  • SN 2011fe is the closest and brightest Type Ia supernova in the digital imaging era and thus provides the richest data. We present UBVRI photometry of SN 2011fe for a span of ~180 days after the optical maximum. This paper contains measurements made at SOAO, LOAO, and SNUO and also includes data from a small telescope in Mongolia. We compare the results with the ones obtained by Richmond & Smith (2012) and Vinko et al. (2012).

  • We investigate the radial properties of the narrow-line region (NLR) in two radio-quiet quasars, PG1012+008 and PG1307+085, using the spectra obtained with the FORS1 at the Very Large Telescope. These high quality spectra with seeing < 0.6" enable us to extract seven two-pixel (0.4") spectra as a function of the radial distance from the accretion disk. In contrast to [OIII] narrow-band imaging, which can be contaminated by starbursts, shock-ionized gas, and tidal tails, we use emission-line diagnostic to determine the true size of the AGN-excited NLR. In this poster, we present the results based on the radial variance of $H{\beta}$ to [OIII] ${\lambda}5007$ ratio. For both targets, the [OIII] emission line exhibits a blue wing, suggesting an outflow of gas. In the case of PG1307+085, the blue wing disappears at the distance of 1". We will discuss the properties of the NLR in detail.

  • The laser transport system of the high power laser facility is mainly composed of large-aperture laser transport mirrors (TMs). Obtaining the high-resolution online damage images during the operation, which is of great significance for operating safely of the mirrors and the facility. Based on wavefront coding, pan-tilt scanning and image stitching technologies, an online laser-damage images detection system is designed, and it can achieve high-precision detection of surface characteristics of large-aperture laser transport mirrors. The preliminary simulation proves that the system can solve the depth of field matching problem caused by pan-tilt tilt imaging and achieve higher resolution.

  • Contamination on two-dimensional (2D) crystal surfaces poses serious limitations on fundamental studies and applications of 2D crystals. Surface residues induce uncontrolled doping and charge carrier scattering in 2D crystals, and trapped residues in mechanically assembled 2D vertical heterostructures often hinder coupling between stacked layers. Developing a process that can reduce the surface residues on 2D crystals is important. In this study, we explored the use of atomic force microscopy (AFM) to remove surface residues from 2D crystals. Using various transmission electron microscopy (TEM) investigations, we confirmed that surface residues on graphene samples can be effectively removed via contact-mode AFM scanning. The mechanical cleaning process dramatically increases the residue-free areas, where high-resolution imaging of graphene layers can be obtained. We believe that our mechanical cleaning process can be utilized to prepare high-quality 2D crystal samples with minimum surface residues.

  • We describe the Infrared Medium-deep Survey (IMS), a survey of quasars in the early universe beyond z=5. IMS uses multi-wavelength archival data such as SDSS, CFHT-LS, UKIDSS, and SWIRE, which provide deep images over wide area enough for searching of high redshift bright quasars. In addition, we are carrying out J-band imaging survey with the depth of 23AB at UKIRT for up to 200 $deg^2$, of which 50 $deg^2$ is covered so far. For the quasar candidates at z~5.5, we are making observations with custom-made filters, which are more efficient to make robust quasar candidate samples in this redshift range. Because of the deeper survey depth and the unique methods, our IMS can provide a large number of high redshift quasars comparing with ongoing high redshift bright quasar survey. The high redshift quasars we confirm will give us with clues of the growth of super massive black holes and the metal enrichment history in the early universe.

  • 전자의 에너지를 측정하기 위한 분석장치는 원자핵물리뿐만 아니라 화학과 생물학 등 다양한 분야에 걸쳐 매우 유용하게 사용될 수가 있다. 특히 최근에 극고속 과학과 관련해서 매우 짧은 펄스인 아토초 펄스의 발생에 대한 특성평가를 위해 매우 중요한 장치로 사용되고 있다. 그 중 VMI (Velocity Map Imaging) 방법은 TOF (Time of Flight) 방법과 유사하지만, CCD 카메라를 추가로 사용하여 이차원 이미지를 얻음으로써 전자의 운동에너지 및 각도 분포에 대한 정보를 얻을 수 있고 또한 전극에 인가되는 전압은 TOF와 달리 매우 높다. 이번 개발에서는 기존의 전극 렌즈의 geometry와 비교해서 VMI Spectrometer 전극 렌즈의 수를 늘려 multi-electrode concept을 도입함으로써 높은 운동에너지(~1000 eV)를 가진 전자들을 MCP detector상에서 imaging 하는데 있어 높은 공간 분해능(resolution)을 갖도록 설계하고, 또한 높은 사양의 MCP detector 및 CCD 카메라를 이용하여 시간 분해능을 높임으로써 아토초 펄스를 이용한 극고속 실험에 이용 가능하도록 제작하였다.

  • In coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) microscopy reported until now, conventional microscope objectives are used, so that they are limited for introduction into a living body. Gradient-index (GRIN) rod lenses might be a solution for miniaturized microscope objectives for in-vivo CARS microscopy. However, due to the inherent large amount of chromatic aberration, GRIN rod lenses cannot be utilized for this purpose. CARS imaging catheter, composed of miniaturized microscope objective and fiber bundle, can be introduced into a living body for minimally invasive diagnosis. In order to design the catheter, we have to first investigate design requirements. And then, the optical design is processed with design strategies and intensive computing power to achieve the design requirements. We report the miniaturized objective lens system with diffraction-limited performance and completely corrected chromatic aberrations for an in-vivo CARS imaging catheter.
