  • SomangNet team aims to make use of small- to medium-sized telescopes for photometric follow-up observations of transiting extrasolar planets orbiting a bright host star. Newly discovered transiting planets need frequent monitoring in order to maintain knowledge of the transit ephemeris. DOAO 1.0 m telescope and CBNUO 0.6 m telescopes are used for our monitoring. We will present some preliminary results of our observations and analysis.

  • In this paper, we describe the first multi-frequency synthesis observations of blazar 0059+581 made with the Radioastron space-ground interferometer in conjunction with the Korean VLBI Network (KVN), Medicina and Torun ground telescopes. We conducted these observations to assess the spaceground interferometer multi-frequency mode capability for the first time.

  • VRI bands CCD photometric observations of the BL Lac object OJ 287 have been carried out during the period from October, 1994 to May, 1996. OJ 287 underwent two major outbursts during our observations. The first peak (V14.0 mag.) occurred in the first half of November, 1994 and faded out to 16.5 mag within 150 days. The second peak (14.0 mag.) was observed in late December, 1995. The latter peak continued at nearly the same brightness until May, 1996. Such a long lasting outburst has never been reported for OJ 287. Color indices (V - R and V-I) remained nearly constant during the outbursts.

  • We will present the activities of East Asian VLBI Network, EAVN, which consists of around 20 radio telescopes in Japan, Korea, and China with 6,500 km extend. It is a most sensitive and highest VLBI array in the world. We have conducted science verification observations at mainly 8 and 22 GHz. And Japanese VLBI array, VERA, and Korean VLBI array, KVN have combined as KaVA, Korean and VERA Array, and started science observations with open use at 22 and 43 GHz. We will presents some commissioning and science results based on it. Moreover Taiwan is constructing the Greenland telescope to be a millimeter and submillimeter VLBI station, which will be a very powerful station in Global millimeter and submillimeter VLBI array. These activities will be introduced as well.

  • We report results of investigation of amplitude calibration for very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) observations with Korean VLBI Network (KVN). Amplitude correction factors are estimated based on comparison of KVN observations at 22 GHz correlated by Daejeon hardware correlator and DiFX software correlator in Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institue (KASI) with Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) observations at 22 GHz by DiFX software correlator in National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO). We used the observations for compact radio sources, 3C 454.3 and NRAO 512 which are almost unresolved for baselines in a range of 350-477 km. VLBA visibility data of the sources observed with similar baselines as KVN are selected, fringe-fitted, calibrated, and compared in their amplitudes. We found that visibility amplitudes of KVN observations should be corrected by factors of 1.14 and 1.40 when correlated by DiFX and Daejeon correlators, respectively. These correction factors are attributed to the combination of two steps of 2-bit quantization in KVN observing systems and characteristics of Daejeon correlator.
