We examine the dependence of the morphology of spiral galaxies on the environment using the KIAS Value Added Galaxy Catalog (VAGC) which is derived from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) DR7. Our goal is to understand whether the local environment or global conditions dominate in determining the morphology of spiral galaxies. For the analysis, we conduct a morphological classification of galaxies in 20 X-ray selected Abell clusters up to z~0.06, using SDSS color images and the X-ray data from the Northern ROSAT All-Sky (NORAS) catalog. We analyze the distribution of arm classes along the clustercentric radius as well as that of Hubble types. To segregate the effect of local environment from the global environment, we compare the morphological distribution of galaxies in two X-lay luminosity groups, the low-$L_x$ clusters ($L_x$ < $0.15{\times}10^{44}$erg/s) and high-$L_x$ clusters ($L_x$ > $1.8{\times}10^{44}$erg/s). We find that the morphology-clustercentric relation prevails in the cluster environment although there is a brake near the cluster virial radius. The grand design arms comprise about 40% of the cluster spiral galaxies with a weak morphology-clustercentric radius relation for the arm classes, in the sense that flocculent galaxies tend to increase outward, regardless of the X-ray luminosity. From the cumulative radial distribution of cluster galaxies, we found that the low-$L_x$ clusters are fully virialized while the high-$L_x$ clusters are not.

Galaxies associated with massive groups/clusters are normally gas deficient in contrast to field galaxies. HI observations on such galaxies have revealed signs of violent gas stripping, the direct evidence of the environmental effect. At the same time, the notable number of passive galaxies at the cluster outskirts indicates the presence of pre-processing that makes galaxies gas-poor before entering clusters. We investigate the possible channels for the production of the gas deficient galaxies using the state-of-the-art cosmological hydrodynamic zoom-in simulations of 16 clusters (Choi&Yi). We find cluster effect and pre-processing together play an important role in producing the gas-poor galaxies and in both cases gas loss qualitatively agrees with the ram pressure stripping description. Among the currently gas-poor cluster galaxies, 34% are pre-processed before the cluster infall. They are mainly satellites that have undergone ram pressure stripping in group halos. 43% deplete quickly after arriving at cluster during their first approach to the center. Some of them are group halo satellites low in the gas at the infall compared to galaxies directly coming from the field. 24% retain gas even after their first pericentric pass mainly because they are falling into low mass clusters and/or they have a circular orbit that minimizes the ram pressure effect. This study highlights the importance of the past history of galaxies, especially in group halos, before joining the current cluster when understanding the excess of passive galaxies in clusters.

We present the results of our analysis of the RR Lyrae (RRL) variable stars detected in two transition-type dwarf galaxies (dTrans), ESO294-G010 and ESO410-G005 in the Sculptor group, which is known to be one of the closest neighboring galaxy groups to our Local Group. Using deep archival images from the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) onboard the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), we have identified a sample of RR Lyrae candidates in both dTrans galaxies [219 RRab (RR0) and 13 RRc (RR1) variables in ESO294-G010; 225 RRab and 44 RRc stars in ESO410-G005]. The metallicities of the individual RRab stars are calculated via the period-amplitude-[Fe/H] relation derived by Alcock et al. This yields mean metallicities of <[Fe/H]>_{ESO294} = -1.77 +/- 0.03 and <[Fe/H]>_{ESO410} = -1.64+/- 0.03. The RRL metallicity distribution functions (MDFs) are investigated further via simple chemical evolution models; these reveal the relics of the early chemical enrichment processes for these two dTrans galaxies. In the case of both galaxies, the shapes of the RRL MDFs are well-described by pre-enrichment models. This suggests two possible channels for the early chemical evolution for these Sculptor group dTrans galaxies: 1) The ancient stellar populations of our target dwarf galaxies might have formed from the star forming gas which was already enriched through "prompt initial enrichment" or an "initial nucleosynthetic spike" from the very first massive stars, or 2) this pre-enrichment state might have been achieved by the end products from more evolved systems of their nearest neighbor, NGC 55.

본 연구는 여러 종류의 ICT활용 수업자료 중 웹 기반(WBI)수업자료와 CD롬 타이틀 수업자료가 자기 주도적 학습 능력과 창의성, 문제해결력 등에 미치는 효과를 알아보고자 하는 것이다. 이를 위하여 고등학교 과학지구영역의 '태양계와 은하계' 단원에 대하여 두 가지 자료를 활용한 수업을 실시하고 그 효과를 분석하였다. 그 결과, 웹 기반 수업자료와 CD롬 수업자료를 활용한 수업은 자기 주도적 학습특성 중 '자아개념', '창의성' , '미래지향성', '자기 평가력' ,개방성', '솔선수범'을 높이는데 효과적이었으나 '학습열성', '책임감'을 향상시키는 데는 유의미한 효과가 나타나지 않았다. 선수학습 수준에 따른 자기주도적 학습특성을 살펴보면 웹 기반(WBI) 수업 집단과 CD롬 수업집단 모두 상호작용의 효과가 나타나지 않았다. ICT활용 수업의 특징인 문제 해결력 향상에 있어서는 웹 기반(WBI) 수업이 CD롬 활용 수업보다 학업 성취도를 높이는 데 효과적이었다. 웹 기반(WBI) 수업에서는 '유창성', '독창성', 성급한 종결에 대한 저항'에서 효과적인 반면 제목의 추상성', '정교성'을 높이는 데는 유의미한 효과가 나타나지 않았다. 이러한 결과는 웹 기반(WBI) 수업이 웹의 특성인 다양성과 역동성의 측면에서는 '유창성', '독창성'에서 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났으며, '성급한 종결에 대한 저항‘의 영역에서는 한 번 사이트에 접속하면 웹 사이트의 다양하게 제시되는 그림 자료의 생동감 때문에 학습내용을 조직하는 데 효과적인 것으로 해석된다. 웹 기반(WBI) 수업에 대한 설문지를 분석한 결과 화면 구성, 정보의 양, 지시와 도움말, 보충학습과 심화학습에서는 매우 좋은 반응을 보였다. 따라서 ICT자료별 활용의 효과를 고려할 때 고등학교 과학과 수업의 효율화를 위해서는 양질의 WBI자료를 체계적으로 활용하는 것이 효과적일 것으로 판단된다.
