Mass and radius of a neutron star in low-mass X-ray binary (LMXB) can be estimated simultaneously when the observed light curve and spectrum show the photospheric radius expansion feature. This method has been applied to 4U 1746-37 and the mass and radius were found to be unusually small in comparison with typical neutron stars. We re-estimate the mass and radius of this target by considering that the observed light curve and spectrum can be affected by other X-ray sources because this LMXB belongs to a very crowded globular cluster NGC 6441. The new estimation increases the mass and radius but they do not reach the typical values yet.

A few high-mass X-ray binaries-consisting of an OB star plus compact companion-have been observed by Fermi and ground-based Cerenkov telescopes like High Energy Stereoscopic System (HESS) to be sources of very high energy (VHE; up to 30 TeV) ${\gamma}$-rays. This paper focuses on the prominent ${\gamma}$-ray source, LS 5039, which consists of a massive O6.5V star in a 3.9-day-period, mildly elliptical ($e{\approx}0.24$) orbit with its companion, assumed here to be an unmagnetized compact object (e.g., black hole). Using three dimensional smoothed particle hydrodynamics simulations of the Bondi-Hoyle accretion of the O-star wind onto the companion, we find that the orbital phase variation of the accretion follows very closely the simple Bondi-Hoyle-Lyttleton (BHL) rate for the local radius and wind speed. Moreover, a simple model, wherein intrinsic emission of ${\gamma}$-rays is assumed to track this accretion rate, reproduces quite well Fermi observations of the phase variation of ${\gamma}$-rays in the energy range 0.1-10 GeV. However for the VHE (0.1-30 TeV) radiation observed by the HESS Cerenkov telescope, it is important to account also for photon-photon interactions between the ${\gamma}$-rays and the stellar optical/UV radiation, which effectively attenuates much of the strong emission near periastron. When this is included, we find that this simple BHL accretion model also quite naturally fits the HESS light curve, thus making it a strong alternative to the pulsar-wind-shock models commonly invoked to explain such VHE ${\gamma}$-ray emission in massive-star binaries.

공생별 AG Peg는 적색거성(GS)과 백색왜성(WD)으로 구성된 성운으로 둘러싸인 쌍성계이다. AG Peg의 분광자료는 1998년, 2001년, 그리고 2002년의 세 시기에 미국 Lick 천문대에서 관측한 자료로 HI 발머 방출선 자료를 분석하였다. AG Peg의 선세기와 폭은 각 시기에 따라 변하는데, $H{\alpha}$와 $H{\beta}$ 선에서 모두 청색편이, 적색편이, 넓은 폭 성분이 나타났다. 가스 성운의 운동학적 특성을 보여주는 방출선은 WD주변에 형성된 강착원반의 반경이 매우 큼을 보여준다. 관측자의 시선 방향을 고려하면, 1998년 관측은 AG Peg의 GS와 WD가 나란히 하늘에 있는 반면, 2002년에는 WD가 GS의 전면에, 2001년에는 WD가 GS의 뒷면에 위치하였다. 이러한 상대적인 위치와 분광선의 변화를 고려하여, 우리는 GS에서 WD로의 가스유입이 지속적으로 이루어지고, 그 결과 형성된 두꺼운 원반의 회전이 관측된 분광선 윤곽의 형성을 가져온 것으로 결론지었다.

1995년 11월부터 1999년 12월까지 총 10일간 W형 접촉쌍성 AB And를 소백산천문대의 61cm 망원경과 BVR필터를 사용하여 CCD 측광관측을 수행하였다. 우리의 관측으로부터 AB And의 1995, 1996그리고 1999년에 걸친 년도별 광도곡선을 완성하였고, 8개의 새로운 극심시각을 결정하였다. 새로 얻은 광도곡선은 AB And가 지난 5년 동안 심한 광도변화를 겪어왔음을 보여주고 있다. 기준 광도곡선으로 선정된 1996년의 광도곡선을 Wilson-Devinney쌍성모델의 접촉모드에 적용하여 AB And의 측광해를 구하였다. 이 분석에서 광도변화의 원인을 흑점에 의한 것으로 가정하여 시스템 인자들을 산출한 후, 단지 흑점만을 조정인자로 하여 1995년과 1999년 광도곡선을 분석하였다. 그 결과, 우리는 광도변화가 반성 표면 위에 hot spot과 cool spot가 동시에 존재해서 일어난다고 해석하였다. 반성 표면 위의 hot spot는 이재우(1999)가 제안한 질량교환에 의한 것으로 유추할 수 있다.

경로 탐색 알고리즘은 이동 가능한 에이전트가 게임 내의 가상 월드에서 현재 위치로부터 목적지까지 가는 경로를 탐색하는 알고리즘을 뜻한다. 기존의 경로 탐색 알고리즘은 A*, Dijkstra와 같이 비용기반으로 그래프 탐색을 수행한다. A*와 Dijkstra는 월드 맵에서 이동 가능한 노드와 에지 정보들을 필요로 해서 맵의 정보가 다양하고 많은 온라인 게임에 적용하기 힘들다. 본 논문에서는 가변환경이나 맵의 데이터가 방대한 게임에서 적용 가능한 경로 탐색 알고리즘을 개발하기 위해 맵의 정보 없이 교배, 교차, 돌연변이, 진화 연산을 통해 해를 찾는 유전 알고리즘(Genetic Algorithm, GA)을 활용한 Heuristic-based Genetic Algorithm Path-finding(HGAP)를 제안한다. 제안하는 알고리즘은 Binary-Coded Genetic Algorithm을 기반으로 하며 목적지에 더 빨리 도달하기 위해 목적지로 가는 경로를 추정하는 휴리스틱 연산을 수행하여 경로를 탐색한다.

The progenitor of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) is mainly believed to be a close binary system of acarbon-oxygen white dwarf (CO WD) and non-degenerate companion (single degenerate) or another WD (double degenerate). However, it is unclear which system is more prevalent. Here, we present a high cadence optical/Near-IR light curve of normal but slightly faint type Ia SN 2019ein from IMSNG project. We fit the early light curve (t <+8.3 days from the first detection) with various models to find the shock-heated cooling emission from SN ejecta-companion interaction. No significant shock-heated cooling emission is found, from which we constrain the progenitor star size as the following. The upper limit (R_upper,*) of the companion size in R-band is ~0.2R_⊙ when forcing the first light time (t_fl) to have one value and ~0.9R_⊙ when using the mean value of tfl from the fitting in each band. Assuming the source of the I-band curve is almost powered from the radioactive decay, we obtained R_upper,*~1.2R_⊙. The early B-V color curve is in agreement with the model color curve of the 2M_⊙ main sequence companion. These results allow us to at least rule out large stars like red giants as a companion star of the binary progenitor system of this supernova. B-R and V-R color do not show any significant signs of a red bump, which shows a thin helium shell (MHe<0.1M_⊙) for the sub-Mch WD (double detonation model). In addition, we estimated the distance to NGC 5353 as 37.098±0.028Mpc.

The mass measurement of neutron stars or black holes is of fundamental importance in our understanding of the evolution of massive stars and core-collapse supernova explosions as well as some exotic physics of the extreme conditions. Despite the importance, however, it's very difficult to measure mass of these objects directly. One way to do this, if they are in binary systems, to measure their binary motions (i.e., Doppler shifts) which can give us direct information on their mass. Recently many new highly-obscured massive X-ray binaries have been discovered by new hard X-ray satellites such as INTEGRAL and NuSTAR. The new highly-obscured massive X-ray binaries are faint in the optical, but bright in the infrared with many emission lines. Based on the near-infrared spectroscopy, one can first understand the nature of stellar companions to the compact objects, determining its spectral types and luminosity classes as well as mass losses and conditions of (potential) circumstellar material. Next, spectroscopic monitoring of these objects can be used to estimate the mass of compact objects via measuring the Doppler shifts of the lines. For the former, broad-band spectroscopy is essential; for the latter, high-resolution spectroscopy is critical. Therefore, IGRINS appears to be an ideal instrument to study them. An IGRINS survey of these new highly-obscured massive X-ray binaries can give us a rare opportunity to carry out population analyses for understanding the evolution of massive binary systems and formation of compact objects and their mass ranges. In this talk, we will present a sample near-infrared high resolution spectra of HMXB, IGR J19140+0951 and discuss about its spectral feature. These spectra are obtained on 13th July, 2014 from IGRINS commissioning run at McDonald 2.7m telescope. And at final, we will introduce the upgrade plan of IGRINS Operation Software (IGOS), to gather the input from IGRINS observer.

Symbiotic stars are known as binary systems with both cool and hot components with enshrounding nebulous gas. The cool component, M-type giant, is presumably loosing its mass into a hot white or main sequence companion star through the inner Lagrangian point. The lines emit from the ionized nebulous region around the hot star while the mass loss or accretion activity is believed to be the main cause of sudden variation of the continuum and line fluxes. We selected 17 symbiotics for which the emission line fluxes were measured from the IUE SWP, LWR data, to find variability of spectrum. We also investigated the periodic variation of emissions or eclipsing effect from the IUE lines. All of our symbiotics show very high electron densities in the emission regions. For other optical symbiotics, the observations had been carried in 1999 with BOAO mid-resolution spectrometer. We classified symbiotics based on their outburst activities, or emission line characteristics, i.e., $OVI{\lambda}6830.\;The\;OVI{\lambda}6830$ emission lines are also found in S-type symbiotics, which have been known as charateristics of D-types.

We investigate physical properties of the nearby (∼ 7.5 pc) astrometric binary μ Cas in the context of standard evolutionary theory. Based on the spectroscopically determined relative abundances ([α/Fe] ≳ +0.4 dex, [Fe/H] ∼ −0.7 dex), all physical inputs such as opacities and equation of state are consistently generated. By combining recent spectroscopic analyses with the astrometric observations from the HIPPARCOS parallaxes and the CHARA array, the evolutionary model grids have been constructed. Through the statistical evaluation of the χ²-minimization among alternative models, we find a reliable evolutionary solution (M_A, M_B, t_age) = (0.74 M_⊙, 0.19 M_⊙, 11 Gyr) which excellently satisfies observational constraints. In particular, we find that the helium abundance of μ Cas is comparable with the primordial helium contents (Y_p ∼ 0.245). On the basis of the well-defined stellar parameters of the primary star, the internal structure and the p-mode frequencies have been estimated. From our seismic computation, μ Cas is expected to have a first order spacing ∆ν ∼ 169 μHz. The ultimate goal of this study is to describe physical processes inside a low-mass star through a complete modelling from the spectroscopic observation to the evolutionary computation.
