Modeling the Optical Colors of Galactic Cirrus Clouds in the Stripe 82 Region

Kwang-Il Seon, Jongwan Ko, Woowon Byun +2

Observations have shown that the optical colors of Galactic cirrus clouds differ significantly from those of extragalactic sources; thus, they can be used to distinguish Galactic c…

A Nearby Dark Molecular Cloud in the Local Bubble Revealed via H Fluorescence

Blakesley Burkhart, Thavisha E. Dharmawardena, Shmuel Bialy +20

A longstanding prediction in interstellar theory posits that significant quantities of molecular gas, crucial for star formation, may be undetected due to being ``dark" in commonly…

The evolution of merger fraction of galaxies at z < 0.6 depending on the star formation mode in the AKARI NEP Wide field

Eunbin Kim, Ho Seong Hwang, Woong-Seob Jeong +19

We study the galaxy merger fraction and its dependence on star formation mode in the5.4 square degrees of the North Ecliptic Pole-Wide field. We select 6352 galaxies withAKARI 9μm…

Construction of a far ultraviolet all sky map from an incomplete survey: Application of a deep learning algorithm

Young-Soo Jo, Yeon-Ju Choi, Min-Gi Kim +3

We constructed a far ultraviolet (FUV) all sky map based on observations from the Far Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrograph (FIMS) aboard the Korean microsatellite STSAT-1. For the ~20%…

Global distribution of far-ultraviolet emissions from highly ionized gas in the Milky Way

Young-Soo Jo, Kwang-il Seon, Kyoung-Wook Min +2

We present all-sky maps of two major FUV cooling lines, C IV and O VI, of highly ionized gas to investigate the nature of the transition-temperature gas. From the extinction-correc…

Comparison of the extraplanar H and UV emissions in the halos of nearby edge-on spiral galaxies

Young-Soo Jo, Kwang-il Seon, Jong-Ho Shinn +3

We compare vertical profiles of the extraplanar H emission to those of the UV emission for 38 nearby edge-on late-type galaxies. It is found that detection of the "diffuse" extr…

Optical and UV surface brightness of translucent dark nebulae: Dust albedo, radiation field and fluorescence emission by H2

K. Mattila, M. Haas, L. K. Haikala +4

Photometry of the nebulae LDN1780, LDN1642 and LBN406 is used to derive scattering properties of dust and to investigate the presence of UV fluorescence emission by molecular hydro…

Far-ultraviolet fluorescent molecular hydrogen emission map of the Milky Way Galaxy

Young-Soo Jo, Kwang-Il Seon, Kyoung-Wook Min +2

We present the far-ultraviolet (FUV) fluorescent molecular hydrogen (H_2) emission map of the Milky Way Galaxy obtained with FIMS/SPEAR covering ~76% of the sky. The extinction-cor…

Bright stars observed by FIMS/SPEAR

Young-Soo Jo, Kwang-Il Seon, Kyoung-Wook Min +5

In this paper, we present a catalogue of the spectra of bright stars observed during the sky survey using the Far-Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrograph (FIMS), which was designed primar…

Is Dust Cloud around Orionis a Ring or a Shell, or Both?

Dukhang Lee, Kwang-Il Seon, Young-Soo Jo

The dust cloud around Orionis is observed to be circularly symmetric with a large angular extent ( 8 degrees). However, whether the three-dimensional (3D) structure of…

Far-ultraviolet study of the local supershell GSH 006-15+7

Young-Soo Jo, Kyoung-Wook Min, Kwang-Il Seon

We have analyzed the archival data of FUV observations for the region of GSH 006-15+7, a large shell-like structure discovered by Moss et al. (2012) from the H I velocity maps. FUV…

Far-Ultraviolet Observations of the Spica Nebula and the Interaction Zone

Yeon-Ju Choi, Kyoung-Wook Min, Kwang-Il Seon +3

We report the analysis results of far ultraviolet (FUV) observations, made for a broad region around Vir (Spica) including the interaction zone of Loop I and the Local Bubble.…

Simulation Study of Dust-Scattered Far-Ultraviolet Emission in the Orion-Eridanus Superbubble

Young-Soo Jo, Kyoung-Wook Min, Tae-Ho Lim +1

We present the results of dust scattering simulations carried out for the Orion Eridanus Superbubble region by comparing them with observations made in the far-ultraviolet. The alb…
