마이크로퀘이사들은 고중력 천체와 보통의 별이 공전하며 서로의 물질도 이동하는 근접 쌍성계로서, 불규칙하고 간헐적으로 플레어와 그에 수반하는 상대론적인 속도로 분출되는 물질을 분출하는 현상, 즉 마이크로퀘이사 현상을 보인다. 두 천체사이의 거리는 수백만 킬로미터이고, 특히 물질을 분출하는 것으로 믿어지는 고중력 천체 주변의 크기는 수천 킬로미터 정도인데 반하여, 우리로 부터의 거리는 보통 10 킬로 kpc 이상이다. 따라서 마이크로퀘이사 현상의 영상을 얻으려면 초장기선 전파간섭계를 이용해야 한다. 우리는 일본의 초장기선 전파간섭계 VERA를 이용하여 VERA J2032+4057의 플레어 상태에서의 물질 분출 현상을 영상화 하였다. VERA J2032+4057의 플레어와 불질분출은 매우 복잡하여 여러 가지 모델들을 써서 영상을 해석해 보았다.

본 연구에서는 먼저 관련된 교수 이론을 고찰하고, 이를 천체망원경 활용에 접목시켜 다양한 멀티미디어 요소들을 이용, 학습을 전개하여 자습자의 흥미와 학습 의욕을 높이고, 학습 과정을 스스로 통제할 수 있는 천체망원경 활용을 위만 웹기반 멀티미디어 코스웨어를 개발하였다. 이는 기존의 코스웨어를 각자가 소유해야 하는 방식에서 벗어나 여러 사람이 동시에 코스웨어를 공유하여 학습의 문을 넓히는 보다 발전적인 형태로 변화할 수 있음을 나타내고 있다. 본 연구에서는 웹을 기반으로 하여 시 공간의 제약 없이 학습할 수 있고, 특히 반복적인 학습이 필요한 천체망원경 설치 및 조작은 동영상을 통하여 체험적 실습이 가능하도록 구현하였다.

표준우주모형이 예측하는 천체의 성장 역사를 추적하기 위해서는 보통의 밤하늘 밝기보다 약 1000배 어두운 낮은 표면밝기(Low Surface Brightness, LSB) 우주 탐사가 필요하지만, 관측기술의 한계로 아직 LSB 우주는 거의 미지의 세계에 있다고 할 수 있다. 한국천문연구원에서는 LSB 천체 관측에 최적화된 직경 300 mm K-DRIFT Pathfinder 망원경을 개발하였다. LSB 천체는 ~28 mag/arcsec2 보다 어두운 천체로 표면밝기가 매우 낮기 때문에 망원경 내부의 미광(stray light)을 최소화하는 것이 중요하다. 이를 구현하기 위해 K-DRIFT Pathfinder 망원경에는 선형 비점수차가 제거된 비축 자유곡면 삼 반사경 형태를 적용하였다. 본 연구를 통해 가시광 영역에서 선형 비점수차가 제거된 비축 자유곡면 삼 반사 망원경의 설계, 제작 및 측정 가능성을 검증하였다. 본 발표에서는 K-DRIFT Pathfinder 망원경에 적용된 비축 자유곡면 광학면의 가공, 삼 반사 망원경의 조립 및 정렬 결과를 소개한다.

Based on the importance of spatial thinking to understand celestial motion, this study aimed to investigate how spatial thinking was treated in astronomy classes. For this study, we analyzed four elementary teachers' science classes about the unit 'solar systems and stars' in 5th grade in terms of spatial thinking. The results showed that sharing perspectives and orientation explicitly between a teacher and students were important for students to understand celestial motion. Providing the earth-based and the space-based viewpoints simultaneously were helpful for students' understanding of celestial motion. Based on these results, this study suggested that clarifying the viewpoint and orientation, showing the earth-based and the space-based viewpoint simultaneously, and reorganizing the relative units of astronomy based on celestial motion and spatial thinking.

Science practice is a process of establishing new relationships with 'foreign things' such as learning objects or tools for observation and measurement. Since the practice of science in major subjects has been increasingly emphasized, we sought to understand the meaning co-created by students and numerous materials who have experienced astronomical observation as a Deleuzian experience of "becoming". We collected activity logs and photographic data written by 17 students participating in astronomical observation activities at "A" High School, and conducted in-depth interviews with the students. We assessed the collected data by reconstructing a situation analysis. The main research results include the students' existential-epistemological 'becoming' process: 1) discovering newness through repetition, 2) becoming an 'explanation machine' to convey the affect of astronomical observation activities, 3) breaking out of a stabilized territory, and crossing a threshold. Based on the results, we suggested the need for follow-up research on the practices and new experimental approaches of teachers in earth science education.

The purpose of this study was to investigate pre-service elementary teachers' conceptions about the relative sizes of celestial bodies including the universe, galaxy, star, planet, satellite, asteroid, and comet, which were presented in elementary school science textbook. This study also examined the causes of their misconceptions as shown in the study. Sixty three pre-service elementary teachers participated in this study. The survey was developed for this study that asked to make an order of relative sizes of the given celestial bodies and to write scientific facts about each of the celestial bodies. The survey items were analyzed by simple descriptive statistics, and the written responses were analyzed using qualitative and inductive methods. The results showed that only five (7.9%) of the participants correctly answered about the relative size of the given celestial bodies. There were three common misconceptions identified in relation to the relative sizes of the celestial bodies; more than 20% of the participants had: (1) a planet is bigger than a star (46.0% of the participants), (2) an asteroid is bigger than satellite (58.7%), 3) a comet is bigger than a star (22.2%).

The purpose of this study is to investigate the abilities of 6th grade students to assess the relationship between spatial capability, concept of celestial motion, and science process skills, which can help find a better teaching strategy for students in understanding the concept of celestial motion. The results are as follows. First, in terms of level of accomplishment of these three skills, male students show higher level of accomplishment than female students, but significant differences are found. Second, according to the analysis of the effect of spatial capability and concept of the movement of heavenly bodies, the former has a stronger influence on the students' cognition of celestial motion. Minor elements of spatial capability that influence the conception of celestial motion are device analogy, calculation of wood cut, and revolving light. Third, spatial capability is very influential on the level of accomplishment in science process skills. Among the minor elements of spatial capability that is influential to science process skills, calculation of wood cut is the highest, especially when various elements are interactively related to each other.

This paper introduces the development of global fringe search (GFS) software for preprocessing of Daejeon Correlator. In case of the VLBI observation, a observer conducts the observation for the reference sources with strong and point-like radio stars on schedule in order to confirm the well-observedness of the radio source by the radio telescope. The correlator performs the correlation for the reference sources to detect the fringe completely. We developed the GFS software by calculating the precise delay time between each observatory based on specific observatory. Then, this software calculates the precise delay time by using the delay model (correlator model) of reference source and information of time offset between the Hydrogen Maser frequency standard and GPS (Global Positioning System) clock located in each observatory through the correlation preprocessing. In order to confirm the performance of the developed software, experiments were carried out for the reference sources and target sources observed by the KaVA (KVN and VERA Array). Experimental results show that the GFS software has effectively good performance by finding the precise delay time offset according to the comparison between the compensated delay time offset and one without compensation.

The purpose of this study is to develop an astronomical observing education program that enables high school students to inquire the distance of astronomical bodies based on the research methods (observing open clusters and exploring collected big data) using small telescopes and DSLR cameras. After analyzing the 2015 revised science curriculum, we developed science club activity materials and teacher-student learning contents suitable for high school earth science education. A panel of six teachers and researchers of earth science education and astronomy, participated in developing the educational materials. The validity of the program was verified through establishing the agreement among the panels after in-depth discussions and clarifications. The program, developed with 10 lessons in total, showed high satisfactory content validity (CVI, .89) and conformity of school class (Likert's 5 point scales, 4.17). The feedback of the panels and the Delphi analysis continued to improve the quality of the program. The pilot testing result with high school students (N=9) showed that the students' satisfaction rate was high as 4.48. Using the astronomical observational education program of this study is expected to contribute in improving the convergence educational activity, interest, curiosity, and inquiry ability of students in the universe and the astronomical bodies.
