본 논문에서는 한국우주전파관측망의 성능 확장을 위해 광대역 관측시스템의 시험 및 결과에 대해 소개한다. KVN은 1024Mbps 속도로 VLBI 관측을 수행하는데, 4주파수 동시관측을 위한 8192Mbps 관측은 정규 운영을 위해 시험하고 있다. 세계 여러 VLBI 관측국에서는 높은 정밀도와 고분해능의 천체를 관측하기 위해 광대역 관측시스템을 독자적으로 개발하거나 여러 나라와 협력하고 있다. KVN은 K/Q//W/D 밴드의 RF 신호를 주파수 변환을 하지 않고 한 주파수 대역에 대해 최대 2048MHz 대역폭을 직접 샘플링하는 OCTAD 고속샘플러를 도입할 계획이다. 따라서 KVN의 성능확장을 위한 사전연구로서 일본국립천문대와의 협력을 통하여 OCTAD 고속샘플러와 데이터 기록을 위한 OCTADISK2 고속기록기를 현장에 설치한 후, 광대역 관측시험을 통하여 성능을 확인하고 그 결과를 본 논문에서 고찰하고자 한다.

We have analyzed the frequency sharing in the range of 71-275 GHz, which was adopted as a main topic of the WARC-2000 at the previous conference WARC-97. Though the technology of the active services has not been fully developed in this frequncy range, the heavy usage of this technology is expected in foreseeable future. To protect the passive services from spurious and out-of-band emissions of active services, realignment of the spectrum between 71 GHz and 275 GHz is strongly required. In addition, some effort should be made to allocate special bands for the radio astronomy service.

본 논문에서는 전파천문 분야에서 특이한 전파원의 서베이 연구나, 외부은하의 스펙트럴 선 관측연구에 필요한 자기상관분광기 형태의 광-대역 전파분광기 제작에 있어서 가장 핵심적인 역할을 하는 상관기 보드를 설계, 제작하였다. 본 연구에서는 미국 국립천문대(NRAO)에서 개발된 QUAINT 상관기 칩을 사용하여 최대 100 ㎒의 동작 속도로 최대 400 ㎒ 대역폭을 갖는 중간주파수 신호를 분광할 수 있는 상관기 보드를 설계, 제작하였다. 제작된 상관기 보드의 성능시험을 위해 1.67 ㎒와 0.5 ㎒의 구형파를 인가하여 자기상관계수를 구하고, FFT를 취한 결과 이론적인 상관결과와 거의 같은 결과를 얻었다.

Nearly simultaneous observations for $^{28}SiO$ v=0, 1, 2, J =3-2 transitions in 39 late-type stars have been carried out in February 1995 and 1996 with the 14 m radio telescope at Taeduk Radio Astronomy Observatory (TRAO). Observations for $^{28}SiO$ v=0, 1, 2, J=2-1 lines in the same objects have been also carried out in March 1995 and March-April 1996. The detection rate of $^{28}SiO$ v=l, J=3-2 line for the $^{28}SiO$ v=l, J=2-1 sources was $59\%$. Seventeen new detections in the $^{28}SiO$ v=l, J=3-2 transition and 4 new detections in the $^{28}SiO$ v=2, J=3-2 transition have been reported including the intensity ratios within the vibrational ladders and rotational states.

Feedback from accreting BH (AGN) is thought to be responsible for the co-evolution of BHs and galaxies. It is likely to be prominent in the most luminous dust-obscured quasars, particularly those containing radio sources too luminous to be powered by starbursts. In order to investigate the feedback mechanism in detail, we select a unique sample containing ~ 200 of the most luminous obscured QSOs by cross-matching the WISE catalog with the FIRST and NVSS radio surveys. We present overall statistics for the observed range of colors and radio/mid-IR flux density ratio. We also present our efforts to understand the physical and evolutionary nature of these extreme feedback candidates using various telescopes such as Magellan, SOAR, Herschel, and ALMA.

Radio astronomy, on its part, requires 'quiet zones' to be able to receive incoming cosmic signals unaffected by interference to enable astronomers and others learn about universe. The agenda item 1.16 of WRC-2000 contains a number of issues relevant for radio astronomy, but some of them are more important than others. The preparations for WRC-2000 have reached a close-to-final stages, with a number of proposals to this agenda item submitted to the ITU by many countries and groups of countries, like APT, CEPT and CITEL. There is no clear preference to anyone of these proposals since their differences are only minor. However, several points remain to be solved in the APT and CITEL. Fortunately, the preparation went very well, and consensus was reached on allocations above 71 GHz and three resolutions. The radio astronomy has obtained about 100 GHz of new spectrum allocations in bands above 71 GHz. In addition, a new resolution was approved by plenary meeting of WRC-2000. It deals with the consideration by a future WRC of sharing and compatibility issues between passive and active services in adjacent bands particularly with the space services (downlinks) into radio astronomy above 71 GHz. Therefore, in future, there should be a need for studies to be made to determine if and under what conditions sharing is possible, given that modifications were made on the basis of requirements known now and that little was known of requirements and implementation plans for active services in bands above 71 GHz.

Although the link between activity in the nuclei of galaxy and galactic mergers has been under scrutiny for several years, it is still unclear to what extent and for which populations of active galaxies merger-triggered activity is relevant. The environment of AGN allows an indirect probe of the past merger history and future merger probability of these systems, suffering less from sensitivity issues while extending to higher redshifts, compared to traditional morphological studies of AGN host galaxies. Here we present results from our investigation of the environment of radio selected sources out to redshift z=2. We employ the first data release J-band catalog from the new near-IR Infrared Medium-Deep Survey (IMS) and 1.4 GHz radio data from the Faint Images of the Radio Sky at Twenty-cm (FIRST) survey and a deep dedicated VLA survey of the VIMOS field, covering a combined total of ~20 sq. degrees. Given the flux limit of the combined radio catalog (0.1 mJy), we probe a radio luminosity range of 10^36-10^44 erg/s. Using the second and fifth closest neighbor density parameters, we test whether active galaxies inhabit denser environments and study these overdensities in terms of both distance to the AGN and its luminosity. We find evidence for a sub-population of radio-selected AGN that resides in significantly overdense environments at small scales, although we do not find significant overdensities for the bulk of our sample. We do not recover any dependence between the AGN radio-luminosity and overdensities. We show that radio-AGN inhabiting the most underdense environments in the field have vigorous ongoing star formation. We interpret these results in terms of the triggering and fuelling mechanism of radio-AGN.

Since the farside of the moon is a place to avoid artificial radio frequency interference (RFI) created by human civilization, it is a most suitable place for searching technosignature, which are signs of technological civilization in the universe, in the radio band. The RFI is a factor that makes the study of searching technosignature quite complicated because it is difficult to distinguish between technological signals produced by human and extraterrestrial civilizations. In this paper, we review why the farside of the moon is the best place to detect technosignature and also introduce radio observatories on the farside of the moon that have been proposed in radio astronomy. The SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) project on the farside of the moon is expected to be one of the main candidates for international collaboration research topics on lunar surface observatory.
