Images taken with the Chandra X-ray telescope have for the the first time revealed the central, wind-driven, hot bubble (Chu et al. 2001), while Hubble Space Telescope (HST) WFPC2 images of the Cat's Eye nebula, NGC 6543, show that the temperature of the halo region of angular radius ~ 20", is much higher than that of the inner bright H II region. With the coupling of a photoionization calculation to a hydrodynamic simulation, we predict the observed 〔O III〕 line intensities of the halo region with the same O abundance as in the core H II region: oxygen abundance gradient does not appear to exist in the NGC 6543 inner halo. An interaction between a (leaky) fast stellar wind and halo gas may cause the higher excitation temperatures in the halo region and the inner hot bubble region observed with the Chandra X-ray telescope.

We study a role of the proto-accretion disk during the formation of the planetary system, which is motivated with recent X-ray observations. There is an observational correlation of the mass of extrasolar planets with their orbital period, which also shows the minimum orbital period. This is insufficiently accounted for by the selection effect alone. Besides, most of planetary formation theories predict the lower limit of semimajor axes of the planetary orbits around 0.01 AU. While the migration theory involving the accretion disk is the most favorable theory, it causes too fast migration and requires the braking mechanism to halt the planet~0.01 AU. The induced gap in the accretion disk due to the planet and/or the truncated disk are desperately required to stop the planet. We explore the planetary evaporation in the accretion disk as another possible scenario to explain the observational lack of massive close-in planets. We calculate the location where the planet is evaporated when the mass and the radius of the planet are given, and find that the evaporation location is approximately proportional to the mass of the planet as
${m_p}^{-1.3}$ and the radius of the planet as${r_p}^{1.3}$ . Therefore, we conclude that even the standard cool accretion disk becomes marginally hot to make the small planet evaporate at~0.01 AU. We discuss other auxiliary mechanisms which may provide the accretion disk with extra heats other than the viscous friction, which may consequently make a larger planet evaporate. -

2000년 11월부터 2001년 5월까지 총 16일간 맥동 식쌍성 Y Carn을 소백산천문대의 61cm 망원경에 부착된 단일 V 필터로 CCD 측광을 수행하였다. 새롭게 얻은 V 광도곡선과 Broglia & Marin(1974)의 BV 광도곡선을 Wilson-Devinney 방법의 Mode 2(분리형)와 Mode 5(준분리형)으로 분석하였다. 분석 결과는 다음과 같다. 1) 광도곡선 분석만으로는 분리헝과 준분리형의 Roche 모형 중 어느 것이 Y Cam의 진실한 Roche 모형인가를 가려낼 수가 없다. 2) Y Cam의 B광도곡선에는 삼체의 광도가 약 2%, V광도곡선에는 약 3% 존재한다. 3) Y Cam의 주성에서 발생하는 맥동에 의한 밝기 변화는 광도곡선 해에 거의 영향을 주지 않으나, 맥동을 고려하였을 경우 분리형 모델이 준분리형 모델보다 약간 더 관측치를 잘 맞춘다. 4) 분리형과 준분리형 각각에 대해 Y Cam의 절대물리량을 계산하였다. -

NORAD Two Line Elements (TLE) are widely used for the increasing number of small satellite mission operations and analysis. However, due to the irregular periodicity of generation of the NORAD TLE, a new TLE that is independent of NORAD is required. A TLE type Orbit Determination (TLEOD) has been developed for the generation of a new TLE. Thus, the TLEOD system can provide an Antenna Control Unit (ACU) with the orbit determination result in the type of a TLE, which provides a simple interface for the commercialized ACU system. For the TLEOD system, NORAD SGP4 was used to make a new orbit determination system. In addition, a least squares method was implemented for the TLEOD system with the GPS navigation solutions of the KOMPSAT-1. Considering both the Orbit Propagation (OP) difference and the tendency of$B^{*}$ value, the preferable span of the day in the observation data was selected to be 3 days. Through the OD with 3 days observation data, the OP difference was derived and compared with that of Mission Analysis and Planning (MAPS) for the KOMPSAT-1. It has the extent from 2 km after sit days to 4 km after seven days. This is qualified enough for the efficiency of an ACU in image reception and processing center of the KOMPSAT-2. -
인공위성 추진시스템의 액체연료(Hydrazine) 비정상유동 해석을 통해 연료공급 시스템내 유압특성이 유도된다. 정상상태 연소의 경우 연료유동량은 일정하나, 추력기밸브가 갑자기 닫히면 배관내 압력은 초기 탱크압력보다 높아진다. 결국 배관내 유압은 비정상상태가 되며, 유압 및 유량은 맥동현상을 보인다. 만약 상승압력이 너무 크게 되면, 추진제(연료)가 폭발분해를 일으키며, 추력기밸브 기능에 손상을 입힐 수 있고, 하이드라진 연료의 초음속 연소현상이 발생할 가능성이 있다. 또한 반사된 충격파로 인해 압력변환기의 감도저하 및 오작동을 유발하기도 한다. 위성의 추진시스템 설계시 비정상연료의 해석이 선행되어야 하며, 본 논문에서는 여러 설계인자에 대한 연료배관내 유압특성을 MOC 유동해석을 통해 제시하였다.

This paper describes EGSE design for the small satellite such like KOMPSAT-2 satellite. Recent design trend of small satellite and EGSE is to take short development time and less cost. For this purpose, the design for KOMPSAT-2 satellite and EGSE are not much modified from KOMPSAT-1 heritage. It means that it is able to be accommodated the verified hardware and software modules used in KOMPSAT-1 satellite program if possible. The objective of EGSE is to provide hardware and software for efficient electrical testing of integrated KOMPSAT-2 satellite in three general categories. (1) Simulators for ground testing (e.g. solar-simulation power, earth scenes, horizons and sun sensor). (2) Ground station type satellite data acquisition and processing test sets. (3) Overall control of satellite using hardline datum. In KOMPSAT (KOrea Multi-Purpose SATellite) program, KOMPSAT-2 EGSE was developed to support satellite integration and test activities. The KOMPSAT-2 EGSE was designed in parallel with satellite design. Consequently, the KOMPSAT-2 EGSE was based on the KOMPSAT-1 heritage since the spacecraft design followed the heritage. The KOMPSAT-2 baseline was elaborated by taking advantage of experience from KOMPSAT-1 program. The EGSE of KOMPSAT-2 design concept is generic modular design with preference in part selection with commercial off-the-shelf which were proven from KOMPSAT-1 programs, flexible/user friendly operational environment (graphical interface preferred), minimized new design and self test capability. -
Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) has been used for mapping the surface geomorphology of cloudy planets like Venus as well as the Earth. The cloud-free Mars is also going to be scanned by SAR in order to detect buried water channels and other features under the very shallow subsurface af the ground. According to the 'Mid and Long-term National Space Development Plan' of Korea, SAR satellites, in addition to the EO (Electro-Optical) satellites, are supposed to be developed in the frame of the KOMPSAT (Korean Multi-Purpose Satellite) program. Feasibility of utilizing a SAR payload on KOMPSAT platform has been studied by KARI in collaboration with Astrium U.K. The purpose of the ShR program is Scientific and Civil applications on the Earth. The study showed that KOMPSAT-2 platform can accommodate a small SAR like Astrium’s MicroSAR. In this paper, system aspects of the satellite design are presented, such as mission scenario, operation concept, and capabilities. The spacecraft design is also discussed and conclusion is followed.
