We present photometric results for four new variable stars discovered in the vicinity of the ZZ Ceti-type pulsating white dwarf BR Cam. Observations were performed on 5 nights in November 2003 using the 1.8m telescope at Bohyunsan Optical Astronomy Observatory with no filter, on 3 nights in December 2003 using the 0.61m telescope at Sobaeksan Optical Astronomy Observatory with V, I filters, and on 3 nights in October 2004 using the 1.0m telescope at Mt. Lemmon Optical Astronomy Observatory with V, I filters. We estimated their periods from the phase-match technique for one eclipsing binary and the multiple frequency analysis for three pulsating stars. By considering the light curve shape, period and amplitude difference between two passbands, we classified the objects by their variability types as follows: V1 (USNO-A2.0 1425-05691757) is a W UMa-type eclipsing binary with an orbital period of $0^d.4641$; V2 (USNO-A2.0 1425-05703335) is a multi-periodic $\delta$ Set-type pulsating star with a dominant period of $0^d.0649$; V3 (USNO-A2.0 1425-05699659) is also a $\delta$ Set-type pulsating star with a period of $0^d.1408$; and V 4 (USNO-A2.0 1425-05707705) is a RR Lyr-type pulsating star with a period of $0^d.2643$.

NGC 1039 영역의 변광성 탐사로부터 7개의 ${\delta}$ Scuti형 변광성, 2개의 ${\gamma}$ Doradus형 변광성, 14개의 식쌍성 및 5개의 장지기형 불규칙 변광성을 찾았다. 이 중에서 3개를 제외한 나머지는 모두 새로 발견한 것이다. 이들 중 ${\delta}$ Scuti형 변광성 4개와 ${\gamma}$ Doradus형 변광성 2개 및 장주기형 불규칙 변광성 1개는 성단구성원일 가능성이 크다. 14개의 식쌍성 중에서 12개는 주기와 변광진폭 등을 구하였으며, 나머지 2개는 22일 관측 자료 중 하루치에서만 식 현상이 나타나서 EA형 식쌍성으로 보인다. B, V등급의 변광진폭을 같이 구한 식쌍성의 변광진폭비 $A_V/A_B$는 0.92이며, ${\delta}$ Scuti형 변광성의 결과를 이용한 0.75와 뚜렷이 구분된다. 5개의 장주기형 불규칙 변광성은 하나를 제외하고 나머지는 주기가 너무 길었고, 또한 주기성인지 알 수 없어서 밝기 변화만으로 변광성임을 알 수 있었다. 이 연구에서 찾은 변광성은 V등급이 10.84등급부터 16.30등급까지 분포하며, V등급의 변광진폭이 0.5등급 이상이면 16.3등급까지도 변광 여부를 확인할 수 있었다.

NGC 6871을 중심으로 시계열 관측한 Cyg OB3 성협영역에서 모두 15개의 단주기 변광성을 찾았다. 이들은 모두 국부나선팔에 속한 ${\delta}$ Scuti 형 변광성으로 보인다. 그림 5의 영연령주계열 상에서 밝은쪽에 속한 V1-V4는 분광형이 모두 A, F 형으로서 Cyg OB3 성협보다 먼 거리에 있는 ${\beta}$ Cephei 형 변광성이라기 보다는 국부나선팔의 앞쪽에 놓인 ${\delta}$ Scuti 형 변광성이었다. 15개의 ${\delta}$ Scuti 형 변광성 중에는 2개(V1과 V3)는 GCVS에 ${\delta}$ Scuti 형 변광성으로 분류되어 이미 알려진 변광성이고, 나머지는 모두 새로 발견한 것이다. 새로 발견한 변광성 중에는 한 개의 이중모드 ${\delta}$ Scuti 형 변광성(V3)과 2개의 HADS 변광성(V13과 V14)이 포함되었다. 시계열 관측과는 별도로 표준화 관측을 수행하여 관측 영역의 색-등급도를 얻었는데 그림 6에서 Massey etal.(1995)의 결과와 잘 맞았다.

Recent narrow-band Ca photometry discovered two distinct red giant branch (RGB) populations in some massive globular clusters (GCs) including M22, NGC 1851, and NGC 288. In order to investigate the differences in light/heavy elements abundances between the two subpopulations, we have performed low-resolution spectroscopy for stars on the two RGBs in these GCs. We find a significant difference (more than $4{\sigma}$) in calcium abundance from the spectroscopic HK' index for both M22 and NGC 1851. We also find a more than $8{\sigma}$ difference in CN band strength between the Ca-strong and Ca-weak subpopulations. For NGC 288, however, we detect the presence of a large difference only in the CN strength. The calcium abundances of the two subpopulations in this GC are identical within errors. We also find interesting differences in CN-CH relations among these GCs. While CN and CH indices are correlated in M22, they show an anti-correlation in NGC 288. However, NGC 1851 shows no difference in CH between two groups of stars having different CN strengths. The CN bimodality in these GCs could be explained by pollution from intermediate-mass asymptotic giant branch stars and/or fast-rotating massive stars. For the presence or absence of calcium bimodality and the differences in CN-CH relations, we suggest these would be best explained by how strongly type II supernovae enrichment has contributed to the chemical evolutions of these GCs.

We present the results of BV time-series photometry of the globular cluster NGC 288. Observations were carried out to search for variable stars using the Korea Microlensing Telescope Network (KMTNet) 1.6-m telescopes and a 4k pre-science CCD camera during a test observation from August to December, 2014. We found a new SX Phe star and confirmed twelve previously known variable stars in NGC 288. For the semi-regular variable star V1, we newly determined a period of 37.3 days from light curves spanning 137 days. The light-curve solution of the eclipsing binary V10 indicates that the system is probably a detached system. The pulsation properties of nine SX Phe stars were examined by applying multiple frequency analysis to their light curves. We derived a new Period-Luminosity (P-L) relation, ${\langle}M_V{\rangle}=-2.476({\pm}0.300){\log}P-0.354({\pm}0.385)$, from six SX Phe stars showing the fundamental mode. Additionally, the period ratios of three SX Phe stars that probably have a double-radial mode were investigated; $P_{FO}/P_F=0.779$ for V5, $P_{TO}/P_{FO}=0.685$ for V9, $P_{SO}/P_{FO}=0.811$ for V11. This paper is the first contribution in a series assessing the detections and properties of variable stars in six southern globular clusters with the KMTNet system.

During the last decade, there has been a dramtic paradigm shift on the definition of the globular cluster (GC) systems. The decades-long lighter elemental variation issue in GC stars is now considered to be a generic feature of normal GCs in our Galaxy, most likely engraved during the multiple-phase normal GC formation. In this talk, we will introduce the new photometric system, so-call the JWL System, to measure CN and CH abundances in multiple stellar populations in GCs. The utility and the future application of the JWL System will be discussed.

There is a growing body of evidence for the presence of multiple stellar populations in some globular clusters, including NGC 1851. For most of these peculiar globular clusters, however, the evidence for the multiple red giant-branches (RGBs) having different heavy elemental abundances as observed in $\omega$ Centauri is hitherto lacking, although spreads in some lighter elements are reported. It is therefore not clear whether they also share the suggested dwarf galaxy origin of $\omega$ Cen or not. Here we show from the CTIO 4m UVI photometry of the globular cluster NGC 1851 that its RGB is clearly split into two in the U - I color. The two distinct RGB populations are also clearly separated in the abundance of heavy elements as traced by Calcium, suggesting that the type II supernovae enrichment is also responsible, in addition to the pollutions of lighter elements by intermediate mass asymptotic giant branch stars or fast-rotating massive stars. The RGB split, however, is not shown in the V - I color, as indicated by previous observations. Our stellar population models show that this and the presence of bimodal horizontal-branch distribution in NGC 1851 can be naturally reproduced if the metal-rich second generation stars are also enhanced in helium.

We have performed new narrow-band calcium photometry for Milky Way globular clusters (GCs) and detected multiple red giant branches (RGBs) in some massive GCs. Our new calcium filter was designed to avoid the CN contamination below $3883{\AA}$ and to measure only Ca II H&K lines. The fact that we are detecting multiple RGBs from the new filter is suggesting that they are indeed different in calcium abundance, which can only be produced by supernovae (SNe). Therefore, the presence of the multiple RGBs for the peculiar GCs in the calcium photometry is best understood if the later generation of stars are enhanced in some SNe products. In this talk, we will present our progress in the calcium photometry for the peculiar GCs showing the multiple RGBs.

A new method has been developed to solve the star cluster membership problem. It is based on synthetic photometry employing the Black Body concept as stellar radiation simulator. Synthetic color-magnitude diagram is constructed showing the main sequence band and the positions of binary star systems of combinations of various components through different photometric tracks. The method has been applied to the Hyades. The cluster membership problem has been re-appraised for the cluster (both single and binary) stars. For the binary members, the components' spectral types have been derived by the method. The results obtained agree very well with those found in literature, The method is simpler than the others and can be developed to undertake other cases as multiple star systems.

Our recent investigation (Lee et al. 2015) suggests that the presence of double red clump in the Milky Way bulge is another manifestation of multiple populations observed in halo globular clusters. The origin of Helium enhancement in the 2nd generation population (G2), however, is not yet fully understood. Here we investigate the origin of this super-Helium-rich population in the framework of self-enrichment scenario. We find that chemical enrichments and pollutions by asymptotic giant branch stars and winds of massive rotating stars can naturally reproduce the observed Helium enhancement. The Helium to metal enrichment ratio appears to be ${\Delta}Y/{\Delta}Z=6$ for G2, while the standard ratio, ${\Delta}Y/{\Delta}Z=2$, is appropriate for G1, which is probably enriched mostly by typeII supernovae.
