비의 다양성 문제는 아직도 풀리지 않는 숙제로 남아있다. 이를 해결하기 위해서 분광시선속도곡선과 스펙트럼의 관측과 더불어 정밀 측광관측이 필요하다.
