한국천문연구원은 미국 텍사스대학교와 공동으로 근적외선 광대역 고분산 분광기 IGRINS (Immersion Grating Infrared Spectrograph)를 개발하고 있다. IGRINS는 R=40,000의 높은 분광분해능으로 H-밴드 ($1.49\sim1.80{\mu}m$)와 K-밴드 ($1.96\sim2.46{\mu}m$) 전체 분광스펙트럼을 한 번에 관측할 수 있다. IGRINS를 구성하는 핵심 부품은 실리콘 담금격자 (Silicon Immersion Grating)와 VPH (Volume Phased Holographic) 격자, 그리고 HAWAII2RG 적외선 센서이다. 실리콘 담금격자를 사용함으로써 적외선 분광기의 크기를 일반적인 격자를 사용한 것보다 2-3배정도 줄일 수 있게 되었다. IGRINS는 개발 후 미국 맥도날드 천문대에 3년간 장착하여 관측연구에 활용될 예정이다. 이후 IGRINS는 4미터급 이상의 망원경에 장착될 예정이다. 한국천문연구원은 IGRINS 국제공동 개발을 위하여 2009년 8월 텍사스 대학과 양해각서(MOU)를 교환하였으며 현재 개념 설계를 끝내고 기본 설계를 진행하고 있다. 기본설계검토 회의 (Preliminary Design Review)은 12월에 실시할 예정이다. 또한 과학연구 활용 극대화를 위하여 사용자 그룹을 조직하였으며, 여름학교를 열어 적외선 분광 연구에 대한 교육을 실시하였다. 이 발표에서는 IGRINS의 개발 현황을 보고하고, IGRINS의 설계와 활용 분야에 대하여 소개한다.

This paper aims to examine how issues related to the heaven-human relation (or nature-culture relation) affected Joseon intellectuals in the eighteenth century by considering Huang Yun Seok as a reference. As a significant indicator, the heaven-human relation issue has traditionally been a critical theme in the history of Confucianism. Since Huang Yun Seok accepted Western Learning based on Zhuxi Learning, he is a good example for examining this issue. Huang's ideas didn't depart too much from Confucianism, but he naturally became interested in Western Learning because of the enthusiastic admiration he had of Ancient Learning since he was a child. Principle-Number was consistent with Ancient Learning and Western Learning, and this was somewhat different from the original notion of numerology. It was used for understanding and explaining astronomical phenomenon. In understanding astronomical phenomenon, Huang used both fact-determined and value-centered approaches. Western astronomy allowed him to make an advance in terms of fact-determined approach while the value-centered approach gave him a portentological perspective on astronomical variation such as solar and lunar eclipses. This indicates one of the ways to keep Zhuxi Learning's identity itself amidst an inflow of new learnings.

The purpose of this study is to provide basic data on the importance of accurate scientific communication and the current status of popular astronomy based on science articles that occurred during the so-called Super Blue Moon astronomical phenomenon in August 2023. To this end, the subjects were divided into non-experts, quasi-experts, and experts based on the degree of knowledge of the astronomical universe to investigate the data interpretation ability of astronomical science information and to analyze the causes of errors in the interpretation process through in-depth interviews. We also investigated the favorability and reliability of research institutes that strive to provide scientific information and the media that strive to spread it and also investigated the changes in existing favorability and reliability when incorrect scientific information spreads, as in this case. Although there were differences in the interpretation of scientific information about the astronomical universe depending on the cognitive aspect, the influence of linguistic elements or literacy, which could be called communication, could not be ignored. In particular, it was confirmed that misconceptions inherent in the existing research subjects could be expressed, leading to errors in accurate information interpretation. In addition, after recognizing that errors were included in the spread of scientific information, the subjects' favorability toward research institutes and the media fell 12.30% and 17.58%, respectively, while reliability fell 19.40% for research institutes and 24.49% for media outlets. Regardless of the cause of the error, the importance of providing accurate scientific information is further emphasized, considering that the overall favorability and reliability of both research institutes and the media decline. In order for research institutes and media outlets to spread accurate scientific information about the astronomical universe based on the public's trust, it is necessary to establish a system that can accurately deliver error-free information generated by research institutes related to astronomical space to media or science communicators and to develop a system that quickly retrieves and corrects incorrect scientific information through continuous monitoring.

This paper aims to examine the meaning of 'Xuan(玄)' in the cosmology and astronomy, especially in the view of Yang-xiong(揚雄) and Ge-hong(葛洪). The cosmology of the ancient China has opened a discussion about the Tian(天), through the discussion about the celestial structure, the structure and the location relation of the heaven & earth, in the Han-dynasty has been found a systematic theory. But in the ancient Chinese philosophy, the cosmology has been developed in the field of the astronomy & the Oriental calendar. In this context, Yang-xiong(揚雄) and Ge-hong(葛洪) have founded the system of the cosmology, it is as in the following. First, Yang-xiong criticized sharply the theory of Gaitian(蓋天說) and advanced the theory of Huntian(渾天說). And Ge-hong support the theory of Huntian(渾天說) and also accepted the theory of Xuanye(宣夜說). Second, Yang-xiong(揚雄) and Ge-hong(葛洪)'s cosmology is regarded as the theoretical premise of their cosmogony. As the discussion about the celestial structure, the structure and the location relation of the heaven & earth, both scholar discussed about the cause of creation, the differentiation process. And in the this context, they founded the cosmology as the concept 'Xuan'. Third, the concept 'Xuan' in the both scholar forms a philosophical system. Yang-xiong insisted that the concept 'Xuan' is the basis of the universe, the human-being and the society. While through realizing the concept 'Xuan', Ge-hong tried to pursue the human-being's agelessness and the eternal life. In this way, their view point of the cosmology is comprised of cosmogony & astronomy. With this perspective, they are going to found the system of their own philosophy.

우리는 최근 현대천문학의 가장 오래된 난제로 우리은하 헤일로의 형성과 깊은 관련이 있는 구상성단계의 오스터호프 이분법이 다중항성종족 패러다임 하에서 76년 만에 완벽히 규명되는 것을 발견하였다. 또한 이 연구의 기본 개념을 우리은하 벌지에 적용한 결과, 기존 국제학계의 이론과 완전히 다른 벌지의 형성기원에 대한 새로운 해석에 도달하였다. 우리은하의 벌지에 대한 대규모 측광 서베이 분석으로부터 double red clumps가 있다는 것이 2010년에 발견되었고, 이는 디스크와 바 불안정에 기인하는 은하중심부 X-shape 구조의 증거로 널리 받아들여지고 있다. 그러나 우리는 이와 같은 국제학계의 해석이 수평계열성의 항성진화이론을 간과한데서 비롯된 허구일 가능성을 제시하고자 한다. 우리의 모델에 의하면 관측된 double red clumps는 Omega Cen을 포함하는 대다수의 구상성단에서 발견되는 것과 동일한 헬륨함량이 증가된 2세대 별들(G2)에 의한 효과이다. 우리은하 벌지에 위치한 Terzan 5 구상성단처럼, 중원소함량이 높은 벌지에서는 G2에 해당하는 수평계열성들이 광도가 약 0.5등급 더 밝은 red clump 위치에 놓이게 되어 자연스럽게 double red clumps를 형성하게 된다. 앞으로 우리의 새로운 해석이 Gaia에 의한 삼각시차 거리결정으로 확인된다면, 이는 우리은하 벌지를 이루는 대부분의 별들이 Terzan 5와 같은 윈시 빌딩블럭들의 합병과 붕괴에 의해 형성되었다는 것을 암시하여, 우리은하는 물론, 조기형은하의 형성기원 연구에 큰 전환점이 될 것으로 기대한다.

한국천문연구원은 우주측지용 레이저 추적 시스템 개발 사업 중 현재 이동형 시스템(ARGO-M) 1기를 개발 중에 있으며, 2009년 5월에 시스템 개념 설계 검토(SDR) 회의를 수행하였고 현재는 예비 설계 단계를 진행 중이다. ARGO-M을 구성하는 5개의 서브시스템 중 하나인 운영시스템은 레이저 관측에 필요한 각종 서브시스템을 제어하고 환경을 종합 판단 후 이를 관측에 반영하며, 실제 관측을 통해 획득한 데이터를 통합 처리 및 전송하는 역할을 담당하고 있다. 현재 본격적인 예비 설계 수행 단계에 있는 운영시스템은 우선적으로 핵심이 되는 소프트웨어의 설계를 위해 오스트리아의 Graz에 위치한 IWF(Institut fur Weltraumforschung) 소속 SLR(Satellite Laser Ranging) 관측소를 2009년도에 방문하여 운영 전반에 관련한 소프트웨어의 로직분석 작업을 수행하였다. Graz 운영시스템 중 소프트웨어관련 시스템은 크게 KHz급 반복율을 가진 레이저를 사용하여 위성까지의 거리 측정에 해당되는 실시간 시스템과 실시간 측정을 통해 저장된 관측 원시 자료를 이후 분석을 수행하는 비 실시간(Non-real time) 시스템으로 나눌 수 있다. 이 중에서 비 실시간 시스템은 원시 자료 분석을 통해 시간 및 거리 바이어스 적용, 노이즈 제거 등의 후처리 과정과 다양한 통계 분석 그리고 SLR시스템의 최종 산출물인 정규점(Normal Point) 생성 등을 수행한다. 이번 소프트웨어 분석 연구를 통해 얻어진 주요 알고리즘과 다양한 다이어그램을 포함한 결과물은 ARGO-M 운영시스템에 최적화하도록 소프트웨어 재구성 및 개발에 반영할 예정이다.
