  • The next decade will see great advances in ground-based spectroscopic observing capabilities: facilities that are under development today will have larger collecting areas and greater spectroscopic multiplexing capabilities than ever before, and are sure to revolutionize the scientific productivity of our field. In this talk I will review the status of two of these next-generation facilities, the Giant Magellan Telescope's wide-field multiobject optical spectrograph, GMACS, and the Maunakea Spectroscopic Explorer project, a massively multiplexed spectroscopic facility currently under development in Hawaii that features an 11.25m diameter primary mirror which feeds 4,332 fibers and a suite of low- and high-resolution spectrographs. These two projects are scientifically quite complementary and both present exciting instrument development opportunities over the next few years.

  • We use a Probabilistic Neural Network (PNN) technique to derive the orbital parameters of spectroscopic binary stars. Using measured radial velocity data of five double-lined spectroscopic binary systems (i.e., EQ Tau, V376 And, V776 Cas, V2377 Oph and EE Cet), we find the corresponding orbital and spectroscopic elements. Our numerical results are in good agreement with those obtained by other groups via more traditional methods.

  • MSE (Maunakea Spectroscopic Explorer)는 11.25m 구경의 망원경과 최대 4,000 개의 천체를 한 번에 관측할 수 있는 분광기를 통해 다천체 분광학 연구를 이끌 차세대 관측기기이다. 경희대학교는 망원경에 장착되는 다천체 분광기의 성능 요구사항을 바탕으로 노출 시간 소프트웨어 ETC (Exposure Time Calculator)를 개발하고 있다. ETC는 대기에 의한 연속선 소광, 방출선과 흡수선, 망원경 및 광학 기기의 투과율, 검출기의 암전류와 읽기 잡음을 바탕으로 신호 대 잡음비 S/N (Signal to Noise)을 도출하여 천체를 분광 관측하기 위한 적절한 노출 시간을 계산한다. MSE-ETC는 저분산 LR (Low Resolution, R=3,000), 중분산 MR (Moderate Resolution, R =6,000) 및 고분산 HR (High Resolution, R=40,000)의 관측 모드로 가시광선과 근적외선 영역의 S/N과 파장, 그리고 S/N과 AB등급 간의 상관관계를 보여준다. 본 포스터에서는 개발 중인 MSE-ETC 프로그램의 구조와 작동 알고리즘 및 사용 예를 발표한다.

  • Spectroscopy is an emerging technology for the quality assessment of pharmaceutical samples, from tablet manufacturing to final quality assurance. The traditional methods for the quality management of pharmaceutical tablets are time consuming and destructive, while spectroscopic techniques allow rapid analysis in a non-destructive manner. The advantage of spectroscopy is that it collects both spatial and spectral information (called hyperspectral imaging), which is useful for the chemical imaging of pharmaceutical samples. These chemical images provide both qualitative and quantitative information on tablet samples. In the pharmaceutics, spectroscopic techniques are used for a variety of applications, such as analysis of the homogeneity of powder samples as well as determination of particle size, product composition, and the concentration, uniformity, and distribution of the active pharmaceutical ingredient in solid tablets. This review paper presents an introduction to the applications of various spectroscopic techniques such as hyperspectroscopy and vibrational spectroscopies (Raman spectroscopy, FT-NIR, and IR spectroscopy) for the quality and safety assessment of pharmaceutical solid dosage forms. In addition, various chemometric techniques that are highly essential for analyzing the spectroscopic data of pharmaceutical samples are also reviewed.

  • Purpose: Fungal secondary metabolite (mycotoxin) contamination in foods can pose a serious threat to humans and animals. Spectroscopic techniques have proven to be potential alternative tools for early detection of mycotoxins. Thus, the aim of this review is to provide an overview of the current developments in nondestructive food safety testing techniques, particularly regarding fungal contamination testing in grains, focusing on the application of spectroscopic techniques to this problem. Methods: This review focuses on the use of spectroscopic techniques for the detection of fungi and mycotoxins in agricultural products as reported in the literature. It provides an overview of the characteristics of the main spectroscopic methods and reviews their applications in grain analysis. Results: It was found that spectroscopy has advantages over conventional methods used for fungal contamination detection, particularly when combined with chemometrics. These advantages include the rapidness and nondestructive nature of this approach. Conclusions: While spectroscopy offers many benefits for the detection of mycotoxins in agricultural products, a number of limitations exist, which must be overcome prior to widespread adoption of these techniques.

  • The spectroscopic properties of $FO^+$ and FO were investigated by ab initio calculation. Several different levels of theory, $MP3/6-31G^*,\;MP4/6-311G^*\;and\;CISD/6-31G^*$, were tried and compared with experimental results of FO. In the overall performance the CISD showed the best agreement. Based on these results the spectroscopic constants of $FO^+$ are predicted.

  • With the recent advent of various ultrashort pulse lasers, time-resolved laser spectroscopic techniques have been widely recognized as versatile tools to study ultrafast phenomena in many research areas. These techniques are currently being employed not only to study atomic and molecular physics but to characterize the excited state or the carrier dynamics on surfaces of semiconductors, metals and thin layer materials. Also the sweetching speed measurement of ultrafast electro-optic devices using ultrashort laser pulses becomes important in high-speed electronics. Here, some principles of spectroscopic techniques with ps or fs lasers and their applications are summarized briefly.

  • AKARI performed about 10,000 spectroscopic observations with the Infrared Camera (IRC) during its mission phase. These IRC observations provide unique spectroscopic data at near- and mid-infrared wavelengths for studies of the next few decades because of its high sensitivity and unique wavelength coverage. In this paper, we present the current status of the activity for improving the IRC spectroscopic data reduction process, including the toolkit and related data packages, and also discuss the goal of this project.
