  • 본 논문은 위성의 자세정보를 획득하는 센서로서 과학기술위성2호에 장착하기 위해 개발 중인 이중 머리 별 추적기를 소개한다. 대부분의 별 센서는 위성의 한쪽 방향만 지향하기 때문에 태양 및 지구 영역으로 지향할 경우 별 인식이 불가능하다. 그래서 시스템은 두개의 카메라를 직각의 방향으로 지향하여 동시에 두개의 영상을 입력 받고 하나의 영상에서 별 인식을 실패할 경우 다른 영상에서 별 인식을 수행하여 별 인식률을 높이도록 구현하였다. 논문에서는 이중머리 별 추적기의 시험모델을 소개하고 별 인식 및 별 추적 알고리즘을 제안하였다.

  • We present results of a new high-resolution spectroscopic study of the RS CVn-type binary system EI Eridani (HD26337). We used high S/N ratio LSD profiles to measure a new RV orbit of the primary component and new orbital parameters. We found evidence of strong spectral line profile variations at time intervals indicating the existence of short-lived (few days) spots on the surface of the primary component. We measured a projected rotation velocity of star of 53.2 km/s.

  • We obtain the first complete CCD light curves (LCs) of the contact binary AP UMi in the VRI bands and analyzed them by means of the PHOEBE code. A spotted model is applied to treat the asymmetry in the LCs. The LC morphology clearly shows the O'Connell effect and the solution shows an influence of star spots on both components. Such effect of star spots is common between the RS CVn and W UMa chromospherically active stars. Based on the obtained solution of the LCs we investigate the evolutionary state of the components and conclude that the system is a pre-intermediate contact binary (f = 0.29) with mass ratio q = 0.38, and it is an A-type W UMa system where the less massive secondary component is cooler than the more massive primary one.

  • Magnetostatic models of starspots of late type main sequence stars$(G5V\~K5V)$ have been constructed to investigate their physical characteristics by using the similarity law suggested by Schluter and Temesvary(1958) and later employed by Deinzer(1965) and Yun(1968). The starspots are assumed to be single, circular and in horizontal magnetostatic equilibrium. In the present study we considered only those model spots whose area covers less than $12\%$ of the entire stellar surface as suggested by observations. The computed surface field strength of our model spots ranges from $10^3$\;to\;several\;10^3$ gauss and their magnetic flux is found to be $10\~100$ times that of sunspots. The field strength is sensitive to spectral type, which increases with later spectral type. In contrast to the field strength, the area of starspots depends strongly on the total magnetic flux. Finally, it is noted that the computed field strength of model spots belonging to $G0V\~G5V$ falls below the equipartition field strength at their parent stellar surface unless the coverage is less than $2\%$. This suggests that the observed spot on $G0V\~G5V$ stars is likely to be a group of small starspots.

  • Koh Chang Island is located near the east border of Thailand. The government of Thailand promotes the island as a model of eco-tourism spots. The Island undeveloped until recent years, is expected to change to major tourist attraction. 'Digital Koh Chang project' has thus. The main objective of this project is to monitor the environment and land use status of the island and to support its sound development. In March 2003, a field survey of this project was planned and field data were collected using both airborne and ground platforms and an ocean vessel. These data were combined with satellite data in the laboratory. This presentation is all balloon-born system field operation. A 5-meter length balloon filled with Helium gas was used, whose payload consisted of two RGB standard color digital still cameras, two directional rotating servo motors, a camera mount cradle as well as signal transmitting and receiving components. A series of aerial high-resolution digital images were rather easily obtained using this inexpensive system, making it possible to monitor intended landscape features in a specific field. Design of simple, low-cost and easily transportable flying platforms and local field surveys using them are useful for getting local ground truth data to calibrate satellite or airborne-based RS data. The design analysis to upgrade the system is further investigated.

  • RS Cvn형 4상성 SZ Psc의 광도곡선에 나타난 뒤틀림 현상을 규명하기 위하여 자외선 영역의 방출선과 가시광선 영역의 광도곡선을 분석하였다. 자외선 영역에서 IUE 고분산 분광선 중에서 MgII 방출선의 강도를 조사하여, 채충 활동은 주로 Kl IV 별에서 일어나고 있는 것을 확인하였다. 한편, 가시광선 영역에서 나타난 광도 곡선의 뒤틀림 현상은 Kl IV별에 혹점이 존재하는 혹점 모델을 이용하여 분석한 결과 SZ Psc의 뒤틀린 광도 곡선을 잘 설명할 수 있었다. 그 결과 SZ Psc에 대한 완전한 측광학적인 해를 최초로 제시하였다.

  • The photometric light curves of the W-type W UMa eclipsing contact binary system BB Pegasi have been found to be extremely asymmetric over all the observed 63 years in all wavelengths UBVR. The light curves have been characterized by occultation primary minima. Hence, the morphology of these light curves has been studied in view of these different asymmetric degrees. The system shows a distinct O'Connell effect, as well as depth variation. A 22.96 years of stellar dark spots cycle has been determined for the system. Almost the same cycle (22.78 yr) has been found for the depth variation of MinI and MinII. We also present an analysis of mid-eclipse time measurements of BB Peg. The analysis indicates a period decrement of $5.62{\times}10^{-8}$ day/yr, which can be interpreted in terms of mass transfer at a rate of $-4.38{\times}10^{-8}M_{\odot}$/yr, from the more to the less massive component. The O - C diagram shows a damping sine wave covering two different cycles of 17.0 yr and 12.87 yr with amplitudes equal to 0.0071 and 0.0013 day, respectively. These unequal durations show a non-periodicity which may be explained as a result of magnetic activity cycling variations due to star spots. The obtained characteristics are consistent with similar chromospherically active stars, when applying the Applegate's (1992) mechanism.

  • We present the results of new CCD photometry for the contact binary BX Peg, made during three successive months beginning on September 2008. As do historical light curves, our observations display an O'Connell effect and the November data by themselves indicate clear evidence for very short-time brightness disturbance. For these variations, model spots are applied separately to the two data set of Group I (Sep.--Oct.) and Group II (Nov.). The former is described by a single cool spot on the secondary photosphere and the latter by a two-spot model with a cool spot on the cool star and a hot one on either star. These are generalized manifestations of the magnetic activity of the binary system. Twenty light-curve timings calculated from Wilson-Devinney code were used for a period study, together with all other minimum epochs. The complex period changes of BX Peg can be sorted into a secular period decrease caused dominantly by angular momentum loss due to magnetic stellar wind braking, a light-travel-time (LTT) effect due to the gravitational effect of a low-mass third companion, and a previously unknown short-term oscillation. This last period modulation could be produced either by a second LTT orbit with a period of about 16 yr due to the existence of a fourth body or by the effect of magnetic activity with a cycle length of about 12 yr.

  • We present the results of simultaneous observations of SiO v=1 and 2, J=1-0 maser lines which were carried out with the combined network of the KVN and VERA in 2012 April. The observations were performed toward a long period OH/IR star, WX Psc in order to test the technical and scientific feasibilities of the KVN+VERA combination. The resultant (u, v) coverage of the KVN+VERA combined array enhances the image quality. We confirmed that the distribution and intensity of individual maser spots using the combined network are more reliable compared with the images using the KVN or VERA only. This observation also provides a chance to find a high sensitivity and imaging quality which are comparable to those of VLBA. In addition, the simultaneous observations of two SiO v=1 and 2, J=1-0 maser lines enable us to trace the detail physical environments close to the central star due to different high excitation conditions between two lines at a time.

  • 블랙홀 쌍성계는 10 $M_{\odot}$ 정도의 블랙홀과 K또는 분광형을 갖는 만기형 항성의 쌍성계로 10여 개가 보고되어 있다. 블랙홀의 동반성은 Roche lobe를 태우기 때문에, 궤도 위상에 따라서 이들의 밝기가 달라져서, 타원체형 광도 곡선을 나타내는 것으로 알려져 있다. 이들 쌍성계의 광도 곡선에서 최대 밝기 위상에서 수퍼센트 정도의 비대칭성이 보고되었으며, 이 현상은 흔히 항성 흑점 모형 또는 hot impact point모형을 사용하여 설명되고 있다 이 논문에서는 블랙홀 쌍성계의 공전 속도가 대략 400 km $s^{-1}$일 때에 Doppler 효과에 의 한 흑체의 온도 차이는 $DeltaT/T$ ~ 1/400에 이르며, 이에 의한 광도의 차이가 관측된 비대칭성에 충분히 크게 영향을 줄 수 있음을 지적한다. 따라서, 광도 곡선의 해석에서 특수 상대론적 효과가 고려될 때에, 단순히 계산된 항성 흑점 혹은 hot impact point의 온도와 규모에 중대한 수정이 필요할 것으로 예상된다.
