Constructing a Mock Galaxy Catalog for the All-sky SPECtroscopic Survey of Nearby Galaxies (A-SPEC) Using the Machine-assisted Semi-Simulation Model
Dongkok Kim, Yongseok Jo, Ho Seong Hwang +26
We present a methodology for constructing a mock galaxy catalog for the All-sky SPECtroscopic survey of nearby galaxies (A-SPEC) using the Machine-assisted Semi-Simulation Model. T…
K-DRIFT Science Theme: New Theoretical Framework Using the Galaxy Replacement Technique for LSB studies
Kyungwon Chun, Jihye Shin, Rory Smith +13
Low-surface-brightness (LSB) structures provide critical insights into the hierarchical formation of galaxies and galaxy clusters. The KASI Deep Rolling Imaging Fast Telescope (K-D…
K-DRIFT Science Theme: Galaxies in the Faint Universe
Woowon Byun, Yongmin Yoon, Jongwan Ko +17
Low-surface-brightness (LSB) structures serve as evidence of the intricate mass assembly of galaxies, and dedicatedly studying them promises to give us profound insights into the e…
K-DRIFT Science Theme: Galactic Cirrus Clouds and Circumgalactic Medium
Kwang-il Seon, Jaehyun Lee, Jongwan Ko +8
In this paper, we review the extended halo material and the circumgalactic medium (CGM), including both dust and gas, and discuss promising science cases that could be realized usi…
A New Collision Avoidance Fiber Assignment Algorithm for Robotic Fiber Positioners in Multi-Object Spectroscopy
Minseong Kwon, Ho Seong Hwang, Jong Chul Lee +22
We present a new fiber assignment algorithm for a robotic fiber positioner system in multi-object spectroscopy. Modern fiber positioner systems typically have overlapping patrol re…
K-DRIFT Science Theme: Illuminating the Next Era of Galaxy Cluster Science
Jaewon Yoo, Kyungwon Chun, Jongwan Ko +13
The KASI Deep Rolling Imaging Fast Telescope (K-DRIFT) is a pioneering instrument designed to explore low-surface-brightness (LSB) phenomena. This white paper presents a compelling…
