1983년 초 세 부분-COSMOS 1402-A, B, C-으로 분리되어 추락한 소련 위성 COSMOS 1402호의 낙하를 추정하기 위한 알골이즘을 개발하였다. 이 인공위성의 궤도에 영향을 미치는 섭동력으로는 지구의 비대칭 중력포텐셜과 지구의 대기 저항에 의한 섭동력이 고려되었고, 고도에 따른 지구의 대기 밀도를 구하기 위해 표준대기모델을 만들었다. COSMOS 1402호의 낙하시 NASA GSFC가 보내온 궤도요소 자료를 이용하여 COSMOS 1402-A와 C의 낙하시각과 낙하지점을 추정하고, 미국무성의 발표와 비교해 보았다. COSMOS 1402-C의 경우 모두 잘 일치함을 보이나 COSMOS 1402-A 의 경우 낙하시각이 1분, 낙하지점은 경위도 각각 2도씩의 오차를 보였다.

Tidal disruption events (TDEs) provide evidence for quiescent supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in the centers of inactive galaxies. TDEs occur when a star on a parabolic orbit approaches close enough to a SMBH to be disrupted by the tidal force of the SMBH. The subsequent super-Eddington accretion of stellar debris falling back to the SMBH produces a characteristic flare lasting several months. It is theoretically expected that the bolometric light curve decays with time as proportional to $t^{-5/3}$. However, some of the observed X-ray light curves deviate from the $t^{-5/3}$ decay rate, while some of them are overall in good agreement with the $t^{-5/3}$ law. Therefore, it is required to construct the theoretical model for explaining these light curve variations consistently. In this paper, we revisit the mass fallback rates semi-analytically by taking account of the stellar internal structure, orbital eccentricity and penetration factor. We find that the mass fallback rate is shallower than the standard $t^{-5/3}$ decay rate independently of the polytropic index, and the orbital eccentricity only changes the magnitude of the mass fallback rate. Furthermore, the penetration factor significantly can modify the magnitude and variation of mass fallback rate. We confirm these results by performing the computational hydrodynamic simulations. We also discuss the relevance of our model by comparing these results with the observed light curves.

We use three-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations to investigate nonlinear gravitational responses of gas to, and the resulting drag force on, a massive perturber moving on a circular orbit through a uniform gaseous medium. We assume that the background medium is non-rotating and adiabatic with index 5/3, and represent the perturber using a Plummer potential with softening radius a. This work extends our previous study where we showed that the drag force on a straight-line trajectory is proportional to a0.45 if the perturber is massive enough. This indicates that the orbital decay of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) near galaxy centers may take much longer than the prediction of the linear force formula applicable for low-mass perturbers. For the circular orbits are considered, however, we find that the nonlinear drag force becomes independent of a, but dependent instead on the orbital radius R as $\varpropto$ R0.5. This suggests not only that the choices of large values of a, for resolution issues, in recent numerical experiments for mergers of SMBH, are marginally acceptable, but also that the gaseous drag indeed provides an efficient mean for the orbtial decay of SMBHs.

지구대기에 의해서 태양동기위성의 고도가 감소될 때 초기 궤도경사각에 따른 승교점 통과시각의 변화를 분석하였다. 이를 위해 고도 500km인 위성에 대해서 3년간 궤도예측 연구를 수행하였으며 초기 승교점 통과시각은 06시, 09시, 12시, 15시, 그리고 18시로 하였다. 위성의 고도 감소와 초기 승교점 통과시각에 따라서 각각 다른 궤도경사각의 변화를 얻을 수 있었으며 승교점 통과시각 역시 달라짐을 알 수 있었다. 이를 이용하면 궤도조정을 위한 추력기가 탑재되지 않은 태양동기위성에 있어서 임무기간 동안 승교점 통과시각의 변화를 최소로 하는 초기 궤도요소를 산출할 수 있다.

Dynamical friction plays an important role in reducing angular momenta of objects in orbital motions. While astronomical objects usually follow curvilinear orbits, most previous studies focused on the linear-trajectory cases. Here, we present the gravitational wake due to, and dynamical friction on, a perturber moving on a circular orbit in a uniform gaseous medium using a semi-analytic method. The circular orbit causes the density wakes to bend along the orbit into asymmetric configurations, resulting in the drag forces in both opposite (azimuthal) and lateral (radial) directions to the perturber motion, although the latter does not contribute to the orbital decay much. For a subsonic perturber, the bending of a wake is only modest and the resulting drag force in the opposite direction is remarkably similar to the linear-trajectory counterpart. On the other hand, a supersonic perturber is able to overtake its own wake, possibly multiple times, creating a high-density trailing tail. Despite the dramatic changes in the wake morphologies, the azimuthal drag force is in surprisingly good agreement with the formulae of Ostriker for the linear-trajectory cases, provided $V_pt=2R_p,\;where\;V_p\;and\;R_p$ are the velocity and orbital radius of the perturber, respectively.

The energy relaxation dynamics of the lowest excited singlet and triplet states of the Zn(II)porphyrin monomer and its directly linked arrays were comparatively investigated with increasing the number of porphyrin moieties. While the fluorescence decay rates and quantum yields of the porphyrin arrays increased with the increase of porphyrin units, their triplet-triplet (T-T) absorption spectra and decay times remained almost the same. The difference in the trends of energy relaxation dynamics between the excited singlet and triplet states has been discussed in view of the electronic orbital configurations.

This paper presents a comprehensive analytical approach for determining key maneuver parameters associated with the acquisition and maintenance of the ground track for a low-earth orbit. A livearized model relating changes in the drift rate of the ground track directly to changes in the orbital semi-major axis is also developed. The effect of terrestrial atmospheric drag on the semi-major axis is also explored, being quantified through an analytical expression for the decay rate as a function of density. The non-singular Lagrange planetary equations, further simplified for nearly circular orbits, provide the desired relationships between the corrective in-plane impulsive velocity increments and the corresponding effects on the orbit elements. The resulting solution strategy offers excellent insight into the dynamics affecting the timing, magnitude, and frequency of these maneuvers. Simulations are executed for the ground track acquisition and maintenance maneuver as a pre-flight planning and analysis.

The photophysical properties and the singlet oxygen generation efficiencies of meso-tetraphenyl-trithiasapphyrin $(S_3TPS)$ and meso-tetmkis(p-methoxy phenyl)-trithiasapphy rin ((p-MeO)-$S_3TPS$) have been investigated, utilizing steady-state and time-resolved spectroscopic methods to elucidate the possibility of their use as photosensitizers for photodynamic therapy (PDT). The observed photophysical properties were compared with those of other porphyrin-like photosensitizers in geometrical and electronic structural aspects, such as extended ${\pi}$ conjugation, structural distortion, and internal heavy atoms. The steady-state electronic absorption and fluorescence spectra were both red-shifted due to the extended ${\pi}$-conjugation. The fluorescence quantum yields were measured as very small. Even though intersystem crossing rates were expected to increase due to the increment of spin orbital coupling, the triplet quantum yields were measured as less than 0.15. Such characteristics can be ascribed to the more enhanced internal conversion rates compared with the intersystem crossing rates. Furthermore, the triplet state lifetimes were shortened to -1.0 ${\mu}s$ as expected. Therefore, the singlet oxygen quantum yields were estimated to be near zero due to the fast triplet state decay rates and the inefficient energy transfer to the oxygen molecule as well as the low triplet quantum yields. The low efficiencies of energy transfer to the oxygen molecule can be attributed to the lower oxidation potential and/or the energetically low lying triplet state. Such photophysical factors should be carefully evaluated as potential photosensitizers that have extended ${\pi}$-conjugation and heavy core atoms synthesized for red-shifted absorption and high triplet state quantum yields.

유기광도전체에 있어서의 액정은 종래의 분자 배향성을 가지지 않는 비정성 고체계와는 달리 분자 배향성을 가지기 때문에 분자 사이의 질서도가 높아지게 되고, charge-carrier의 hopping을 방해하는 hopping site의 공간적인 틈이 작아져 고 이동도의 특성을 가질수 있다. 본 연구에서는 유기광도전체의 전하 수송층에 액정5CT를 혼합하여, charge-carrier수송특성에 있어서의 액정5CT의 영향을 관찰하였다. 액정5CT를 함유한 유기광도전체는 액정의 혼합비가 증가함에 따가 초기전위는 증가하였으며, 암감쇄는 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 감도는 5CT를 TNF와 OXD 각자에 대하여 40 wt%로 혼합한 시료의 경우에 가장 우수하게 나타났다. 형광거동을 관찰한 결과, 이는 전하수송재료와 액정5CT의 전하 수송착체에 의한 것으로, 액정5CT를 TNF와 OXD 각각에 대하여 40 wt%로 혼합한 시료의 경우가 다른 시료에 비해 전하 수송착체가 가장 잘 형성되어, 성공을 잘 수송하기 때문으로 나타났다.

A new ${\pi}$-stacked donor-acceptor (D-A) system, [Ru(1-([2,2'-bipyridine]-6-yl-methyl)-3-(2-cyclohexa-2',5'-diene-1,4-dionyl)-1H-imidazole)(2,2':6',2"-terpyridine)]$[PF_6]_2$ (ImQ_T), has been synthesized and characterized. Similar to its precedent, [Ru(6-(2-cyclohexa-2',5'-diene-1,4-dione)-2,2':6',2"-terpyridine)(2,2':6',2"-terpyridine)]$[PF_6]_2$ (TQ_T), this system has a cofacial alignment of terpyridine (tpy) ligand and quinonyl (Q) group, which facilitates an electron transfer through ${\pi}$-stacked manifold. Despite the presence of lowest-energy charge transfer transition from the Ru-based-HOMO-to-Q-based-LUMO (MQCT) predicted by theoretical calculations by using time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT), the experimental steady-state absorption spectrum does not exhibit such a band. The selective excitation to the Ru-based occupied orbitals-to-tpy-based virtual orbital MLCT state was thus possible, from which charge separation (CS) reaction occurred. The photo-induced CS and thermal charge recombination (CR) reactions were probed by using ultrafast visible-pump/mid-IR-probe (TrIR) spectroscopic method. Analysis of decay kinetics of Q and $Q^-$ state CO stretching modes as well as aromatic C=C stretching mode of tpy ligand gave time constants of <1 ps for CS, 1-3 ps for CR, and 10-20 ps for vibrational cooling processes. The electron transfer pathway was revealed to be Ru-tpy-Q rather than Ru-bpy-imidazol-Q.
